Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) is a versatile industrial material renowned for its lubricating, insulating, and heat-resistant properties. Its hexagonal crystal lattice structure allows for easy sliding between layers, providing exceptional lubrication even under extreme temperature conditions. Unlike traditional lubricants, h-BN does not evaporate, oxidize, or degrade at high temperatures, making it ideal for use in aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery applications.

In the electronics sector, h-BN serves as a thermal interface material, enhancing heat dissipation while maintaining electrical insulation. It is used in electronic packaging, semiconductors, and LED devices to improve performance and prevent overheating. The material’s chemical inertness ensures longevity and reliability in harsh operating conditions.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride is also widely used in metalworking and ceramic industries as a coating for molds, crucibles, and extrusion processes, preventing sticking and reducing wear. In the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, h-BN is used as an additive in powders, creams, and coatings due to its non-toxic and skin-friendly nature.

The growing demand for energy-efficient and high-performance electronics has boosted h-BN consumption, particularly as a filler in polymer composites and thermal management materials. Its combination of high thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and electrical insulation properties positions it as a critical material for next-generation devices and industrial processes.
