Recently, an organic polysilazane material named IOTA 9108 has garnered significant attention in the field of materials science. Known as a ceramizable precursor polymer, it stands out as a new star in ceramic precursor materials due to its unique properties and broad application prospects.

IOTA 9108 boasts low viscosity, short curing times, diverse curing methods, high ceramic yields, and excellent adhesion to metals, ceramics, graphite, and other materials. It is easy to prepare SiCN ceramics and can withstand temperatures up to 1500°C, providing reliable solutions for high-temperature applications.

Described as a liquid precursor polymer composed of repeating Si-N units, IOTA 9108 can be used both as a thermosetting resin and a ceramic precursor. Pyrolysis under mild conditions yields temperature-resistant SiCN ceramic products.

In terms of applications, IOTA 9108 is widely used in ceramic matrix composites, metal matrix composites, high-temperature adhesives, anti-corrosion coatings, high-temperature oxidation-resistant ceramic coatings, ceramic preform impregnants, thermosetting resins, and organic-inorganic hybrid materials, among others.

Technically, IOTA 9108 presents as a colorless to light yellow liquid with a solid content exceeding 99%, a molecular weight between 700-900, and moderate viscosity. Its ceramic yield exceeds 55% at 800°C, with cured ceramic yields exceeding 75% and a ceramic density between 1.60-2.00 g/cm³.

Regarding shelf life, unopened IOTA 9108 has a shelf life of six months, while opened product's applicability is influenced by protective measures, lasting over two months under sealed, low-temperature, and dry conditions. Necessary protective measures and a ventilated, dry environment are required during usage.
