Where SGF-98 and SGF-99 are specified

EV Battery Materials

Li-ion Battery Anode Material

Natural flake graphite is the dominant anode active material in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and stationary storage. SGF-98 and SGF-99 provide the high-purity feedstock required before spheroidisation and surface coating. Large-flake morphology gives a higher spheroidisation yield than small-flake or amorphous sources, reducing cost per kg of finished anode material.

Key parameters for anode qualification: Cg%, D50, D90, BET surface area, tap density — all available in our technical datasheet. Contact us to discuss your anode specification.

Advanced Materials

Graphene Oxide & rGO Synthesis

Ultra-pure graphite is the feedstock for graphene oxide (GO) production via the Hummers or modified Hummers method. Trace metal content directly affects final GO quality — particularly iron, manganese and sulphur. SGF-99 from Skaland has inherently low metallic impurities due to the deposit's geological purity, reducing acid wash cycles required. Large flake size yields larger graphene sheet lateral dimensions.

Technical

Expandable Graphite Precursor

SGF-98 and SGF-99 large-flake graphite is the preferred precursor for expandable graphite production (intercalated with sulphuric acid or acetic anhydride). High-purity, large-flake feed produces higher expansion ratios (up to 300 cm³/g) and more uniform worm structure. Applications include flame retardant coatings, sealing materials and thermal insulation.

Critical Applications

Nuclear & Specialised Research

High-purity natural graphite for neutron moderator applications and fusion energy research requires documentation packages beyond standard commercial supply. SGF-98 and SGF-99 can be supplied with extended certification covering boron equivalent (B-eq), trace metal analysis (ICP-MS) and full chain-of-custody documentation. Contact us to discuss requirements.

EU Battery Regulation Compliance

Annex X traceability — built in from the mine

The EU Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) requires battery manufacturers to document the origin and carbon footprint of critical raw materials including graphite. Skaland's single-mine supply chain simplifies compliance in three ways:

  • Single country of origin — Norway. No blended sources, no sub-supplier ambiguity. Country of Origin certificate on every shipment.
  • Low carbon footprint — approximately 1–2 t CO₂e per tonne of graphite, due to Norway's near-100% renewable electricity grid and the mine's world-record ore grade reducing processing energy per tonne.
  • EU Critical Raw Material designation — sourcing from a listed EU CRM producer aligns with the EU Critical Raw Materials Act strategic objectives and may support state-aid eligibility for battery gigafactories.
  • Independent of Chinese export licensing — Skaland operates entirely outside China's graphite export permit system (in force since December 2023), removing a key supply risk for European battery manufacturers.
