At the forefront of materials science, we often face a core challenge: how to perfectly integrate the exceptional properties of high-performance ceramics with the ease of processing of polymeric materials? Traditional ceramic manufacturing is often associated with high energy consumption, complexity, and cost. Today, this dilemma meets a revolutionary breakthrough. We proudly introduce Organic Polyborosilazane IOTA 9120 – it is not only a high-performance thermosetting resin but also an unprecedented "programmable" ceramic precursor. It combines the application convenience of a liquid, flexible curing options, and the ultra-high temperature stability of the final product, opening for you a path of precise control from molecular design to customized high-performance ceramics.
The essence of IOTA 9120 is an innovative liquid precursor polymer whose molecular backbone consists of repeating Si-N and unique Si-N-B units. The introduction of this Boron element is the key to its performance leap. It offers you two efficient curing pathways: it can be achieved either through thermal crosslinking at 120-180°C, or rapidly cured via hydrosilylation at a milder 80-100°C with a platinum catalyst (in just 2-5 hours). This low viscosity and easy dilution make complex processes such as impregnation, coating, and potting effortlessly achievable.
However, its true magic lies in the pyrolysis transformation stage. The cured IOTA 9120 evolves into a structurally stable SiBCN ceramic at high temperatures. Its outstanding feature is customizability: you can actively "design" the final ceramic composition by precisely selecting the pyrolysis atmosphere—primarily forming SiC and Si₃N₄ in nitrogen/argon; mainly Si₃N₄ in ammonia; and SiBOCN in air. Combined with the strategic use of fillers, you can further tailor the product's microstructure and final properties, achieving on-demand customization of characteristics such as thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and mechanical strength.
This property makes IOTA 9120 the ultimate solution for extreme environments. Whether it's for components and composite coatings in aerospace that must withstand temperatures exceeding 1500°C, high-temperature protection in the new energy sector, or precision components resistant to plasma erosion in the semiconductor industry, IOTA 9120 achieves the substance of ceramics in the form of a polymer. It perfectly addresses the industry pain point of difficult direct molding and processing for ceramic components with complex shapes.
Choosing IOTA 9120 means you are not only selecting a material but also embracing a manufacturing paradigm for the future—an advanced capability that seamlessly connects design freedom, processing convenience, and extreme performance. Let's collaborate to crystallize infinite possibilities from liquid intelligence.
