Graphite Properties

Graphite is characterised as organic and synthetic. Natural graphite comes from mining. The refined graphite contains carbon, sulfur, SiO2 and Ash. The crystallizing quality of graphite is determined by the higher content of carbon, and more the lubricity and resistance to oxidation. Synthetic graphite is sintered from high temperature and has extremely high carbon content of up to 99.5-99.9%, and is thus very good as a lubricant.
