Abstract
Graphite has a lubricating property resulting from its laminar structure in two planes, basal and edge plane. The basal plane is hydrophobic. The use of graphite or carbon treated at high temperature in a composite or coating (paint) whereof the privileged orientation of particles is basal enables to cause the coating to be water-repellent. Said property enables to prevent or reduce ice accumulation as well as corrosion on electrical installations.
