Boron Nitride Platelet Powder Descriptions
Boron Nitride Platelet Powder consists of high-purity hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) crystals shaped as thin, flat plates or flakes. This unique platelet morphology provides anisotropic thermal conductivity—efficient heat spreading along the plane of each platelet—while maintaining excellent electrical insulation. The powder is inherently lubricious, chemically stable at high temperatures (up to ~850°C in air), and resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It is widely used as a thermally conductive filler for polymers, greases, and thermal interface materials, as well as in release coatings, ceramic composites, and specialty cosmetic products requiring smooth texture and adherence.

Boron Nitride Platelet Powder Advantages
- High Thermal Conductivity – Exhibits excellent in-plane thermal conductivity, effectively dissipating heat for thermal management materials (e.g., thermal pads, greases).
- Excellent Electrical Insulation – High volume resistivity and dielectric strength, suitable for insulating layers in high-voltage or high-frequency electronic devices.
- Low Dielectric Constant & Low Dielectric Loss – Maintains stable dielectric performance in microwave and millimeter-wave bands, making it an ideal filler for 5G/6G communication substrates and antenna materials.
- Lubricity & Release Properties – The graphite-like layered structure provides natural lubrication, reducing friction coefficient and serving as a high-temperature release agent.
- High-Temperature Stability – Withstands up to ~900°C in air and over 2000°C in inert atmospheres, with low thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal shock resistance.
- Chemical Inertness – Resists most acids, bases, molten metals, and salts, making it suitable for corrosive environments or as a protective coating filler.
- Platelet Morphology for Reinforcement – The platelet shape improves gas barrier properties and mechanical anisotropy of composites while reducing micro-crack propagation in the matrix.
- Low Density – Reduces overall composite weight compared to metal or ceramic fillers, supporting lightweight design.
- Easy Processing & Dispersibility – Can be dispersed in polymers or solvents via ultrasonication or ball milling, facilitating the production of films, coatings, or injection-molded parts.
- Biocompatibility – Non-toxic and non-cytotoxic, suitable for biomedical composites or medical device coatings.
Boron Nitride Platelet Powder Applications
- Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) – Used as a thermally conductive but electrically insulating filler in thermal pads, pastes, greases, and gap fillers for electronics cooling.
- 5G/6G High-Frequency Substrates – Ideal for low-dielectric-loss antenna substrates, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and RF components due to its stable dielectric properties at high frequencies.
- High-Temperature Release Coatings – Applied as a non-stick, lubricious coating for molds, conveyor belts, and processing equipment in metal, glass, and polymer manufacturing.
- High-Temperature Lubricants – Used in dry powder form or as an additive to greases and oils for lubricating components operating under extreme temperatures (e.g., bearings, gears, fasteners).
- Advanced Polymer Composites – Incorporated into thermoplastics and thermosets to enhance thermal conductivity, wear resistance, and dimensional stability while maintaining electrical insulation.
- Ceramic & Metal Matrix Composites – Added to improve thermal shock resistance, machinability, and lubricity of ceramic or metal parts (e.g., cutting tools, nozzles, crucibles).
- Encapsulation & Potting Compounds – Used in electronic encapsulation to dissipate heat from sensitive components without creating electrical short circuits.
- Cosmetic & Personal Care Products – Acts as a soft-focus, oil-absorbing powder with a silky feel in products like pressed powders, foundations, and sunscreens.
Boron Nitride Platelet Powder Packaging
The Boron Nitride Modified Platelet Powder is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional support from soft materials to prevent any shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
