CXTX graphite is an economical material used for larger parts in the glass handling process.

Average particle size of less than 5 microns provides moderate strength
Better wear resistance than traditional materials, decreases downtime due to replacements or breakage

Our graphite grades are available as semi-finished rods, blocks, plates, and fully machined parts.
