Significant progress has been made in the application of expandable graphite in the wire and cable industry
Expandable graphite is a graphite material obtained by chemical treatment and high-temperature expansion of flake graphite. When heated, its volume can rapidly expand, with a maximum expansion factor of 100-350 times, forming an insulation layer or insulation layer, which has good flame retardant and insulation effects.This material has excellent characteristics such as lightweight, good conductivity and thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, good resilience, lubrication, plasticity, nontoxicity, and chemical stability. It is, therefore, known as the "king of sealing" in the world. In the sealing industry, it can be used to make flame-retardant sealing materials, such as flexible graphite coils, sheets, graphite composite sheets, gaskets, etc. In the field of flame retardancy and fire prevention, it can be used for fireproof sealing strips, fireproof sealing in the construction field, fireproof boards, fireproof paper, as well as flame retardant plastics and flame retardant anti-static coatings. In addition, expandable graphite can also be used as a high-energy battery material and an adsorption material in the field of environmental protection. It is also one of the main raw materials for anti-oxygen insulation and heating agents in the steel industry. It can be used as insulation and sound insulation materials, fire safety materials, shielding materials, etc.

Recently, with the continuous improvement of material performance requirements in the wire and cable industry, the application of expandable graphite as an efficient flame retardant material has made significant progress in this field.
Due to its unique flame retardant and thermal insulation properties, expandable graphite provides strong protection for the safety performance of wires and cables. Adding an appropriate amount of expandable graphite in the manufacturing process of wires and cables can effectively improve the flame retardant level of the product and reduce the risk of fire. Meanwhile, the excellent thermal insulation performance of expandable graphite also helps to reduce the heat generated by wires and cables during operation, thereby improving the service life of the product.
According to industry experts, expandable graphite has been widely used in the wire and cable industry. Whether it is the backbone cable used for power transmission or the thin wire used for communication networks, the figure of expandable graphite can be seen. In addition, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, smart homes, and other fields, the requirements for the flame-retardant performance of wires and cables are also increasing, and the application prospects of expandable graphite will be even broader.
Application of expandable graphite in the wire and cable industry
Industry insiders say that in the future, with the continuous improvement of material performance requirements in the wire and cable industry and the continuous exploration of new application areas, expandable graphite is expected to play a more important role in the wire and cable industry. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen technological research and industrial upgrading, and promote the wider application of expandable graphite in the wire and cable industry.
