It's not only a product, it’s a philosophy

The name FormulaBT™ encompasses carbon and graphitic powders developed and manufactured by Superior Graphite primarily for use in the electrical energy marketplace. FormulaBT takes advantage of the unique continuous thermopurification treatment patented by Superior Graphite. This electro-thermal process exposes the raw materials, such as natural flake or vein graphite, synthetic graphite and various coke products to temperatures up to 2800ºC so that the volatiles, gases and impurities are vaporized.

A variety of milling and classification processes coupled with mechanical and chemical treatments complete the competencies of Superior Graphite. This know-how and capability is focused to provide the market with consistently high performance products.

Our Materials Management Department assures not only the optimal supply of raw materials but also evaluates, in unison with development and production, new sources and suppliers on a worldwide basis.
