Superior Graphite

ISO 9001 Certified ThermoPURE Graphites are purified at controlled temperatures in excess of 2300°(4172°F.) This insures the consistent delivery of market-leading graphites with the highest purity and lowest ash possible. Using these high quality graphites improves friction material quality, reduces manufacturing defects, and lengthens pad and rotor life. When unparalleled performance is demanded, ThermoPURE exceeds the need.

Superior also offers a wide range of natural and non-purified synthetic graphites especially designed for friction applications under the Signature® name. Graphites only earn the Signature name after Superior rigorously evaluates processes and classifies them for specific customer requirements.

The Signature family of natural graphites includes crystalline flake, crystalline vein and amorphous graphites which are sourced from selected, qualified mines worldwide, along with synthetic graphites produced at Superior's Arkansas Facility. Once at one of Superior's North American Facilities these materials are inspected, processed, graded and packaged according to the customer specifications. With a dedication to research and development, rolling production schedules and continuous quality improvement, Superior provides customers with a reliable and consistent carbon source they can depend on.

In advance of customer use, Superior confirms the performance of Signature Graphites in individual customer applications through laboratory and on-site testing. As an ISO 9001 certified company, Superior's manufacturing is directed by Superior's quality program AIMS— Adaptive Integrated Management Systems. AIMS is a fully integrated team-based manufacturing, quality assurance and safety program which guides the production of all Signature Products. These processes and systems provide greater customer confidence through superior product quality.

As the new millennium approaches, Superior will continue to look for new raw materials worldwide, develop new process and purification processes, and improve the quality and consistency of its graphite materials. Through a dedicated sales force, highly qualified technical staff, and a production staff dedicated to producing the highest quality materials every time, Superior looks forward to working with customers directly to meet their individual needs.
