Graphite is widely used as a solid lubricant additive in the manufacture of a wide range of colloidal suspensions, greases and solid film lubricants.  Graphite’s lamellar structure provides low shear in the direction of the motion, at the same time provides resistance to high lateral loads.   Solid Graphite powder is dispersed in Oil, Water and Solvents to provide an effective barrier in metal to metal contact.  It is widely used as an additive in lubricants used in metal working processes such as Forging, Extrusion, Molding, Die Casting, Stamping etc.
