SGL Sigraflex BSSC® flexible graphite is manufactured from mineral graphite (expandable flake graphite), and is commonly referred to as flexible graphite foil. As its name indicates, flexible graphite is flexible. Because it compressible and conformable it is an ideal material for gasketing and fluid sealing applications. It has excellent chemical resistance and works well to temperatures to 900ᴼ F, (4000ᴼ F in reducing atmosphere). It can also be used in many other applications including EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding & gasketing, heat dissipation, lubrication, stress sensing, vibration damping, and other thermal or electronic or electrochemical applications.
