Graphite foil is an excellent sealing material for the high temperature, high-pressure transfer of liquids, gases, steam, chemicals, and corrosives. The material is often used as a lining for crucibles and casting molds, as external cladding for hot-press molds, and as protective strips for welding, soldering and sintering work. It is a useful material for casting gaskets in the automotive, petroleum and chemical, paper, and nuclear industries and is used in the fuel cell industry for bipolar plates.
