RE: 1 fact Up until now they produced synthetic because it had better properties than 99% of the graphite found until now.... except for the vien graphite in Sri Lanka.... They needed purity... now they will have a natural graphite that will give them the purity they require at a lower production cost than that of synthetic graphite.. The graphite from Zen is not used to produce synthetic.... it will compete with synthetic.... How come this is so hard for most people to understand...
