The Application of Expandable Graphite
1. Sealing material: the raw material high carbon graphite is mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid for acidification treatment, heat treatment and then pressed into shape. The prepared flexible graphite is a new high-performance sealing material and a nano material grown in situ. Compared with traditional sealing materials such as asbestos rubber, it has good Compressibility, resilience, self-adhesion, low density and other excellent properties, and can be used at high temperature It has been used for a long time under harsh working conditions such as high corrosion. Graphite plates and sealing elements made of it are widely used in aerospace, machinery, electronics, nuclear energy, petrochemical, electric power, shipbuilding, smelting and other industries. Because of its excellent characteristics such as light weight, conductivity, heat conduction, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, good resilience, lubrication, plasticity and chemical
