CeraGlide™ Boron Nitride (BN) coatings are composed of a high purity BN powder base paired with a high-temperature bond phase. Supplied in a liquid form suitable for brushing, they can be diluted with water to spraying and dipping consistencies and applied to a variety of porous and non-porous materials including ceramics, metals, graphite and glass.
Resistant to and non-wet by most molten metals, slags and drosses, CeraGlide BN coatings can be used up to 1372°C (2500°F) in a reducing atmosphere and up to 850°C (1562°F) in an oxidizing atmosphere, and retain many of its properties such as high temperature lubricity and corrosion resistance.
Suspension stability and effective solids dispersion are important for coating consistency and performance. A precisely engineered and high purity BN powder, a nearly neutral pH and a premium alumina binder makes for a new and robust base for CeraGlide boron nitride coating grades SF+ and 10SF+. The improved binder dispersion offers more consistent and even coating layers for better adhesion and performance. The resulting solids stability reduces settling and allows for easy mixing and tighter viscosity ranges of the coating.
With these improvements, CeraGlide BN coatings not only offer excellent performance in a broad range of demanding applications on ceramic and metal substrates, but also a better fit for automated and robotic applications or when there is extended time between uses.
A general-purpose thick coating offers premium value and flexibility of concentrated BN in aqueous phase that can be used as is, or diluted with water to desired thickness and viscosity.
A ready-to-use formulation for spraying, brushing or dipping, 10SF+ combines simplified set-up, efficiency and performance in automated and robotic applications, eliminating possible variation caused by dilution on site.
A high-viscosity paste with a unique aluminum phosphate binder and higher solids content for custom dilution. Offers a very strong bond with many different refractories and glass substrates.
A thick composition with a magnesium silicate binder that dries to a harder coating, particularly useful in applications requiring additional durability such as moving parts in molten metal. Excellent for coating graphite.

The main difference is the type of binder, but there are also various levels of BN content, pH and total solids content. The datasheet lists our commercially available grades as well as their differences.
Type SF+ and 10SF+ will go the highest (over 1500°C) in N2 or inert environments. This makes it a useful coating for graphite setters in the powder metal industry. BN in all of our coatings starts to oxidize in air at around 900°C.
Shelf life for BN coatings is 1 year.
