Flake graphite is a naturally occurring mineral form of graphite characterized by its flake-like crystalline structure. When mined, flake graphite separates into thin, flat, and flexible crystalline plates that are then processed for industrial uses. Flake graphite particles tend to be larger in size than other graphite types, with flat, plate-like shapes ideal for certain commercial applications.

Graphite forms deep within the earth over millions of years from carbon-rich metamorphic rock subjected to heat and pressure. The unique crystalline structure of Flake Graphite develops during cooling, allowing the carbon layers to separate into thin, durable plates or flakes. Some of the world's largest historic and active flake graphite mining operations are located in China, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, and Madagascar where favourable geologic conditions have resulted in significant natural deposits.
