Do you know about natural flake graphite?

Russia and Ukraine is an important exporters of oil, natural gas, metals, fertilizers, rare gases and other industrial raw materials. Affected by the further intensification of the tension of the war, the global market has become more worried about the supply of the Natural flake graphite​, and panic spreads in the futures market. Prices of commodities such as aluminum and nickel are at recent highs on concerns that supplies will fall. Russia accounts for 49 percent of global exports of nickel, 42 percent of palladium, 26 percent of aluminum and 13 percent of platinum, and is a significant exporter of steel and copper. Palladium is an important metal for sensors and memory. In addition, Russia is the world's largest exporter of nitrogen fertilizer, the second largest exporter of potash fertilizer, and the third-largest exporter of phosphate fertilizer. Ukraine is also an important producer of nitrogen fertilizer. Russia's natural gas supply also has a significant impact on the global fertilizer industry and Natural flake graphite​ industry, especially in Europe. The price of the Natural flake graphite​ will also fluctuate to some extent. Russia carries out crude gas separation, and Ukraine is responsible for refined exports. Ukraine supplies 70% of the world's neon, 40% of krypton and 30% of xenon. These three gases are the materials used to make chips.

Natural flake graphite is a natural crystalline graphite, which is shaped like a fish-phosphorus, belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, and has a layered structure.

Flake graphite is a natural solid lubricant with a layered structure, which is abundant in resources and cheap.

What is the features of natural flake graphite?

The flake graphite has complete crystals, thin flakes and good toughness, excellent physical and chemical properties, good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

What is the distribution of natural flake graphite?

In December 2015, geological prospectors discovered a super-large scale graphite mine in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia. The total amount of proven graphite resources was 130 million tons, accounting for about 7.3% of the global recoverable reserves. Grade 5.45%. According to reports, such high-grade, ultra-large-scale graphite deposits are rare in China.

According to the 2013 report of the US Geological Survey, the global amount of large flake graphite minerals is less than 5 million tons. The amount of large scale graphite minerals found in the Chahanmuhulu graphite mining area in Alxa Left Banner is as high as 7.03 million tons.

What is the classification of natural flake graphite?

Classification by carbon content

For example, C%>99.9% is high-purity graphite; 94%

Classification by particle size

When the particle size is smaller than w38 micropowder graphite.

What is the standard of natural flake graphite? 

Flake graphite standard GB T 3518-2008

The development of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will continue to dominate the commodity prices such as the Natural flake graphite​ in the future. If the conflict eases or cools, Russia and Ukraine go back to negotiate, commodity prices would fall. However, if the situation between Russia and Ukraine deteriorates further, or evolves into a full-scale war, the price of the Natural flake graphite​ is predicted to see further improvement over the coming days.
