Expandable Graphite Produced in Thailand
About Expandable Graphite in Thailand
To strengthen the stability and resilience of our expandable graphite supply chain, we have established a new production facility in Thailand, which commenced operations in 2026.
Demand for expandable graphite has continued to grow in recent years, particularly for flame-retardant and construction material applications. At the same time, **Graphite sheets** for thermal management applications have become increasingly important in the electronics industry.
Meanwhile, export controls and supply constraints in China have raised concerns about the long-term stability of graphite procurement and supply.
In response to these market developments, we have established a manufacturing system for Expandable Graphite in Thailand, enabling us to provide the following benefits to our customers:
Key Features
1. Reliable and Diversified Supply Chain
By securing a diversified supply source outside China, we provide a stable and reliable supply of expandable graphite across a wide range of field, from flame-retardant construction materials to electronic materials.
2. High-Quality Expandable Graphite Production
Through precise control of expansion volume, onset expansion temperature, and formability, we provide expandable graphite products optimized to meet each performance requirements of each application.
3. Japanese Quality Standards with Global Manufacturing
Supported by Japanese quality management standards, we ensure consistent product quality while providing a reliable supply platform for customers worldwide.
4. Application-Specific Customization
Tailored to customer specifications, supporting applications from flame-retardant construction materials to graphite sheets for thermal management.
Technical Capabilities
・Expansion Volume
Expansion volume can be tailored to meet each application requirements, ranging from high-expansion grades to controlled-expansion grades.
Applications;
Flame-retardant materials,
Sealing materials,
Thermal insulation materials
・Onset Expansion Temperature
Onset expansion temperature can be customized from low-temperature onset grades to high-temperature stable grades.
Applications;
Building materials with optimized early-stage intumescence
・Optimized Formability
Particle size and expansion characteristics can be optimized for excellent formability in roll-press processing.
Applications;
Graphite sheets (Heat Dissipation Sheets)
・High Purity / Low Oxidation Loss
High-purity graphite with optimized expansion characteristics minimizes oxidation loss in high-temperature environments, helping extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements.
Applications;
High-temperature and high-pressure valves,
Steam turbines, Nuclear power equipment
Main Applications
Flame-retardant building materials（Fire protection materials,Sealants,Thermal insulation materials）
Construction materials（Non-combustible building materials,Fillers）
Thermal management sheets（Graphite sheets,Thermal Management Materials for electronic devices）
