In extreme environments such as aerospace, nuclear energy engineering, and ultra-high-temperature industrial furnaces, materials must withstand the rigorous of temperatures exceeding 1600°C. While traditional ceramic coatings offer temperature resistance, they commonly face challenges such as complex application processes, weak interfacial bonding, and difficulty adapting to complex substrates. IOTA 9120 organopolyborosilazane, as a revolutionary ceramicizable precursor polymer, introduces an unprecedented intelligent solution for ultra-high-temperature protection through its unique Si-N-B molecular structure and highly controllable ceramicization process. It not only provides the processing convenience of polymers but can also be transformed into performing SiBCN ceramics through controlled pyrolysis, truly achieving the technological breakthrough of "one material, dual performance."
IOTA 9120 is a liquid precursor polymer designed with repeating Si-N and Si-N-B units. It can be used as a high-performance thermosetting resin and, under relatively conditions, pyrolyzed to form temperature-resistant SiBCN ceramics. Its low viscosity and diverse curing methods—allowing for thermal curing at 120-180°C or catalytic curing at 80-100°C with platinum catalysts—make the application process flexible and efficient. With curing times as short as 2-5 hours, it significantly enhances production efficiency and process adaptability. Its bonding ensures adhesion to various substrates, including metals, ceramics, and graphite, providing reliable coating and interfacial protection for complex structural components.
Even more remarkable is IOTA 9120's controllability and adaptability during high-temperature pyrolysis: it forms a stable amorphous ceramic below 1600°C and gradually crystallizes at higher temperatures. By adjusting the pyrolysis atmosphere—generating composite ceramics of SiC and Si₃N₄ in nitrogen or argon, transforming into Si₃N₄ in ammonia, or forming SiBOCN ceramics in air—users can "customize" the final composition and properties of the material according to specific application scenarios, truly enabling the design and of ceramic products.
Amid the current industrial trend of pursuing high performance, lightweight design, and green manufacturing, IOTA 9120 is becoming an ideal choice for high-temperature protective coatings, ceramic matrix composites, aerospace thermal barrier systems, and other fields. It not only addresses the pain points of traditional ceramic materials, such as difficult processing and poor adaptability, but also provides a technological pathway for materials engineering in extreme environments through its intelligent and controllable ceramicization .
Choosing IOTA 9120 means opting for a processable, transformable, and customizable future material solution—from liquid resin to high-performance ceramic, from room-temperature application to ultra-high-temperature protection, every step embodies the wisdom of materials science, turning extreme temperatures from a limitation into a stage for achieving .
