"Weapon" against the US: New Technology will provide China with cheap "precious" material

99% is excellent self -lubrication, electrical conductivity, corrosion stability, stability at high temperatures and exceptional chemical stability. It is widely used in areas such as nuclear power, semiconductors and aerospace industry. "Our new developed equipment has successfully cleared graphite powder of 99. 93% to more than 99. 99995%. This cleanliness is close to the theoretical border," - said CETC CEO Yuntsyan.

According to CETC, in addition to a significant increase in cleanliness, new technology also reduces the cost of high graphite by 60%. The company claims that this process is already scale for mass production. According to the edition, China is the world's largest manufacturer and exporter of graphite.

The emergence of new equipment is expected to strengthen the world leadership of the PRC in the production of material, which is considered "the most important weapon in the high -tech war with the West. " The publication emphasized that since December 1, high -clean graphite material is listed in the China's export control list.

This step is regarded as the US and the EU counterpart, which have introduced a number of trade restrictions for China, especially in the sectors of electric vehicles and semiconductors. "China has the highest and highest quality reserves of natural scaly graphite in the world. Like rare earth elements, graphite is a precious and non -renewable resource, it cannot be sold at low prices immediately after rough processing," said San Zin, head of the China's carbon industry association.

San Qin noted that graphite materials of high purity, strength and density are widely used in the military and aerospace industry. In his opinion, restrictions on graphite export may be against the spread of sensitive technologies related to the use of nuclear weapons.
