Premium Grade Graphite Foil

MinGraph® 2010A

High purity premium grade, or nuclear grade flexible graphite foil is made from compressed high purity exfoliated mineral graphite, no binders or fillers. The material is treated in multiple special processes to achieve ultra-low levels of sulfur, chloride and other impurity contents.
