Applications of graphite and carbon
Graphite is the purest form of carbon and stands out for being an excellent thermal and electrical conductor, surpassing other non-metals in these capacities. In addition, graphite is characterized by its flexibility, its refractory nature and its chemical inertia, qualities that make it an indispensable material in a wide variety of applications.

Thermal Insulation
Graphite felt is used as thermal insulation in high-temperature furnaces.
Graphite Mechanical Rings and Seals
We manufacture mechanical rings and seals for various applications.
Vanes for Centrifugal Pumps
We handle material for vanes of centrifugal pumps. Thanks to the self-lubricating dry properties of graphite, these allow compression or vacuum to be performed without oil and free from contamination.
Stirring Rods
Chemical-resistant rods, suitable for
Impregnated Blanks
We offer impregnated graphite blanks (bushings) for highly demanding processes.
Bushings
Graphite qualities, such as dry self-lubrication, resistance to wear, and high-temperature resistance, among others, make it particularly useful for use as a bushing for special applications.
Graphite Tapes
Smooth and corrugated tapes for packing pipes and ducts exposed to chemical agents in the chemical, petrochemical, and mechanical industries.
Electrical Contacts
We handle material for the manufacture of electrical contacts and pantographs, both for overhead cranes and for trams and trolleybuses.
Crucibles and Molds
We handle material for high-density graphite crucibles and molds for the handling of metals in foundry and casting processes.
Extrusion Dies
Graphite is used for the manufacturing of extrusion dies, thanks to its mechanical properties and its ability to reduce friction in the extrusion process.
Electrodes for Electroerosion
High-purity graphite grades for the production of electrodes for electroerosion.
Graphite Braided Packing
Braided packing for sealing pipes and ducts exposed to chemical agents in the chemical, petrochemical, and mechanical industries.
Carbon Brushes
The conductive properties of graphite make it the ideal material for the production of contact brushes for electric motors.
Fenders
Among the components of furnaces for glass production, graphite fenders and channels are used for handling molten glass.
Gaskets and Packing
Manufacturing of gaskets and packing in automotive monoblocks resistant to high temperatures using expanded graphite foil.
Graphite for Glass Handling
Used in the handling of glass as components in float glass furnaces, as well as for the handling of containers in production lines.
Graphite Inserts
Graphite inserts reduce friction in bushings and supports.
Lances and Fluxing Tubes
Graphite lances and/or fluxing tubes are used in the foundry industry to inject gases to the bottom of the molten material to bring impurities to the surface through gas bubbling. This allows for increased purity of the molten material.
Lubricants for Agricultural Machinery
Dry lubrication for iron-to-iron contact.
Lubricants for Grain Hoppers
Water-based paint-type lubricant to improve lubrication on walls of grain hoppers.
Lubricants for Transportation
Dry, non-contaminating lubricant for railway wagons, trucks, and others.
Graphite Molds for Sintering
Graphite molds for the sintering of parts are commonly used at high temperatures and pressure, allowing for the sintering process.
Graphite Molds for Exothermic Cable Welding
Molds for the exothermic welding of electrical cables are machined from graphite bars and blocks, ensuring a low-resistance electrical connection through flux-induced cable fusion.
Graphite Molds for Blown Glass
Used in the production of craftsmanship as well as in the handling of glass in general.
Non-Stick Paints and Supports for Metalizing Processes (PVD)
Non-stick on autoclave surfaces and/or physical vapor deposition (PVD) metal vapor processes.
Lubricating Paints
Graphite lubricating paints facilitate the application to lubricate all kinds of components with a surface layer that is self-lubricating and resistant, without contaminating the environment.
Sliding Plates
Used in the handling of float glass and general casting, allowing a stable flow over a non-stick surface.
Powders
Graphite powders are used as dry lubricants as well as additives in various industrial applications.
Plugs
We machine graphite plugs for various applications.
Pouring Channels for Foundry
We machine pouring channels for the handling of metals in foundry and for pouring processes.
