IOTA 9120: The Programmable Ceramic Source – Inaugurating the Era of Molecular-Level Customization for 1800°C Protection

Hits: 901 img

As aerospace, energy propulsion, and extreme industrial manufacturing continuously push the limits of material performance, traditional single-composition materials struggle to meet complex and variable operating conditions. A true breakthrough requires a material that can not only be formed as flexibly as a resin but also withstand extremes like a ceramic, with its ultimate performance being “designable” and “programmable.” Today, we present this forward-looking technology: Organopolyborosilazane IOTA 9120. It is more than a ceramifiable precursor; it is an unprecedented “performance-programmable” intelligent material system that perfectly integrates the ultimate processing freedom of polymeric materials with the precise controllability of ceramic properties.

Core Breakthrough One: Unparalleled Process Flexibility
IOTA 9120 is supplied as a low-viscosity liquid, easily dilutable with dry solvents for complex processes like spraying and impregnation. It offers a dual-path curing choice: thermal crosslinking curing at 120-180°C, or rapid curing via hydrosilylation within 2-5 hours at a mild 80-100°C using a platinum catalyst. This flexibility allows seamless integration into existing production lines, significantly reducing energy consumption and process complexity.

Core Breakthrough Two: Disruptive “Performance Programming” Capability
The revolutionary essence of IOTA 9120 lies in your ability to actively “program” the final ceramic's composition and properties by precisely controlling the subsequent pyrolysis conditions, achieving a leap from “applying materials” to “designing materials”:

  • Composition Programming: In nitrogen/argon, obtain composite ceramics of SiC and Si₃N₄; in ammonia, predominantly generate Si₃N₄; in air, form the unique SiBOCN system. Merely changing the atmosphere customizes the ceramic's chemical nature.

  • Structure Programming: At pyrolysis temperatures below 1600°C, obtain high-performance amorphous ceramics; above this temperature, transform into crystalline ceramics, meeting different needs from high toughness to high hardness.

  • Composite Programming: Introducing functional fillers allows for synergistic tuning of the final ceramic product's microstructure and macroscopic properties, achieving genuine “tailor-making.”

Core Breakthrough Three: Ultimate Protective Performance
The resulting SiBCN-based ceramics possess exceptional resistance to ultra-high temperatures (with instantaneous peak tolerance up to 1800°C), excellent oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, while also exhibiting strong bonding to substrates such as metals, ceramics, and graphite.

From ultra-high temperature components in aero-engines and thermal protection systems for hypersonic vehicles, to high-temperature process chambers in semiconductors and radiation-resistant components in nuclear energy, and further to thermal runaway protection for new energy batteries, IOTA 9120 provides a fully controllable solution from liquid molecular design to solid-state ultimate performance.

Choosing IOTA 9120 means you are no longer a passive user of materials, but an active designer of their ultimate performance. Let us collaborate to define the future of next-generation materials for extreme environments with programmable molecular intelligence.
