Natural Flake Graphite has numerous applications due its fundamental softness, including in lubricant formulations and as an additive to structural materials and metallic alloys. We provide graphite in natural flakes of 32 mesh, 50 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh, -100 mesh, -200 mesh, -325 mesh and purities from 85-99.99%. Natural Flake Graphite is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Carbon is a Block P, Group 12, Period 2 element. The electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2. In its elemental form carbon's CAS number is 7440-44-0. The carbon atom has a radius of 70.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 170.pm. Carbon in its elemental form is one of the softest (graphite) and hardest (diamond) materials found in nature. Applications for graphitic carbon include in lubricant formulations and as the replacement for lead in pencils. Diamond has numerous industrial applications due to its extreme hardness and resistance to heat and pressure. Graphene is a nanoscale ultra thin film or foil with thicknesses as small as 1 nanometer which can be produced from either silicon carbide or graphite flake processing. These include in drill bits and grinding media and grinding equipment. Carbon also finds application in steel alloys, in various filtering and purification technologies and as a neutron moderator in nuclear power plants.
