Graphite is used in a wide variety of industries where its unique properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, lubricity and inertness are important. Some of the main applications of graphite are shown below:

• Electrical Carbons - Carbon brushes and other moulded shapes.
• Friction materials - Brake pads & linings, clutch facings.
• Pencil leads.
• Lubricants - Oils, greases, colloidal suspensions.
• Powder metallurgy - Sintered metal components.
• Refractories - Graphite/Magnesite, Graphite/Alumina etc.
• Coatings - Foundry facings, protective, marine, conductive.
• Batteries.
• Sealing materials - Gaskets, packings, seals.
• Rubber - Fillers to impart lubricating properties.
• Composites - Resin-bonded.
• Foundries/Steelworks - Carbon raisers.
• Intumescent materials - Fire protection (Expandable Graphite).
• Printing Inks - Electrically conductive.
