3 Alabama was a world force in Graphite production with more than 100M pounds produced during this period 43 Major mines and 30 processing plants in Era All this graphite was contained in a rich belt (Schist) in eastcentral Alabama in Clay, Coosa and Chilton Counties Majority of total US production occurred here in Era Mining ceased in 1953 due to lack of demand and foreign competition 24 October

4 High Purity Carbon Polymorph Excellent Conductivity Highest Natural Strength & Stiffness (Tensile) of any Material Tensile Strength Maintenance in Extreme Conditions Thermal and Chemical Resistant Very Lightweight Reinforcing Agent Natural Lubricity 24 October
