Source of Colloidal Graphite

Hi Larry, I've only ever purchased the stuff from Kimber Allen.
Their web site as follows:-  http://www.kimberallen.8m.net/
e-mail:-  ka@kimberallen.freeserve.co.uk
Address:-

  Kimber-Allen UK Ltd.
  Broomfield Works.
  London Road.
  Swanley.
  Kent.
  BR8 8DF.
  Tel: + 44 (0) 1322 663234.
  Fax: +44 (0) 13322 668318.

They supply the product in 1-liter tins and although the liquid is
flammable I believe that they will ship it abroad.

I first encountered the material when visiting a lubricants warehouse
in London back in the early 1970's.  It was definitely made by Rocol,
who incidentally made thread cutting lubricants.  It's possible that
the company has been absorbed into a bigger conglomerate.

Hope this helps,
Paul Camps
