Expanded Graphite Yarn
Expanded Graphite Yarn
Expanded Graphite Yarn
Known for its flexibility and durability, expanded graphite yarn is widely used in applications such as packing, sealing, and gasket fabrication, where both thermal and chemical resilience are required.
Expanded graphite yarn is a high-performance, heat-resistant sealing and insulation material made from pure expanded graphite Fibers. This yarn offers exceptional thermal conductivity, chemical resistance, and high-temperature stability, making it ideal for use in environments exposed to extreme heat, aggressive chemicals, and pressure.

Key Features of Expanded Graphite Yarn
1) High Temperature Resistance: Can withstand continuous temperatures up to 500°C (932°F) and short-term exposure up to 3000°C (5432°F) in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
2) Excellent Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents.
3) High Thermal Conductivity: Provides excellent heat dissipation, making it ideal for high-temperature sealing and insulation applications.
4) Non-Flammable and Non-Toxic: Does not burn or emit harmful gases when exposed to extreme heat.
5) Flexible and Compressible: The yarn’s soft and flexible nature allows for easy installation and shaping, even in complex or irregular sealing applications.
Uses of Expanded Graphite Yarn
1) Sealing and Packing: Commonly used to manufacture compression packing for valves, pumps, and other high-temperature or high-pressure equipment.
2) Gaskets and Seals: Ideal for creating gaskets and seals in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and steel manufacturing, where both thermal resistance and chemical stability are required.
3) Thermal Insulation: Used to wrap pipes, flanges, and high-temperature equipment for thermal insulation and heat retention.
4) Graphite Tapes and Rings: Serves as the raw material for producing graphite tapes, rings, and other sealing products that require heat resistance and chemical inertness.
5) Molten Metal Handling: Suitable for use in foundries and metal processing plants due to its resistance to high temperatures and molten materials.
Benefits of Expanded Graphite Yarn
1) High Thermal and Chemical Stability: Ideal for use in harsh environments where both heat and chemical resistance are crucial.
2) Durable and Long Lasting: Provides a longer service life than many other sealing materials due to its resistance to wear, corrosion, and heat.
3) Versatile: Can be used in a wide variety of industries, including petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, and metalworking.
4) Safe to Use: Non-toxic and free from hazardous materials like asbestos, making it a safe option for industrial applications.
