Product Profile of Expandable Graphite as Thermal Insulator
Expandable Graphite as Thermal Insulator is based on natural graphite with insulating properties and when heated to 900°C it expands several times, depending on the grades used. The Expandable Graphite is effective when used with normal exothermic or insulating type anti-piping compounds, casting powders and bottom poured teeming compounds. Expandable Graphite as Thermal Insulator is manufactured by Metachem Manufacturing Company Pvt. Ltd.
Metachem Manufacturing Company Pvt. Ltd. supplies a wide range of graded cast iron, s.g iron, steel castings and expandable graphites. Expandable Graphite as Thermal Insulator prolongs the liquid state of metal, thus avoiding shrinkage and gives a soft crust and a soft shrinkage pattern.
Key Features of Expandable Graphite as Thermal Insulator
