Suggested Use Positioning
MKN-CG-050 is supplied as a nanoscale graphite powder for industrial, laboratory and formulation assessment where a fine graphite material is needed. Final suitability must be verified for the intended formulation, processing method and operating conditions.
Safety, Handling and Storage
Store graphite nanopowder in a firmly closed container in a dry, well-ventilated environment. Avoid creating dust or aerosols, do not breathe airborne material, and keep it off the skin and out of the eyes. Provide sufficient exhaust ventilation wherever dust may be generated.
Wear appropriate gloves and safety eyewear while handling. Where a risk assessment indicates respiratory protection is needed, the SDS refers to an N95 (US) or P1 (EN 143) type particle respirator.
Transport
The current SDS classifies the material as not dangerous goods for transport under DOT, IMDG and IATA. This transport status does not remove the need for the respiratory, skin and eye precautions above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 50 nm APS mean for graphite nanopowder?
APS means average particle size. MKN-CG-050 is specified with an average particle size of 50 nm, which should not be interpreted as the complete particle-size distribution.
What is the purity of MKN-CG-050 graphite nanopowder?
MKN-CG-050 is listed at 99.5% purity in the current product specification.
What is the morphology of this graphite nanopowder?
The product specification describes MKN-CG-050 as having a hex-lamellar morphology.
How should graphite nanopowder be stored and handled?
Keep the container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid dust formation, avoid breathing airborne material, and avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Use suitable ventilation and the personal protective equipment specified in the SDS.
Is graphite nanopowder dangerous for transport?
The current SDS lists graphite as not dangerous goods under DOT, IMDG and IATA. That transport classification does not mean handling precautions can be skipped.
