Flexible Graphite Sheet

Slade starts with special patented yarns. The yarns are reinforced with flattened strips of stainless steel and totally encapsulated in flexible graphite (fig. 1). We “weave” these yarns into sheets 80” wide (lengths: 80”, 160” and higher). The woven design produces a ‘metallic leaf-spring effect’ (fig. 2), developed to deform easily to fill voids, scratches and warped surfaces. Once compressed, they form a tough but resilient graphite sheet. The sheet cuts easily despite their toughness.
