Valued for its strength, Steel is the material of choice for many sectors like manufacturing, construction, transportation and consumer goods. With its high strength-to-weight capability and high-temperature resistance, Graphite is used as a protective agent for steel ingots and to line the metallurgical furnace. Graphite electrodes are also used to refine steel during the smelting process.
Coal Tar Pitch is a key constituent of graphite electrode and aids to electrode performance. Binder-grade coal tar pitch is used in the initial process of making electrodes, while Impregnated Pitch increases it density, strength, durability, and conductivity. Epsilon Carbon’s backward-integrated coal tar pitch facility in the integrated Carbon Black complex give us a unique edge in supplying critical raw material to the Graphite industry.
