Vein Graphite
Nature's Purest Carbon

The chemical formula for graphite is simply:

C

However, Sri Lankan vein graphite is distinguished by its exceptionally high carbon content:

Typical purity: 95-99.9% carbon

• Unparalleled Purity: Naturally occurring at 90-99.9% carbon content
• High Crystallinity: Near-perfect crystalline structure
• Low Ash Content: Typically less than 1%
• Excellent Electrical Conductivity: Superior to other forms of natural graphite
• High Thermal Conductivity: Ideal for heat management applications
• Chemical Inertness: Resistant to most acids and alkalis
• High Sublimation Point: Approximately 3,850°C (7,000°F)

• Color: Steel gray to black with a metallic luster
• Hardness: 1-2 on the Mohs scale
• Density: 2.25-2.26 g/cm³
• Crystal System: Hexagonal
• Cleavage: Perfect in one direction
• Specific Surface Area: Generally lower than flake graphite
