Hexagonal Boron Nitride has structure and properties similar to graphite. It is one of the most popular dry lubricants available today, due mostly to its lubricant properties and its inertness to molten metals and salts. It is often used as a mold release agent. It also improves the strength and hold ability of the present powder composites.
A -10 micron is the size of choice for most applications. However, the -5 micron is often used in hot pressed forms, epoxy mixes, or matrix applications, having a D50 of 2-3 micron. If your application is a coating application, in general, the -10 micron is most commonly used.
A -5 micron means that the majority of particles will be smaller in size than 5 micron. Thus a -10 micron material will have the majority of its particles smaller than 10 micron. A -5 micron will likely have a D50 of 2-3 micron, and the -10 micron will likely have a D50 of 4-7 micron. These powders are not graded powders, which means that the D50 will vary somewhat from lot to lot. If you have specifications of sizing which must be met, be sure to communicate that to us.
