Standard Platelets

High purity platelets with a tight particle size distribution

Standard Platelet, or "SP", powders consist of high-quality crystalline flakes of boron nitride. These powders have outstanding purity, no agglomeration and a tight particle size distribution around the D50. The product names include "SP", followed by the d50 average particle size for that grade. 

Features & Benefits
Benefits
  • High aspect ratio allows for percolation at low loading levels as a filler particle
  • High purity & crystallinity make SP grades ideal for lubrication enhancement
  • Best option for application where tight particle size control and fine particles are required
