When performing in an electrolytic cell, graphite meets these requirements: high electrical conductivity, high purity and durability; it operates at low voltages and is easily machined and readily assembled.
GrafTech advanced graphite materials have a lot to offer. YBD™ carbon is particularly suited for fluorine production. Its high resistance, low thermal conductivity, resistance to chemical attack and piece-to-piece uniformity make it the preferred low cost material in this application.
Graphite's high electrical conductivity, low voltage operation and low cost make it an ideal material for this application. Check out how our specialty graphite materials can meet your needs.
Resistance to chemical attack is a key property in electrolysis cells. Our advanced graphite materials stand up to these challenging environments in your applications.
GrafTech™ graphite powders are available in a wide range of size distributions for use in an array of specialized applications. Our powders portfolio covers a range of products that include Primary Synthetic, Secondary Synthetic, and Natural Graphite-based materials.
GRAFCELL® Flow Field Plates are made from expanded natural graphite. Through a proprietary manufacturing process, GRAFCELL materials retain a continuous graphite phase. This unique phase continuity, combined with an extremely low contact resistance, provides superior electrical and thermal properties in comparison to both synthetic graphite composite and metallic fuel cell components. Since the early 1990's, GRAFCELL technology has played a critical role in improving fuel cell power density and performance. With over two million kilometers of proven road experience in car and bus applications, GRAFCELL FFP SERIES continuous phase flow field plates have replaced synthetic graphite as the premier material for PEM fuel cells.
