Custom graphite CNC machined parts, molds, and EDM electrodes

Capability Highlights

  • High-performance halogen-free flame retardant additive
  • Massive expansion volume when exposed to extreme heat
  • Customized expansion temperatures, particle sizes, and pH levels

Typical Applications

  • Polyurethane foams and EPS insulation panels
  • Fire-stop collars, sealants, and coatings
  • Battery pack thermal runaway protection
  • Roofing materials and rubber compounds
  • Gasket manufacturing (flexible graphite foil precursor)

Engineering Focus

  • Expansion onset temperature (SET) tailored to polymer processing limits
  • Particle size distribution to balance mechanical strength and fire performance
  • Neutralization (pH) to prevent corrosion of processing equipment

Key Evaluation Matrix

MetricTypical RangeWhy It Matters
Expansion Volume150 - 350+ ml/gDetermines the thickness and effectiveness of the insulating char layer formed during a fire.
Carbon Content85% - 99%Higher carbon purity provides better thermal stability and fewer impurities in the final product.
pH Value5.0 - 8.0Neutral pH is critical to prevent acidic corrosion of processing machinery and metal contacts in end-use (e.g., EV batteries).

RFQ Checklist

  1. Target expansion volume (e.g., 200 ml/g, 300 ml/g)
  2. Required onset temperature (e.g., 160°C, 220°C)
  3. Particle size (mesh size) and carbon purity percentage
  4. Host material (e.g., PU foam, rubber) and required pH limits

Risk Controls

  • Premature expansion during compounding: Strictly match the onset temperature of the graphite to be safely above the polymer processing temperature.
  • Acidic corrosion of equipment: Use thoroughly washed and neutralized grades (pH 6-8) to protect extrusion screws and molds.
  • Loss of mechanical strength in host polymer: Optimize particle size (mesh); larger flakes give better fire protection but can reduce polymer tensile strength.

Buyer FAQ

Why use expandable graphite instead of traditional flame retardants?

It is halogen-free, non-toxic, and acts physically by forming a thick, insulating intumescent char layer that cuts off oxygen and heat.

How do I choose the right onset temperature?

The onset temperature must be higher than your manufacturing process temperature (e.g., extrusion) to prevent premature expansion, but low enough to react quickly in a fire.

Can you provide samples for R&D?

Yes, we can provide specific grades for compounding trials based on your particle size and expansion requirements.
