Natural flake graphite is the carbon source in magnesia-carbon (MgO-C) bricks used for electric arc furnace (EAF) linings, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) converters and ladle walls. Crystalline flake provides superior thermal shock resistance and lower oxidation rates compared to amorphous carbon sources. Recommended grade: SGF-91.
Alumina-graphite and zirconia-graphite compositions require high-purity flake graphite for consistent erosion resistance and low wettability by molten steel. Tight particle size control (D50 75–150 µm) is critical for dense, crack-free sintered bodies. Recommended grade: SGF-94.
Clay-graphite and silicon carbide-graphite crucibles for non-ferrous metal melting (aluminium, copper, brass, zinc) demand large-flake graphite with consistent Cg% and low sulphur content. Skaland's low-sulphur deposit is preferred for applications where outgassing must be minimised. Recommended grade: SGF-91/94.
Refractory castables, gunning mixes and ramming pastes for aluminium smelting pots, blast furnace troughs and cement rotary kilns use fine-grained refractory graphite as the carbon source. Natural flake outperforms synthetic graphite in bond strength and thermal conductivity at high loadings. Recommended grade: SGF-94/96.
Refractory graphite performance depends heavily on crystallinity. Natural flake graphite from Skaland has a highly ordered layer structure (high Lc crystallite size) that gives it measurable advantages in refractory formulations:
At 31% graphitic carbon in the deposit, Skaland mine produces concentrate with naturally high crystallinity and large flake size — no high-temperature graphitisation required, unlike synthetic alternatives.
Graphite is designated an EU Critical Raw Material. Skaland is Europe's largest natural graphite producer, providing a fully traceable, conflict-mineral-free alternative to Chinese-origin refractory graphite.
Every shipment: batch-specific CoA (Cg%, D50, moisture, ash), REACH declaration, MSDS/SDS, CMR and Country of Origin certificate. Extended ESG documentation on request.
