Flexible Graphite

Flexible Graphite

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.

Main Characteristics and Specs

    • Flexible and conformable nature
    • Chemical resistant, compatible with most corrosive chemicals
    • Heat and flame resistant
    • Thermal conductive, electrical conductive
    • Low creep relaxation and no aging

Chemical Composition: C 99% or higher
Density: 62.4 or 70 lb/ft3
Thermal Conductivity:
  Through Thickness ("c") 36 BTU.in/ft2.h.F (5 W/m.K)
  Parallel to Surface("a") 960 BTU.in/ft2.h.F (140 W/m.K)
Compatible pH Range: 1-14

Typical Applications

Heat and chemical resistant gasket, seal, liner; sheet lubricant; thermal conductive seal; heat barrier; EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding and gasketing, heat dissipation, stress sensing, vibration damping, spark plasma sintering(SPS), and other thermal, electronic or electrochemical applications.
