What material is the core of common pencils made of?
The core of common pencils is typically made of a mixture of graphite and clay. The ratio of graphite to clay determines the hardness of the core, with more graphite leading to a softer pencil and more clay creating a harder pencil.
Is graphite non-foliated or foliated?
Graphite is a foliated metamorphic rock originating from Bituminous Coal.
Can electricity pass through Graphite?
Yes. Graphite is not a great conductor of electricity, but it does allow electric current to flow. It is sometimes called a semi-metal because it has the property of conducting like other metals, but it is much less conductive. The resistance of graphite is about a thousand times greater than the resistance of other common metals such as aluminum and copper. However poor the conductivity of graphite is, it a long way from being an insulator. Graphite conducts electricity billions of time better than most common insulators like rubber and plastic. There are very few materials that fall in this middle area of being modest conductors, so graphite has a lot of uses when it comes to allowing a modest flow of electricity.

What are graphite solvents?
Graphite solvents are chemicals used to dissolve and remove graphite-based materials such as lubricants, coatings, or stains. They help to clean and decontaminate surfaces that have been contaminated with graphite particles. Common graphite solvents include mineral spirits, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol.
