Carbon Additive · Premium Grade
石墨化石油焦 · Premium low-sulphur recarburizer
Premium graphitized petroleum coke for EAF steel mills, ductile iron foundries and aluminium smelters. Fixed carbon ≥ 98.5%, sulphur ≤ 0.05%, lot-traceable COA, SGS pre-shipment inspection.
Graphitized Petroleum Coke (GPC) is petroleum-refinery coke that has been calcined at 1200–1400°C and then graphitized at 2500–3000°C to convert its amorphous carbon structure into a crystalline graphite lattice. The graphitization step drives off sulphur, reduces nitrogen, and dramatically improves carbon absorption rate in molten steel.
Global Vista supplies GPC sourced from multiple qualified Chinese graphitization plants. Our team has executed 245 confirmed shipments totalling 76,998 MT (2022–2024) to electrode manufacturers in Japan, leading metallurgical traders in Germany, foundries in Taiwan, and aluminium-grade carbon buyers in Korea and Indonesia. Every shipment is lot-traceable with full Mill Test Certificate (COA), and SGS / Bureau Veritas / Intertek pre-shipment inspection is available on request.
Compared to standard Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC), GPC delivers 90–95% absorption rate vs 75–85% for CPC, and roughly 10–50× lower sulphur content. For low-S steel grades, ductile iron and aluminium anode applications, GPC is the industry-standard choice. Read our full GPC vs CPC comparison →
* Values are guaranteed maximums/minimums. Actual values typically exceed these by 10–20%. COA delivered with every shipment.
Fine grade
Ladle injection, late-trim carbon addition, foundry inoculation carriers.
Most common: foundries
Standard grade
EAF charging, ladle additions, ductile iron casting.
Most common: EAF mills
Coarse grade
Cupola furnaces, blast furnace carbon additions.
Most common: cupola
Mixed grade
Cost-effective option when narrow sieve isn't required.
Most common: rebar / merchant bar
Custom sieve specifications available for order volumes ≥ 100 MT. We can deliver tighter sieve cuts (e.g. 1–3mm, 2–6mm) for specific process requirements at no extra cost on standard-volume orders.
Primary carbon addition for electric arc furnace operations. 90–95% absorption rate. Especially suited for low-sulphur steel grades (auto, structural, alloy).
Typical addition rate: 4–6 kg per tonne of liquid steel
Low-S GPC is essential for ductile iron — sulphur is the enemy of nodularity. Used as the primary recarburizer in induction-furnace ductile iron production.
Typical addition rate: 8–12 kg per tonne
Used as a component in pre-baked carbon anodes for primary aluminium smelters. Low ash and sulphur improve anode life and reduce SO₂ emissions.
Typical addition: 5–15% of anode mix
Selected high-purity GPC grades are used as feedstock for lithium-ion battery anode manufacturing (after further purification and shaping).
Spec: Custom grades with N < 100 ppm available
Lot-traceable analysis with every shipment: F.C., S, N, ash, V.M., moisture, density.
SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or CIQ pre-shipment inspection at port of origin.
Issued by CCPIT or local trade authority.
2–5 kg pre-shipment sample delivered to your lab for independent verification.
Tianjin · Qingdao · Shanghai (closest to producer location)
25kg PP woven bags (palletized + shrink-wrapped), or 1MT jumbo bags
FOB, CIF, CFR, DAP available. Door-to-door for established customers.
T/T 30/70 or irrevocable L/C at sight. USD / EUR / JPY settlement.
15–25 days from order confirmation to vessel sailing (stock-dependent).
Standard GPC has Fixed Carbon ≥ 98.5%. Premium grades up to F.C. ≥ 99% available on request for battery anode and high-purity applications.
Standard sizes 0.2–1mm, 1–5mm, 3–8mm and 1–8mm. Custom sieve specifications (e.g. 1–3mm, 2–6mm) available for orders ≥ 100 MT.
