Frequently Asked Questions
What is Natural Graphite?
Natural graphite is a crystalline form of carbon found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. It’s mined from the earth and valued for its high thermal/electrical conductivity, lubricity, and resistance to heat and chemicals.
What is the difference between Natural Graphite and Synthetic Graphite?
Natural graphite is mined from the earth and contains impurities, while synthetic graphite is artificially produced through high-temperature treatment of carbon materials, resulting in higher purity and tailored properties. Natural graphite is softer and more flaky, whereas synthetic graphite is harder and more uniform.
What are the most common uses of Natural Graphite?
The most common use of natural graphite is in refractories, such as bricks and linings for high-temperature industrial furnaces (e.g., steel and glass production). It’s also widely used in crucibles, batteries (especially lithium-ion batteries), lubricants, pencils, etc.
What do these notations mean +595, +897, -888?
These are common short hands used in the graphite trade. Usually, they denote the mesh size and fixed carbon.
+50 mesh: Particles larger than 50 mesh (e.g., +50 mesh = particles retained on a 50-mesh sieve).
95% carbon: The graphite contains 95% carbon purity.
Similarly, +897 is +80 mesh and 97% FC.
-888 is -80 mesh and 88% FC.

What is Natural Graphite?
Natural graphite is a crystalline form of carbon that occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust. It is composed of carbon atoms arranged in layers of hexagonal lattices, which gives graphite its unique combination of properties: it is soft, slippery, electrically conductive, and highly resistant to heat. Unlike many industrial materials…
