Combat® Boron Nitride is a hot pressed hexagonal Boron Nitride. This material exhibits a unique combination of chemical, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, making it suitable for a wide range of high-performance industrial applications. Boron Nitride is an advanced synthetic ceramic material provides unique properties such as from high heat capacity and outstanding thermal conductivity combined with easy machinability and superior dielectric strength. Boron Nitride can easily be machined to close tolerances in virtually any shape. After machining, it is ready for use without additional heat treating or firing operations. In inert and reducing atmospheres, Boron Nitride will withstand temperatures over 2,000°C. It is not wet by most molten metals and slags and can therefore be used as a container for most molten metals including aluminium, cryolite, sodium, iron, steel, silicon, boron, tin germanium and copper. Combat’s characteristics depend of the type and amount of binder, overall composition and the type of bond between layers. Backed with industry leading technical support, Combat® is provided by Professional Plastics with a full spectrum of solutions in machinable blanks, as well as, custom finished parts. Combat® Silicon Nitride comes in five standard grades: Combat® AX05 does not use any binder and is self-bonded, offering the highest purity for high-temperature applications. Non-wet by almost all molten metals, AX05 is recommended for applications such as extreme high-temperature insulators and crucibles for high-purity processing Combat® M and M26 combine the moisture resistance of silica with the unique properties of boron nitride. Differentiated by the amount of SiO2, Combat M offers unparalleled resistance to thermal shock while Combat M26 offers higher thermal conductivity. M and M26 are ideal for applications requiring extreme and exacting dielectric properties. Combat® ZSBN combines the non-wetting properties of boron nitride with the extreme refractory and wear-resistance of zirconia. ZSBN is widely used in a variety of molten metal contact applications. Combat® A uses boron nitride as a binder to create a hard, dense yet easily machinable product best used in inert and dry environments. It is ideal for general purpose high-performance applications. Combat® HP leverages Boron Nitride’s outstanding thermal shock resistance with Calcuim Borate Glass’s moisture resistance. HP is ideal for light
