In today's ongoing advancement of industrial technology and material innovation, high-performance materials capable of providing reliable protection in extreme environments have become critical elements for industrial upgrading. Particularly in fields such as aerospace, energy equipment, and precision manufacturing, materials must not only withstand high temperatures but also balance lightweight properties, high strength, corrosion resistance, and multiple other performance requirements. IOTA 9120 Organopolyborosilazane, as an innovative ceramicizable precursor polymer, offers an integrated solution for industries with its unique structural design, flexible process adaptability, and exceptional final performance.
IOTA 9120 is a liquid precursor polymer composed of repeating Si-N and Si-N-B units, which can be used both as a thermosetting resin and transformed into high-performance SiBCN ceramics through mild pyrolysis. Its curing process is highly flexible: it can achieve thermal cross-linking curing at 120-180℃ or undergo platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions for curing at 80-100℃, with curing times typically within 2-5 hours, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
Its temperature resistance is particularly outstanding. During high-temperature pyrolysis, it first transforms into an amorphous ceramic, gradually crystallizing at temperatures exceeding 1600℃ to form a dense and stable ceramic layer. Additionally, the final composition of the ceramic can be flexibly adjusted by controlling the pyrolysis atmosphere: in nitrogen or argon, it primarily forms SiC and Si₃N₄; in ammonia, it mainly converts to Si₃N₄; while in air, it can form SiBOCN ceramics. This composition controllability enables optimization of material properties for different application scenarios.
IOTA 9120 features low viscosity and high ceramic yield, making it easy to dilute with various dry solvents and suitable for processes such as spraying, impregnation, and coating. Its excellent adhesion to substrates like metals, ceramics, and graphite demonstrates broad application potential in preparing ceramic matrix composites, high-temperature protective coatings, and corrosion-resistant linings.
Amid the current trend of deep integration between new material development and high-end equipment manufacturing, IOTA 9120 is becoming a significant force in advancing high-temperature-resistant, lightweight, and long-lasting material systems. Choosing IOTA 9120 not only means acquiring a high-performance precursor material but also stepping into a new phase of driving industrial leaps through intelligent material design.
