North America’s Premier Source for High-Grade Graphite
Sustainably mined, high-grade natural flake graphite and advanced materials for a wide range of industrial
applications.
Natural Graphite by Mesh Size, Purity, and Applications
Focus Advanced Materials offers high-purity natural flake graphite tailored across multiple mesh sizes, ensuring that each size category meets the specific requirements of advanced industries. Our partnerships allow us to purify graphite up to 99.999% (5N) purity, enabling it to meet the strict standards required for critical applications like nuclear reactors. Below is a detailed breakdown of our graphite portfolio.
COURSE FLAKE
(+50 Mesh)
Size: Larger than 300 microns
Purity: Up to 99.7% Cg
Applications:
- Expandable Graphites: For fire suppressants, retardants, and foils used in heat management.
- Ductile Iron Components: Used in automotive manufacturing for internal combustion engines.
- Fuel Cells: Gas diffusion layers for hydrogen fuel cells.
- Advanced Metallurgical Uses: High-quality graphite for metallurgical furnaces and specialty alloys.
MEDIUM FLAKE
(+80 to +100 Mesh)
Size: 150 – 300 microns
Purity: Up to 99.7% Cg
Applications:
- Synthetic Diamonds: For cutting tools, drill bits, and ballistic armor.
- Graphite Electrodes: Used in aluminum, steel, and magnesium smelting operations.
- Nuclear Applications: When purified to 99.999%, graphite becomes a critical material for nuclear reactors as a moderator and in other high-temperature applications.
FINE AND SUPERFINE FLAKE
(100 to 400 Mesh)
Size: 38 – 150 microns
Purity: Up to 99..7% Cg
Applications:
- Battery Materials: Anode material for lithium-ion, lead-acid, and metal-air batteries, as well as supercapacitors.
- Stealth and Conductive Coatings: Graphite-based coatings for radar signature suppression and icephobic surfaces.
- Recycled and Hybrid Graphite Solutions: Integration with recycled graphite from spent li-ion batteries, creating sustainable graphite solutions ideal for OEMs like Tesla.
- Anti-Corrosion Coatings: Used in critical infrastructure for enhanced durability
ULTRAFINE FLAKE
(Sub 400 Mesh)
Size: Less than 38 microns
Purity: Up to 99.7% Cg
Applications:
- Synthetic Diamond Precursors: High-purity graphite for gemstone manufacturing and semiconductor tools.
- Icephobic and Conductive Coatings: Applied in aviation and infrastructure to prevent ice formation and ensure conductivity.
- Li-Ion Batteries: Key material for spherical graphite, enhancing battery performance in electric vehicles (EVs).

Partnerships, Grants & Collaborations
“Focus Advanced Materials is actively pursuing grants and ITBs to support innovation in our product lines and applications.
Natural flake graphite outperforms synthetic graphite in thermal conductivity, extreme temperature resistance, and environmental impact, making it the clear choice for manufacturers as synthetic phases out in North America.
Focus Graphite is developing two of the highest quality graphite projects in the world.
They are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, a top-rated mining jurisdiction where government has invested in infrastructure such as roads and low-cost hydroelectricity that make remote mine sites easier and cheaper to access and operate.
More than two-thirds of the battery-grade graphite available today comes from China, and there are no graphite mines at all currently in operation in the United States. North America needs a secure source of large-flake graphite – and Focus Graphite plans to be that source.
