Thailand-made expanded graphite outside China feedstock-to-product
Expandable graphite grades from a Thailand plant the company says was completed in 2026, described as China-risk-free from raw material through finished product.
AI-assisted directory summary. Technical specifications, performance metrics, readiness and compliance labels are unverified unless individually supported and reviewed. Proposed partnership routes do not establish supplier consent, export eligibility, or willingness to sign an NDA. Confirm claims and test conditions with the linked sources and supplier before procurement or citation.
Problem solved
Chinese export controls and supply limits on expandable graphite disrupt flame-retardant building products and graphite heat-spreader sheet; a second Asian source with Japanese specification control is needed.
Application contexts
- Flame-retardant building materials and seals
- Graphite heat-spreader sheet for electronics
- High-temperature valve and turbine packing (listed as a spec theme)
Technical principle
The company states a Thai production plant completed in 2026 makes expandable graphite with adjustable expansion volume and onset temperature, including roll-press formability for graphite sheet. MFG-50SP is listed at ≥99.9% FC, 200 cc/g expansion, onset 150–300 °C.
Typical use cases
- China+1 expandable graphite for intumescent fire seals
- Roll-pressed graphite sheet feedstock
Partnership route
How global engineering teams typically engage this asset.
Helpful to include: required expansion volume and onset temperature · whether nuclear or steam-turbine packing is in scope · current Thailand plant allocation · destination market (Japan / Asia / Europe)
