Carbon is a particularly versatile element which is capable of establishing different types of chemical bonds – both with itself and other elements. For this reason, carbon is classed as allotropic, meaning it’s found in nature in different forms (anthracite, diamond, graphite).
Veneta Mineraria transforms and markets anthracite and graphite for multiple industrial applications. In glass production they’re employed as reducing agents. In the brake and drilling sectors they help regulate friction. They’re also used as reinforcing agents for polymers, and when used in foundry paints they are valued for their refractory properties.
