One of SGL Group's products, lightweight construction paneling, is a homogeneous, binder-free material made from expanded natural graphite that has a high thermal conductivity that is conductive to energy efficient HVAC systems such as radiant ceiling cooling systems.

This product provides energy savings which, in turn, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and noise levels, while improving thermal comfort, air quality, and fire resistance. It is binder free with no VOC content, and can be manufactured using recycled graphite.
