Graphite
is known to be the natural allotropic form of carbon that appears to
be greyish-black in color. This extremely soft mineral is usually
found in the igneous and metamorphic rocks. Due to its lowers
specific gravity, the mentioned element has the capability of
cleaving with very light pressure. It is opaque in nature possessing
lustrous black sheen. Graphite is unique from other elements
in the way as it possess both the properties of metallic and
non-metallic characteristics due to its crystalline structure. This
being the reason, it has high electrical and thermal conductivity
with chemically and refractory inertness. As the offered range has
the capability of absorbing X-Rays, it finds usage in the nuclear
applications. Moreover, its stability at higher temperatures makes it
an ideal choice to be used for the production of refractory bricks.
