Expandable Graphite Applications

Expandable graphite is a actinic intercalation admixture of graphite that expands or exfoliates if heated. This actual is bogus by alleviative cell graphite with assorted intercalation reagents that drift amid the graphene layers in a graphite clear and abide as abiding species.

If apparent to a accelerated access in temperature, these intercalation compounds decompose into aerial products, which after-effects in top inter-graphene band pressure. This burden develops abundant force to growth afar graphite basal planes in the “c” arbor direction. The aftereffect is an access in the aggregate of the graphite of up to 300 times, a blurred of aggregate density, and about a 10-fold access in apparent area.

Expandable graphite is used as a blaze suppressant intumescent additive, as a raw actual to accomplish graphite gasket products, as an electrically conductive filler, as a branch additive, and in a growthd array of added automated applications.

Applications:

Expandable graphite has been used as non-halogen flame retardant in various applications such as

Polyurethane foam

EVA foam

Roofing

Non-flammable paint

Construction materials

Sealings

Polyolefin resin

Thermoplastic resin

Thermoset resin

Rubber
