Features of TEG
- Feature
Thermally expandable graphite (TEG) expands when exposed to heat and is used in many different products, areas and industries because of its excellent flame retardancy, sealability, processability, and other features.
retardancy
TEG is excellently flame retardant as it thermally expands to form a carbon wall that can block a flame.
Sealability
Because of its excellent sealability, TEG can prevent liquids and gases from leaking out and prevent foreign substances from entering inside.
Processability
TEG is flexible, lightweight and very processable. For example, it can easily be cut.
Other features of TEG
Thermal resistance
An experiment showed that TEG can be heated up to between 800 and 1000 °C.
Chemical resistance
"TEG is very durable and resistant to different chemicals."
Heat dissipation
It excels in dissipating heat to the outside.
Safety
TEG is excellently safe for the human body.
Features of the crystalline structure of TEG
Structurally, TEG is hexagonal tabular crystals of carbon with many carbon layers.
TEG is characteristically easy to peel as the carbon layers are connected by a weak electrical force (van der Waals force), not by strong chemical bonding.
