Flexible graphite sheet is made by compressing a mixture of relatively large particles of intercalated, exfoliated, expanded natural graphite with smaller particles of intercalated, exfoliated expanded, expanded particles of natural graphite. The resulting sheet of flexible graphite exhibits increased electrical conductivity through the thickness ("c" direction) of the sheet and improved sealability perpendicular to the "c" direction.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. Flexible graphite sheet formed by compressing a blended mixture of relatively large particles of intercalated, exfoliated, expanded natural graphite at least 80% by weight sized 20.times.50 mesh prior to exfoliation and expansion with smaller particles of intercalated, exfoliated, expanded particles of natural graphite at least 80% by weight sized 50.times.100 mesh prior to exfoliation and expansion, the smaller particles being present in the amount of 25 to 75% by weight, characterized by having increased electrical conductivity through the thickness of the sheet as compared to a flexible graphite sheet formed only from relatively large particles of intercalated, exfoliated, expanded natural graphite.
