• Graphite is a mineral with unique thermal, chemical,

and electrical properties.

• Derived from carbon, it is biocompatible.

• Has been designated a critical mineral by the United

States due to its supply chain vulnerability and its

importance to national security.

• All the products shown require some form of

refined/purified form of graphite.
