[ NATURAL GRAPHITE ]
Expanded graphite
Graphite obtained by thermally expanding expandable graphite. Base for flexible graphite and intumescent fillers.
| Physical and mechanical properties | Value |
|---|---|
| Bulk density | Very low (vermicular) |
| Origin | Thermal expansion of expandable graphite |
| Conformability | High |
Applications
Flexible graphite feedstock
Fire-protection fillers
Thermal compounds
Sealing
Result of thermally expanding expandable graphite: a low-density vermicular structure. It is compacted to produce flexible graphite (sheet, tapes, laminates) or used as filler.
Sheets, tapes, and packings are geometries or products derived from this material.
