IOTA 9120: One Precursor, Multiple Destinies – “Atmosphere-Program” Your Future in Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics

Hits: 947 img

When extreme temperatures, complex chemical environments, and stringent mechanical requirements converge, and when traditional single-composition ceramic materials fail to meet diversified and precise design needs, do you long for an ultimate solution that combines molecular design freedom with processing flexibility? An intelligent precursor capable of “on-demand customization” of ceramic composition and properties based on the final service environment?

Now, the answer from materials science is clear: Organoborosilazane IOTA 9120. This is more than a precursor polymer; it is a revolutionary “atmosphere-programmable” liquid ceramic synthesis platform. By innovatively incorporating boron (B) to create a unique Si-N-B structure, it not only  the material foundational properties but also unlocks the disruptive capability to directly control the final ceramic composition through the pyrolysis atmosphere.

Core Technology: Dual Pathways, Your Definition of Ultimate Performance
IOTA 9120 offers you complete control from processing to performance:

  • Dual Flexible Curing Paths, Enabling Precision Manufacturing:

    • Thermal Cross-linking Path: Achieves curing under mild conditions of 120-180℃, compatible with either air or inert atmosphere.

    • Catalytic Addition Path: With a platinum catalyst, efficient curing via hydrosilylation can be completed within 2-5 hours at even lower temperatures of 80-100℃, perfectly suited for temperature-sensitive material systems. Its low viscosity ensures easy processing of the most complex part geometries through impregnation, spraying, and more.

  • Disruptive “Atmosphere Programming” Technology, Customize Your Ceramic: The core breakthrough of IOTA 9120 lies in the ability to “program” the chemical composition of its final ceramic product by selecting the pyrolysis atmosphere:

    • Nitrogen/Argon Atmosphere → Yields a composite ceramic of SiC and Si₃N₄, balancing high strength, toughness, and excellent thermal shock resistance.

    • Ammonia Atmosphere → Primarily generates high-purity Si₃N₄ ceramic, renowned for its卓越 oxidation resistance and high-temperature stability.

    • Air Atmosphere → Forms the unique SiBOCN ceramic, exhibiting superior potential for oxidation and corrosion resistance. The final product's properties can be further fine-tuned by incorporating specific fillers.

  Properties & Professional Handling Guide
This material boasts a high ceramic yield, exhibits good adhesion to substrates like metals, ceramics, and graphite, and reliably facilitates the preparation of SiBCN-based ceramic systems with excellent temperature resistance, with its amorphous product stable up to 1600°C. Important Note: To preserve its optimal activity and processability, IOTA 9120 must be diluted with dry solvents and strictly protected from protic substances such as water, alcohols, acids, and bases. Handling and storage in a dry, inert environment are recommended.

Unlocking Infinite Possibilities for Next-Generation Applications
IOTA 9120 is a strategic material for the future, ideally applied in: next-generation aerospace hot-section components and thermal protection systems, long-lasting corrosion-resistant coatings for extreme environments, high-performance braking and wear-resistant materials, high-temperature setters in semiconductor manufacturing, and any cutting-edge field that requires ceramic properties “tailor-made” for specific operating conditions.

Choosing IOTA 9120 means selecting complete autonomy from molecular structure design to macroscopic performance realization. It grants limitless forming freedom through liquid intelligence and uses the key of “atmosphere programming” to open the door to the world of customized ultra-high temperature advanced ceramics for you.
