In extreme high-temperature and complex working environments, traditional materials and coatings often struggle to balance high temperature resistance, strong adhesion, and process flexibility. IOTA 9120 Organoborosilazane, with its unique ceramicizable precursor properties and intelligently controllable composition design, provides a groundbreaking material solution for aerospace, energy and chemical engineering, specialized equipment, and other fields, truly realizing the engineering vision of "one material, multiple functions—one coating, multiple protections."
IOTA 9120 is a liquid precursor polymer composed of Si-N and Si-N-B units, which can be used directly as a thermosetting resin or pyrolyzed under mild conditions to form high-performance SiBCN ceramics. Its low viscosity and diverse curing methods (thermal curing at 120-180°C or platinum-catalyzed curing at 80-100°C) impart the coating with excellent application adaptability. Curing times are as short as 2-5 hours, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The material demonstrates outstanding bonding to various substrates such as metals, ceramics, and graphite, ensuring strong and stable coating interfaces and markedly enhancing the reliability of composite systems under extreme conditions.
Particularly notable is IOTA 9120's intelligently controllable ceramic transformation capability: it forms stable amorphous ceramics below 1600°C and gradually crystallizes above this temperature, ultimately developing into a dense, temperature-resistant ceramic protective layer. By adjusting the pyrolysis atmosphere, the ceramic composition can be precisely designed—generating SiC and Si₃N₄ composite ceramics in nitrogen/argon, primarily forming Si₃N₄ in ammonia, and obtaining SiBOCN ceramics in air. This "atmosphere-guided" material design allows the same system to flexibly adapt to different working condition requirements, truly achieving customized material performance output.
Against the backdrop of industrial transformation toward high performance, lightweight design, and green manufacturing, IOTA 9120 is becoming a key choice in high-temperature coatings, ceramic matrix composites, specialized bonding, and extreme protection fields, thanks to its high ceramic yield, excellent interfacial bonding, and extreme temperature tolerance (long-term use temperature above 1000°C, peaking at 1800°C). It is not merely a material but also a technological bridge connecting the processing convenience of polymers with the performance advantages of ceramics.
Choosing IOTA 9120 means selecting a smart, controllable, and efficient material strategy for future extreme environments—from liquid resin to high-performance ceramic, from room-temperature application to thousand-degree protection, every step showcases the precision and wisdom of materials science.
