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.NX5 has a mean particle size of approximately 5 microns. It contains slightly higher oxygen levels than typical BN 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.
