FLEXIBLE GRAPHITE

Flexible graphite is a soft sheet form of compressed natural graphite made from exfoliated mineral flake(crystalline) graphite. Due to its flexible texture, it is referred to as flexible graphite to distinguish it from other forms of graphite materials: flake graphite, amorphous graphite, artificial graphite (hard graphite), graphite electrodes, graphite/carbon fiber, etc. Sometimes flexible graphite is also referred to by a manufacturer's brand name like grafoil... Flexible graphite is manufactured from mineral graphite (expandable flake graphite). It is also called graphite foil, or referred to by a brand name such as Grafoil®. As its name indicates, flexible graphite is flexible and conformable, an ideal property as a gasket material. Flexible graphite can also be used in many other thermal, electronic or electrochemical applications... Natural mineral graphite is unique. It is a non-metallic mineral, but is thermally and electrically conductive like metal. It is formed with..
