Why Flake Graphite?Graphite can carry 1000x the density of electrical current of copper wire Its thermal conductivity is 10x faster than copper The semiconductor industry, led by IBM and Intel, view graphite to be a leading candidate to replace semiconductors in capacitors/transistors because:
It is extremely resistant to strong acids and corrosion It is non-toxic and chemically inert, hence ideal for life-saving medical devices needed for the human body In its graphene form it is made to be 200 times stronger than steel |
Welcome to Norwegian GraphiteNorwegian Graphite AS is a privately-owned technology development and natural resource company, focused both on the development of commercial applications of graphene and on the exploration and development of a portfolio of unique quality flake graphite properties in Norway. Norwegian Graphite is committed to responsible and long-term sustainable operations and will at all times use the best practices possible for extraction, milling, product production and tailings conversion, re-use and back-filling. This will include the use of renewable energy sources and conservation wherever possible; the most effective forms of water treatment; and sustainable practices that take all steps to retain and restore the natural environments. A world-class team of geologists, R&D professionals, and industrial minerals mining specialists is driving all of the Company’s processes and plans. The Company is keenly aware of the importance of effective planning, marketing and teamwork in today’s hyper-competitive global marketplace and is confident that it will consistently execute a winning strategy that will exceed the expectations of its customers and all stakeholders of the Company.
