Expandable Graphite

Expandable Graphite

Expandable graphite (acidified graphite), a graphite intercalation compound obtained from natural crystalline flake graphite treated with an acidic oxidizing agent,is also known as graphitic acid, acidified graphite, or graphite oxide.

1.Expandable graphite for EPS is mainly used in EPS board and coating, which has the functions of heat preservation, waterproof and fire prevention.

2.Due to its expandability and high temperature resistance, expandable graphite has become an excellent sealing material and is widely used in fireproof sealing strips.

3.The fine particles of expandable graphite can be added into the common coating, and the flame-retardant and anti-static coating with better effect can be prepared, which can improve its high temperature resistance and fire resistance.

4.Because of its good compressibility, resilience, self-adhesive propertiy, and can be used for a long time under high temperature, high corrosion and other harsh working conditions, the expandable graphite is widely used for flexible graphite sheet, graphite plate, and so on.

5. Becuase of its rich pore structure and excellent adsorption property, it is widely used in environmental protection and biomedicine.

6. As a battery material, expandable graphite is converted into electrical energy by the change of free energy of the interlayer reaction of expandable graphite.
