Boron Nitride Powder Market to Make Great Impact In Near Future by 2025
Boron nitride is a refractory compound of nitrogen and boron. It occurs in numerous crystalline forms. The electronic structure or number of electrons of these forms is similar to that of carbon lattice. Boron nitride is non-toxic and a bad conductor of heat and electricity. It is an excellent substitute for lubricants (such as organic waxes and oils, molybdenum disulfide, and graphite) in metal processing. In a number of cases, boron nitride significantly improves the effectiveness of these applications. The hexagonal form of boron nitride, which is similar to graphite, is the most stable and soft among boron nitride polymorphs. It is used as an additive in cosmetic products. It is also used as a lubricant.

The cubic form of boron nitride, similar to diamond, is called c-boron nitride. It is softer than diamond; however, its thermal and chemical stability is far superior to that of diamond. Wurtzite boron nitride is rare and similar to lonsdaleite (hexagonal diamond). It is even harder than the cubic form of boron nitride. Boron nitride ceramics are usually used as parts of high-temperature equipment owing to their excellent chemical and thermal stability. Boron nitride also has potential use in nanotechnology. Nanotubes made of boron nitride have a structure similar to that of carbon nanotubes; however, the properties are different.
The hexagonal form of boron nitride powder offers superior thermal conductivity and dielectric strength when used as filler in polymers that are employed in electronics applications. Benefits of the intrinsic properties of boron nitride, such as corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, high temperature resistance, and high oxidation resistance, is anticipated to augment the demand for boron nitride in metal processing applications. Furthermore, rise in demand for boron nitride as an insulator in high-temperature furnaces is expected to boost the boron nitride market in the near future. The notable hardness of boron nitride makes it an ideal material for the manufacture of insulators, which are used in high-temperature furnaces. Furthermore, it can be hot pressed to create the preferred shape of the insulator with properties such as thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, low dielectric constant, and high electrical resistance.
