Flexible Graphite Wire

Flexible graphite wire is used to expand graphite through high pressure
instantaneously into the high temperature 800℃-1100℃ expansion furnace, due
to the absorption of the compound in the layer lattice decomposition, the
volume of arbitrary expansion 160 times to 280 times than before, into a very
low density of worm-like, adding adhesive and different natural fibers, such
as: Cotton yarn、glass fiber and carbonized fibre as well as others reinforcing
materials form into strips. After the compounding and cutting processes of the
composite machine in addition to other process，it is sent to spinning machine
to textile.
Product characteristics
In order to adapt to different working conditions, metal materials such as
nickel alloy wire, stainless steel wire and copper wire can be inserted, and
various types of reinforced flexible graphite wires can be made through
specific processes, which are used to weave flexible graphite coils with
different effects in the sealing industry and various specifications of
graphite grounding bodies in the power industry.
