2. Natural Graphite

A naturally occurring graphite mineral with a black color and metallic luster. Classified into flake graphite and microcrystalline graphite based on appearance and flake size.

3. Flake Graphite

Naturally occurring crystalline graphite with a flake-like or scaly morphology. Note: Also known as crystalline graphite. It has excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lubrication, plasticity, and resistance to acids and alkalis.

4. Microcrystalline Graphite
