Flake and amorphous graphite for batteries and industry
Product Overview
About Natural Graphite
Graphite is the largest mineral component of lithium-ion batteries by mass and a designated critical raw material in every major economy. Demand from battery anode production is projected to multiply through the decade.
CriticalOre supplies natural graphite in both flake and amorphous forms from Southeast Asian and partner origins, with carbon grade, particle size distribution and impurity profile matched to each buyer's application.
| Parameter | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Carbon - Flake | 90% – 97% | - |
| Fixed Carbon - Amorphous | 75% – 85% | - |
| Mesh Sizes | +32 to -200 mesh | Per buyer requirement |
| Moisture | < 0.5% | - |
| Ash Content | Balance, reported per lot | - |
| Sulfur (S) | < 0.3% | - |
Carbon grade and mesh per contract; sieve analysis and full COA issued per lot.
Flake vs. Amorphous Graphite
Flake graphite - crystalline flakes with high carbon purity, essential for spherical graphite production in lithium-ion battery anodes, plus expandable graphite and high-end refractories.
Amorphous graphite - microcrystalline material offering economical carbon for steelmaking recarburization, foundry facings, brake linings and lubricants.
Quality Testing
- Fixed carbon, ash, volatiles and moisture per lot
- Sieve analysis / particle size distribution
- Impurity profile (S, Fe, SiO₂) on request
