Carbon graphite is a material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 5,000°F and is an excellent electric conductor. It is a crystalline form of carbon. Due to its high electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and ease of shaping, carbon graphite is widely used as a primary material for susceptors in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes.

The primary types of carbon and graphite products encompass carbon and graphite electrodes, carbon and graphite fibers, carbon and graphite powder, among others. A carbon electrode, unlike a metal, falls into the category of semi-metals, capable of conducting electricity effectively under specific conditions, rendering it suitable as a conductor in certain applications. These metals, including platinum, are known for their high cost. Carbon and graphite products find application in various industries, including logistics, chemicals, food and beverages, and others, serving industrial and aerospace purposes, as well as catering to other end-user requirements.
