BN9000
A medium density version of hBN, BN9000 utilizes unique near-net shape forming and pressure-less sintering technology allowing sizes up to 490mm x 310mm x 50mm. The large size capability makes it an excellent choice for furnace setters requiring all the benefits of hBN.
Applications: Insulators, Semiconductor equipment, Jigs for molding glass, Nozzles and crucibles, Paving plates
BNP
The BNP portfolio of materials is a family of hexagonal boron nitride composites that combine the properties of hBN with the desired properties of the specific ceramic additive to produce a hybrid material that maintains the advantage of easy machinability.
BNP-2
For applications requiring high thermal conductivity, BNP-2 offers the benefits of an aluminum nitride in a composite with boron nitride. BNP-2 offers excellent mechanical strength while still maintaining the ease of machinability and is useful for a broad range of applications.
Combining boron nitride with zirconia and silicon carbide give BNP-3 outstanding performance in molten metal applications. The non-wetting, wear resistant, and high strength properties of BNP-3 make this idea for break rings and atomizer nozzles.
Applications: molten metal side dams, continuous casting break rings, refractories, crucibles, atomizing nozzles
BNP-6
Excellent electrical properties combined with resistance to moisture and thermal shock are primary benefits of the BNP-6 composite of boron nitride and silica. BNP-6 has superior mechanical strength and is easily machinable for applications including Hall Effect Thrusters and refractory applications requiring corrosion resistance.
Applications: aerospace / satellite thrusters, plasma, extreme environments, PVD: constraint of plasma arcs, extreme corrosion and wear resistance
Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN)
PBN is an ultra-high purity boron nitride solid grown using a CVD process. PBN is suitable for the most demanding applications requiring high-temperature and high-purity.
PBN
Unique in its structure and ultra-high purity, Pyrolitic BN (PBN) is a grade of boron nitride grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition. PBN can be machined from flat plate stock up to 3mm thick or produced in custom shapes such as crucibles for semiconductor and crystal growth applications.
