Oxidation resistant graphite grades
The Phosphated graphite's detailed below, contain alminium or zinc phosphate impregnations, to inhibit oxidation of the graphite. This phosphate may leach out in humid or wet conditions. ORG300 is specially processed to reduce this leaching effect.

Boronised graphite contains no impregnations and will therefore exhibit no leaching effect in humid or wet conditions. It contains 10% boron by mass, the boron being part of the structure of the material.
