Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN)

Hexagonal boron nitride is one of the most commonly used forms of boron nitride. This form is known for its versatility and wide range of applications.

The material is also known for its lubricating properties that make it an ideal addition to plastics, rubbers, alloys and resins for bearings, pinions and gearing. It also has high thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity that makes it a good choice for electronics, microwave transparent windows and structural materials.

BN Powder is available in different grades and is easily machined to desired shapes and sizes with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. It is resistant to molten metals, slags, glass and has outstanding electrical insulation even at high temperatures.

Amorphous boron nitride (A-BN) is another typical form of this material. Amorphous boron nitride is typically characterized by a high luster and low porosity. It is often incorporated into ceramics, coatings and refractories for a variety of applications.

Cubic Boron Nitride (c-BN) is the crystalline phase of this material that has similar properties to diamond. It is usually derived by heating hexagonal boron nitride under high pressure and temperature.

Boron nitride is a common multi-functional additive that improves the texture, color and shine of cosmetic products. It is found in a wide range of makeup products including mineral powder, foundation, blush, bronzer, lipstick and sunscreen. It can blur imperfections, enhance skin's moisture, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and act as a mattifying agent in foundations and powders.
