Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If printing ink formulation
Slurry-like materials for electrode printing may classify as inks if used in graphic arts applications.
If high binder content
Excessive polymer/solvent content shifts from graphite preparation to general chemical mixtures.
If light petroleum distillate solvent base
Solvent-dominant slurries with minor graphite classify under petroleum products.
