High quality Graphite Petroleum Coke plays an essential role in the aluminum, steel, and specialty carbon industries. It plays a crucial role in the steel making process. As a result, the demand for this product is highly sensitive to global economic trends and industry dynamics.
Graphite Petroleum Coke is subject to fluctuations in supply depending on factors such as the availability of resources. By-products of oil refinery operation are used to produce it. The crude oil used to extract it is then processed through several steps of calcination. This produces a coal-like product called anode grade coke or CPC. This is used in the aluminium and steel smelting process as well as in the production of synthetic graphite.
Contrary to natural graphite (which is a limited resource), petroleum coke may be recycled or repurposed. Also, it is considered as a more environmentally friendly and sustainable source of raw materials for producing graphite.
For these reasons, the graphite petroleum coke market is poised to continue growing as a key industrial sector. DYM Resources can source this vital raw material in the best possible quality.
As the global demand for steel and aluminium continues to grow, so does the need for an alternative to expensive natural graphite. Graphite oil coke can be a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative for industries that are critical. The graphite petroleum coke comes in various particle sizes which allows it to be tailored for specific applications.
Graphite oil coke is a main raw materials for the production of high quality metallurgical Graphite. The low content of impurities makes it an essential component for the smelting and forming process. It's an important ingredient used to make graphite electrodes, which can be used as a smelting tool for reducing energy and improving metallurgical performances.
Petroleum coke's crystalline structure provides an extremely high surface area that is ideal for electrochemical reactions. It also makes a great substrate for paints. The low amount of ash in petroleum coke allows for its use as a fuel cell and battery.
It can also be used to manufacture specialty graphite materials, such as composites and electrically conductive material. This application of graphite has numerous benefits, such as superior heat conduction and resistance to rust.
The North American graphite petroleum coke market was characterized by a steady to decreasing price trend during Q3 2024, reflecting persistent excess supply levels and weak demand from the construction industry. This led to a bearish pricing environment, accentuated by international competition and discounted prices.
