Graphite fabric
Technical graphite fabric is a heat-resistant, electrically conductive, multi-purpose material.
It is used in the chemical and metallurgical industries as thermal insulation.
The combination of graphite’s properties with the flexibility of fabric makes it ideal for reinforcing ceramics and refractory linings intended for thermal protection.
Graphite fabric is produced from threads made of thermally expanded graphite (TEG).
Graphite fabrics of various thicknesses are used to manufacture gaskets for pipeline joints, ensuring tight sealing.
In electrical engineering, graphite fabric is used in current-collecting components, while in electrometallurgy it ensures reliable electrical contact with electrodes in electrochemical processes.
Its minimal gas emission makes it suitable for the smelting of high-purity alloys.
When necessary, metallic threads can be incorporated into the fabric structure.
Thermally expanded graphite (TEG)
Thermally expanded graphite (TEG) is a graphite-based material that contains no resins or inorganic fillers.
TEG does not melt, but it can undergo sublimation at temperatures exceeding 3300 °C.
Thermally expanded graphite is an excellent material for gland packings, and it is also widely used in flat gaskets and as a filler in spiral wound gaskets.
Applications:
TEG performs exceptionally well at elevated temperatures.
It is non-flammable, does not support combustion, non-explosive, and non-toxic.
