Carbon Graphite

Graphite is a mineral consisting of carbon. Carbon graphite is a good conductor of electricity and is used in many electrical applications due to its high refractory qualities including chemical and high temperature resistance. Carbon can be brittle, however can be impregnated with resin or metal to increase its performance and physical strength.

What are the advantages of Carbon Graphite?

  • Self-lubricating
