Boron Nitride
About our Boron Nitride
Boron Nitride (BN) is a heat and chemically resistant compound. Often called white graphene, BN also acts as a dry lubricant. Other properties include thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion to be used as a heat sink. Because of these properties, BN is also used in mold release applications.
Why Choose Boron Nitride?
BN’s unique hexagonal crystal structure gives it properties comparable to graphite—but without the electrical conductivity. This makes it ideal for sensitive electronic, high-temperature, or chemically aggressive environments where metal-based or carbon-based coatings may not be suitable.

Advanced Protection, Extreme Performance
When traditional lubricants fail or thermal stress breaks down other coatings, BN steps in. Known for its exceptional thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, and lubricity, BN coatings from IA Coatings offer a high-tech solution for extreme environments where precision, protection, and purity are non-negotiable.
Used in everything from satellite shielding to high-vacuum furnaces, our Boron Nitride coatings provide the kind of reliability and endurance that modern applications demand.
Whether you’re shielding against thermal flux, ensuring smooth demolding, or protecting against corrosive attack, IA Coatings delivers solutions backed by real-world results.
We understand that not all BN coatings are created equal. Our in-house team collaborates with R&D, production, and maintenance engineers to develop tailored solutions that outperform expectations.
