Modified Platelets

Unique powders with our finest primary particle size

Modified Platelet or "MP" powders offer a range of purity levels and level of agglomeration. MP50 and MP20 are both made up of submicron BN particles, while MP05 has higher purity and micron-sized primary platelets.  

Features & Benefits
Benefits
  • Submicron primary particle size 
  • Slightly higher oxygen levels for applications that require reactivity, like powder metal sintering, or improved bonding with polymer systems
