Description
Boron (B) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles
Average Particle Size: 100 nm | Purity: 99.55+% | Color: Brown-Black | Crystal Structure: Hexagonal
Boron Nanopowder is a high-purity, ultra-fine elemental boron material with a particle size of ~100 nm. It appears as a brown-black powder and is known for its high melting point (2400°C), exceptional thermal stability, and abrasive resistance. With its hexagonal crystal structure and versatile chemical behavior, boron nanopowder is widely used in high-temperature, electronic, photonic, and industrial applications.
Its nanoform enhances reactivity, dispersibility, and surface interaction, making it more efficient than bulk boron in catalytic and energetic formulations.

Key Applications
Corrosion Inhibition
Used in the production of boron-based compounds for antifreeze, brake fluids, and hydraulic systems, where it protects ferrous materials from corrosion.
Abrasives
Thanks to its hardness and thermal resistance, boron nanopowder is effective for high-speed cutting tools, coatings, and abrasive pastes.
Photoelectric & Electrochemical
Applied in photovoltaics, tanning, fuel cells, and electrolytic condensation systems due to its semiconducting behavior.
Biocide & Pest Control
Boron compounds act as efficient physical biocides, damaging insect digestive systems without toxicity to humans or the environment.
Ignition Materials
With its thermal reactivity, boron is widely used in ignition aids, including charcoal briquettes, pyrotechnics, torches, and rocket fuels.
Advanced Ceramics and Metallurgy
Serves as a dopant and sintering additive in high-strength boride ceramics, refractory materials, and lightweight alloys.
