What is Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) Powder?

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) Powder is a high-performance advanced ceramic material widely recognised for its exceptional thermal stability, low friction, chemical inertness, and excellent electrical insulation. Often referred to as “White Graphite,” hBN has a unique layered crystal structure that delivers outstanding lubricating properties without electrical conductivity. It performs reliably under extreme temperatures and harsh industrial environments, making it an ideal material for high-temperature lubrication, thermal management, mould release, coatings, and advanced engineering applications.

Jade Chemicals supplies premium-quality Hexagonal Boron Nitride Powder in multiple particle sizes and purity grades to meet the requirements of industries such as metal processing, foundries, glass manufacturing, ceramics, electronics, thermal interface materials, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing. Our hBN powder is engineered to improve process efficiency, extend equipment life, and deliver consistent performance in demanding applications.

Properties

High Thermal Stability

Maintains exceptional structural and chemical stability at temperatures up to 1000°C in air, 1400°C in vacuum, and 1800°C in inert atmospheres.

Excellent Thermal Conductivity

Efficiently transfers heat while maintaining electrical insulation, making it ideal for thermal management applications.

Electrical Insulation

Provides outstanding dielectric strength and electrical insulation even at elevated temperatures.

Low Coefficient of Friction

Its layered crystal structure delivers excellent dry lubrication, reducing friction and wear between contacting surfaces.

Chemical Inertness
