Graphite

Graphite, a naturally occurring form of crystalline carbon, is a soft, slippery, greyish-black material that can either be mined naturally or synthetically produced. It’s renowned for its unique properties including its high thermal and electrical conductivity, resistance to heat and chemical reactions, and its ability to form a thin layer of lubrication.

These properties make graphite a precious commodity in high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-friction environments, making it crucial in various industrial applications.


At TXRocks, we proudly supply a diverse range of critical minerals, each playing a unique role in advancing various industries. Graphite, a mineral known for its remarkable conductivity and heat resistance, finds use in everything from battery technology to aerospace.

Critical Usecases

Battery Technologies

Graphite is used as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries, which power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, due to its excellent conductivity.

Electrodes

Due to its high heat resistance and electrical conductivity, graphite is used to manufacture electrodes for electric arc furnaces in the steel industry.

Pencil Lead

Graphite mixed with clay forms ‘lead’ in pencils, leveraging its lubricating property.

Lubricants

Graphite is used as a dry lubricant in machinery, locks, and other applications where wet lubricants aren’t suitable.

Nuclear Reactors

Graphite is used as a neutron moderator in nuclear reactors due to its ability to slow down fast neutrons without capturing them.
