The Main Characteristics and Application of Graphite Plate

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It is a gray-black, opaque solid with stable chemical properties, corrosion resistance, and is not easy to react with chemicals such as acids and alkalis. Natural graphite comes from graphite deposits, and can also be made of artificial graphite using petroleum coke, pitch coke, etc. as raw materials after a series of processes.

Nowadays, graphite sheets are favored by graphite processing enterprises due to their technological characteristics. Graphite plates are widely used in electrochemistry, chemical industry, metallurgy, military and other industries. It can be divided into: high temperature, conductive, anode, high purity, flexible and other types of graphite plates. What are the main characteristics of the graphite plate? With the development of modern science and technology and industry, graphite plate has become an indispensable product in industry, and its application field will continue to expand. What are the application fields of graphite plate ?

Ⅰ. The main characteristics of graphite plate

1. The graphite plate has excellent self-lubrication and long service life.

2. The graphite plate has good chemical corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance and strong corrosion resistance.
