Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) Description

The so-called pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN for short) is closely related to β-boron nitride, a kind of boron nitride ceramic. It is produced by the chemical vapor deposition process to create its solid body and all the boron nitride crystals grow parallel to the surface on which the vapor is deposited. PBN is also called chemical vapor deposition boron nitride.

Due to the nature of the CVD process, PBN parts generally are requested a wall thickness not more than 3mm. PBN is also a good choice for the extremely high purity of boron nitride. 99.99% is the typical grade. The CVD process gives this pyrolytic boron nitride an almost perfect layered structure, which leads to anisotropic thermal conductivity, making it an ideal material to make crucibles for crystal growing.

Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) Properties
