Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about BrakeCond™ Expanded Graphite Powders.

Expanded graphite is produced by treating natural flake graphite with acids and then rapidly heating it, causing the graphite layers to separate and expand. This creates a worm-like structure with extremely high surface area, significantly enhancing properties like thermal conductivity, lubricity, and compressibility compared to natural graphite.

BrakeCond™ is available in a range of controlled particle sizes to suit different application requirements. Our technical team can help select the optimal particle size distribution for your specific needs, whether for friction materials, thermal management, or composite applications.

In brake pads, BrakeCond™ helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing brake fade and maintaining consistent performance under high-temperature conditions. Its self-lubricating properties also help reduce wear and extend pad life while maintaining the necessary friction coefficients for safe braking.

Yes, BrakeCond™ expanded graphite is stable at high temperatures and maintains its properties in demanding thermal environments. It can withstand temperatures up to 450°C in oxidizing atmospheres and even higher in inert or reducing environments, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.

BrakeCond™ is compatible with a wide range of polymer matrices including thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. Its surface can also be modified for improved compatibility with specific polymer systems. Our technical team can provide guidance on optimal loading levels and processing conditions for different polymer types.
