Coal chemicals have an extremely high carbon content, and their molecular structure makes them ideal materials to be transformed into pure carbon and graphite. This is particularly useful in applications where metals cannot meet the high-temperature or chemical-resistance requirements. In these specific conditions, carbon will resist.

Many compounds containing pure carbon can be found in high-tech applications: high-temperature smelting, carbon-reinforced disc brakes, electrodes in Li-ion batteries, and brushes for electric motors. Its resistance properties add value to high-tech applications and green technologies, supporting the transition towards environmentally friendly transportation.
