Crystallised form of carbon. Excellent for lubricating lock mechanisms. Mixed with emulsion glaze and emulsion paint it will, when brushed onto a surface, resemble a lead/metallic surface, especially if lightly abraded or polished. It can also be used as a powder with polyester resins to give an aged metallic effect. Do not use graphite powder near electrical equipment such as weighing scales, calculators and computers as it may cause short circuits.
