Product Code : CE-BN-5N-BR
Boron Nitride is an advanced synthetic ceramic material available in solid and powder form. Its unique properties – from high heat capacity and outstanding thermal conductivity to easy machinability, lubricity, low dielectric constant, and superior dielectric strength – make boron nitride a truly outstanding material. In its solid form, boron nitride is often referred to as “white graphite” because it has a microstructure similar to that of graphite. However, unlike graphite, boron nitride is an excellent electrical insulator that has a higher oxidation temperature. It offers high thermal conductivity and good thermal shock resistance and can be easily machined to close tolerances in virtually any shape. After machining, it is ready for use without additional heat treating or firing operations.
We provide standard products & tailor-made products for hot-pressed boron nitride rod. Except for pure BN99 rods, we also supply BN composites with silicon carbide, calcium borate, aluminum nitride, and zirconia, to fulfill various demands of the customers.
Please contact us if you need customized services. We will contact you with the price and availability in 24 hours.
