Hexagonal Boron Nitride Parameters

Applications & Industries:

• Lubricants and Mold Release Agents:

  • Applications: Used as a solid lubricant in high-temperature environments, anti-seize compounds, and mold release agents for die casting of metals (especially aluminum and magnesium), glass forming, and plastic injection molding. It prevents sticking and improves product surface finish.
  • Industries: Metallurgy (foundry, extrusion, casting), Glass Manufacturing, Plastics and Polymer Processing, Automotive, Aerospace.

• Thermal Management & Electronics:

  • Applications: Incorporated into thermal interface materials (TIMs) like thermal pastes, pads, and adhesives to dissipate heat from electronic components such as CPUs, LEDs, power electronics, and electric vehicle batteries. Used in heat sinks and as fillers in thermally conductive plastics and resins.
  • Industries: Electronics, Automotive (especially Electric Vehicles), LED Lighting, Semiconductor Manufacturing.

• Cosmetics:

  • Applications: Added to foundations, eyeshadows, lipsticks, and skincare products to provide a smooth, silky texture, improve spreadability, act as a mattifying agent, and offer a soft-focus effect by scattering light.
  • Industries: Cosmetics and Personal Care.

• Coatings:

  • Applications: Used in anti-corrosion coatings, protective coatings for welding and brazing (preventing weld spatter adhesion), and high-temperature protective coatings for various substrates.
  • Industries: Welding, Metallurgy, Aerospace, Industrial Equipment Manufacturing.

• High-Temperature Applications & Ceramics:

  • Applications: Used in the production of refractory products like crucibles, nozzles, and thermocouple protection sheaths due to its high melting point and resistance to molten metals. Acts as a sintering aid and an insulating material in high-temperature furnaces and equipment.
  • Industries: Metallurgy, Ceramics Manufacturing, Aerospace (e.g., rocket nozzles, heat shields), Industrial Furnaces, Glass Production.

• Fillers for Polymers and Composites:

  • Applications: Added to polymers and plastics to enhance thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and mechanical properties. Used in the production of advanced composites.
• Industries: Plastics and Polymer Engineering, Aerospace, Automotive.
