IOTA 9120: Controllable Ceramic Precursor, Redefining the Boundaries of Ultra-High Temperature Protection

Hits: 772 img

In ultra-high-temperature and extreme working environments, the endurance and stability of materials directly determine the reliability and lifespan of equipment. From aerospace engine hot-end components to specialized chemical reaction devices, from nuclear power equipment high-temperature protection to industrial furnace lining materials, traditional coatings and ceramic systems often struggle to balance high temperature resistance, strong adhesion, and flexible process adaptability. IOTA 9120 Organoborosilazane, as a precursor polymer with "controllable ceramic transformation" capabilities, fundamentally breaks down the barriers between material performance and process limitations, offering a completely new material solution for achieving ultra-high-temperature protection and lightweight composite structures.

IOTA 9120 is a liquid precursor polymer composed of Si-N units and Si-N-B units, combining the processing flexibility of thermosetting resins with the temperature resistance advantages of high-performance ceramics. Its low viscosity and diverse curing systems—enabling 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 improves production efficiency and reduces energy consumption.

The most outstanding technical advantage of this system lies in its intelligent ceramic transformation capability and composition controllability. During high-temperature pyrolysis, the cured product first forms an amorphous structure and gradually crystallizes above 1600°C, ultimately developing into a dense and stable ceramic protective layer. By adjusting the pyrolysis atmosphere, the ceramic composition can be precisely regulated: generating SiC and Si₃N₄ composite ceramics in nitrogen or argon, primarily transforming into Si₃N₄ in ammonia, and forming SiBOCN ceramics under air conditions. This "atmosphere-guided" compositional design enables the material to achieve precise performance matching according to different working condition requirements.

IOTA 9120 exhibits exceptional adhesion to various substrates such as metals, ceramics, and graphite, making it suitable for multiple application scenarios, including high-temperature coatings, composite material interface enhancement, and ceramic precursor impregnation. Against the backdrop of growing demands for lightweight, high-reliability, and extreme temperature-resistant materials in aerospace, energy equipment, specialized manufacturing, and other fields, this material is becoming a crucial choice for driving technological breakthroughs and industrial upgrades.

Choosing IOTA 9120 is not merely selecting a high-performance precursor material—it is embracing an intelligent material strategy for future extreme working conditions. It achieves performance leaps through controllable transformation and expands application boundaries through structural integration.
