In the fields of advanced ceramics and high-performance composites, are you challenged by the complex processes, extremely high temperatures, and poor substrate adhesion associated with traditional ceramic fabrication? The lengthy process chain from preform to final ceramic component constrains innovation efficiency. Now, we present a revolutionary solution: Organopolysilazane IOTA 9108. It serves both as a high-performance thermosetting resin and an efficient ceramic precursor. With this unique "dual-purpose" property, it paves a shortcut to SiCN ceramics capable of withstanding 1500°C.
The core appeal of IOTA 9108 lies in its efficient polymer-to-ceramic transformation pathway. As a liquid polymer composed of repeating Si-N units, it first exhibits excellent processability: its very low viscosity ensures superior flow and wettability, facilitating easy impregnation of fibers, fillers, or complex molds; its short curing time and diverse curing methods (thermal or catalytic) grant exceptional processing flexibility. At this stage, functioning as a high-performance resin, it demonstrates outstanding adhesion to substrates like metals, ceramics, and graphite, making it an ideal matrix for composite fabrication.
The true revolution lies in its subsequent transformation. The cured IOTA 9108 product can be efficiently converted into SiCN ceramic through pyrolysis under relatively mild inert atmospheres. This process boasts a high ceramic yield, maximizing the retention of fine macroscopic structures and enabling near-net-shape fabrication. The resulting SiCN ceramic offers excellent high-temperature stability, capable of long-term service in extreme environments up to 1500°C, with outstanding performance in oxidation resistance, creep resistance, and thermal shock stability.
Whether used as a matrix precursor for high-performance Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs), a raw material for ultra-high-temperature resistant coatings, or for precision molding of complex-shaped ceramic components, IOTA 9108 provides a "one-stop" solution from organic to inorganic, from flexible to rigid. It significantly simplifies the manufacturing process for high-performance ceramics, reducing energy consumption and cost.
Choosing IOTA 9108 means adopting an efficient, precise, and highly innovative materials strategy. It perfectly integrates the easy processability of polymers with the ultimate properties of ceramics, helping you accelerate the journey from lab concept to industrial application.
