Material Notes:
Grades NX1, NX5, NX9, and NX10. The NX line makes BN accessible to users of alternate materials, such as aluminum nitride, alumina, and fused silica, who may have previously ruled out BN.NX grades are all fine hexagonal crystalline powders (95%-100% -325 mesh), and are available in a range of purities and surface areas to suit specific applications.Grade NX1 is an ultrafine grade with a submicron mean particle size, making it easy to disperse. It also has the highest surface area of the NX grades.Applications: GE Advanced Ceramics NX grades are candidates for use in a wide range of demanding applications for which BN is generally considered, including:Lubricants and release agents for high-temperature metal & glass processingRefractory coatingsBase material for hot pressed solids and metal-matrix or ceramic-metal compositesProcessing and final-product enhancement of plastics, including nucleation of solid and foamed products.Thermal management materials (adhesives, gap-fillers, encapsulants, polymer matrices, etc.) for electronics applicationsInformation provided by Momentive Performance Materials, formerly GE Advanced Ceramics.
