Expandable Graphite Market: Introduction
- Expandable graphite expands when heated. It is manufactured by treating flake graphite with reagents, including acid, that migrate between graphite layers and heat. Expansion of flake graphite decreases the material’s overall bulk density. However, it increases the surface area. This change yields a material that demonstrates increased chemical reactivity over the original material. Expandable graphite is primarily used as a flame retardant. Expansion produces an intumescent layer on the surface of graphite flake and reduces the creation of toxic gases and fumes. Expandable graphite is also employed in thermal management in consumer electronics products. It is employed in various other industrial applications including fire retardants and heat and corrosion resistant gaskets.
