NOVELTY - The graphite-containing molded body (5), which is obtained by a method in which graphite particles (6) are mixed with a solid additive to form a mixture, which comprises inorganic additive (7), a mixture consisting of an inorganic additive and an organic additive or more than 10 wt.% of an organic additive, is claimed. The obtained mixture is subsequently compressed. The additive comprises particles having an average diameter of 1-500 mu m, determined. The graphite particles are melted and sintered to a solid additive and mixture before the compression.    USE - Graphite-containing molded body useful as sealing element, bipolar plate of a fuel cell such as redox-flow-battery, heat conduction foil, mold part in construction area such as wall cladding, cover cladding or heat conductive plate, as flow conductor in lead-acid-battery of corresponding hybrid system, as film or pin in phase change material graphite storage, as cladding material, as contacting element, as electrode material for battery system, as heat distribution element, as surface heater, as material for winding graphite tubes with weldability of individual layers, as gland packing, as packaging for chemical columns, as heat storage plate or heat exchanger tube (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The graphite-containing molded body is simple.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The graphite-containing molded body (5), which is obtained by a method in which graphite particles (6) are mixed with a solid additive to form a mixture, which comprises inorganic additive (7), a mixture consisting of an inorganic additive and an organic additive or more than 10 wt.% of an organic additive, is claimed. The obtained mixture is subsequently compressed. The additive comprises particles having an average diameter of 1-500 mu m, determined in accordance with the ISO 13320 standard. The graphite particles are melted and sintered to a solid additive and mixture before the compression. Particles of expanded graphite are used as graphite particle, which is produced from natural graphite, where sieves are produced with average particle diameter of 180 mu m. The particles from expanded graphite have an apparent density of 2-10 g/l. A surface pressure of 20 MPa with helium as gas has impermeability of 10-3 mg/(s.m) measured according to DIN 13555 at room temperature, or a measured impermeability in the z-direction of 10-3 mg/(s.m2) in measuring apparatus or has an impermeability of 10-1 mg/(s.m) at -100-300 degrees C. The mixture to be compressed has 10-20 wt.% of fluoride-free polymer as inorganic additives. The inorganic additive has a melting temperature and/or glass transition temperature of 100-650 degrees C. The organic additive is used with average particle diameter of 3-10 mu m. The mixture to be compressed has inorganic additive and organic additive. The molded body has a leakage rate of 1x 10-4 mbarl/(s.m) in a surface pressure of 32 MPa at 300-600 degrees C. The density of the inorganic additive is 0.7-1.4 g/cm3 and organic additive is 1.0-1.8 g/cm3 or the density of the organic and inorganic additive is 0.7-1.8 g/cm3. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for the production of a molded body.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic representation of a graphite-containing molded body.
