Advantages of Flexible Graphite Foil
- Excellent thermal stability and reflectivity.
- Resistant to low temperature of -200 degree C.
- Resistant
to high temperature of 450 degree C in air, 700 degree C in steam and
3000 degree C in inert or reducing environment.
- Chemically inert: Resistant to fluids with pH range of 0-14 (except strong oxidizers such as nitric or sulphuric acid).
- High purity – eliminates potential fluid contamination, ideal material for nuclear applications
- Low coefficient of friction - It is self-lubricating.
- Asbestos free – no associated health hazards.
- Low electrical resistivity.
- High thermal conductivity.
- Highly
anisotropic - the electrical and thermal conductivity characteristics
are very different in the direction parallel to and perpendicular to
flakes.
- Excellent in-process longevity – save replacement and down time costs.
