Flake graphite constitutes a unique set of properties, accredited to its molecular structure, making it an essential material for multiple applications:
- A crystalline form of Carbon
- A solid state lubricant
- Once intercalated expands many-fold at onset temperature
- Only non-metallic conductor
- Sustains temperatures of >3000*c
- Graphene is an atom layer of flake graphite
STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES
Given these molecular characteristics, flake graphite is a material with a unique set of properties, making it the preferred and mostly non-replaceable choice in various industries, products and applications.
Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India, with a vision of developing a world-leading benchmark flake graphite company.
