What is Natural Flake Graphite?
Natural flake graphite is natural epitaxial graphite, which looks like a fish scale, belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, with a laminated structure, and it has good properties of high-temperature resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lubrication, plasticity, and resistance to acid and alkali.

Natural flake graphite is a kind of natural solid lubricant with a laminar structure, which is abundant and cheap.
Natural flake graphite has complete crystallization, thin flakes with good toughness, excellent physical and chemical properties, good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.
 
Differences between natural flake graphite and artificial flake graphite
1. From the material, there is a certain difference between natural flake graphite and artificial flake graphite.
 
Natural flake graphite, pure natural graphite can be made into electric core and graphite sheet after rough processing, and graphite sheet and natural graphite film after fine processing. The artificial graphite substrate is not graphite but is made by carbonizing an insulating sheet and then attaching graphite powder to both sides of it. The cost of artificial flake graphite is high, so the production is relatively small.
 
2. In terms of performance, there is also a difference between natural scale graphite and artificial flake graphite in terms of application.
 
Although they are both much used in tablet computers, smartphones. However, artificial flake graphite is generally used in millet, apple, and other mobile phones. In contrast, natural flake graphite is generally used in domestic smartphones because natural flake graphite has a great advantage in price.
 
3. From the way of production and processing, natural flake graphite and artificial flake graphite are also different.
 
 Natural flake graphite is the product after ore mining, flotation, drying, cataloging, purification, crushing, and other deep processing, while artificial flake graphite is the product of petroleum coke after graphitizing.
 
The Applications of Natural Flake Graphite
Natural flake graphite is widely used in advanced refractories and coatings for the gold industry, such as magnesium carbon bricks, crucibles, etc. It is also used as a stabilizing agent for pyrotechnic materials in the military industry, as an accelerating agent for desulphurization in the smelting industry, as a pencil lead in the light industry, as a carbon brush in the electrical industry, as an electrode in the battery industry, as a catalyst in the chemical fertilizer industry and so on. Scalar graphite, after in-depth processing, can produce graphite emulsion, used for lubricants, mold-releasing agents, wire drawing agents, conductive coatings, and so on. Natural flake graphite can also produce expanded graphite, used as raw materials for flexible graphite products, such as flexible graphite seals and flexible graphite composite material products.
 
Natural flake graphite is mainly used as a functional filler for coatings such as anticorrosive coatings, fireproof coatings, and conductive coatings. As anticorrosive material, the antirust primer made of natural flake graphite and carbon black, talcum powder, and oil has good resistance to chemicals and solvents corrosion; if chemical pigments such as zinc yellow are added to the formula, its antirust effect is better.
