Expandable Graphite

Natural flake graphite intercalated with sulfuric/nitric complexes; expands 200–450 times original volume when heated above ~150 °C. The resulting intumescent char acts as a heat, oxygen and smoke barrier, providing a halogen-free route to fire-retardant formulations.

Features

Fast onset expansion – begins to intumesce at 150–180 °C


High expansion ratio – forms thick insulating layer within seconds


Halogen-free – low smoke and non-corrosive gas emission


Post-treatable – acid level can be reduced for pH-sensitive systems
