BORONID® BORON NITRIDE (BN) FILLER IN HEATING CARTRIDGES AND HEATING ELEMENTS
As a basic requirement, heating cartridges and heating elements are expected to provide high energy yields, efficient heat transfer and long service lives, even at high temperatures. It is therefore essential to choose the right electrically insulating filling material. Although conventional materials such as aluminum or magnesium oxide possess high electrical insulation capacity, they have poor thermal conductivity. Boron nitride, on the other hand, with its unique combination of high insulation capacity and high thermal conductivity, is ideal in meeting these requirements.
Applications and Properties
With BORONID® boron nitride powders, ESK offers a wide range of powders with different physical and chemical properties that are ideal as fillers for heating cartridges and heating elements. As a result it can be provided with the properties to meet customers’ demands, such as flowability, bulk and tap density and compressibility.
ESK BORONID® boron nitride powders are characterized by:
- High thermal conductivity
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Uniform physical/chemical properties
- Efficient, reproducible processing
