Superior Graphite's high purity graphites have lubricated its effort to be a major producer of carbon. The company's graphite and carbon products include graphite powders for the battery industry, silicon carbide for the ceramics industry, and graphites used in lubricants, coatings, and rubber compounds. Its Slip Plate products -- a line of dry film lubricants used to coat wear surfaces -- can be used on home, farm, industrial, and recreational tools and equipment. Superior Graphite has manufacturing plants in Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, and Sweden. Founded in 1917 by William Carney to supply graphite during WWI, the company is now headed by his grandson, Peter Carney.
