Why MSDS Matters for Graphitized Petroleum Coke (GPC)
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS) are critical for global procurement of graphitized petroleum coke (GPC), a premium carbon additive used in steelmaking and foundries. As a non-hazardous industrial material, GPC’s MSDS provides compliance documentation for REACH, OSHA, and international shipping regulations.
Key Safety Attributes in GPC MSDS
Based on industrial production standards:
- Chemical Composition
- Fixed carbon: ≥98.5%
- Sulfur content: ≤0.05% (ultra-low due to 2500-3000°C graphitization)
- Nitrogen: ≤300 ppm
- Moisture: ≤0.5% (optimized for metallurgical efficiency)
- Physical Properties
- Appearance: Black granular solid with metallic luster
- Density: 1.5-1.8 g/cm³ (enhanced absorption in molten metal)
- Particle sizes: 0.2-10mm (customizable for EAF/LD converter needs)
- Handling & Storage
- Dust control: Recommend NIOSH-approved N95 respirators during bulk handling
- Fire safety: Non-flammable under standard conditions (auto-ignition >400°C)
- Spill management: Use dry sweeping methods; avoid water to prevent dust dispersion
MSDS-Driven Value in GPC Supply Chains
- Customs Clearance
- HS code alignment: 3801.10 (carbonaceous pastes/electrodes)
- IMDG certification: UN No. not required for properly graphitized grades
- Sustainability Compliance
- RoHS/REACH: No SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) identified
- Carbon footprint: 0.12 tCO2e/ton GPC (verified by ISO 14064-3)
- Technical Advantages
- Reduces slag formation in steelmaking (vs. non-graphitized carburizers)
- 92-96% carbon absorption rate (validated in 50T+ EAF trials)
