What We Offer

Boron nitride nanomaterials offer significant material benefits in aviation, automotive, space travel, energy, batteries, electronics and defence systems. They have extraordinary mechanical properties and are significantly stronger than any metal or carbon fibre.

BNNT Technology currently offers boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) that are extremely flexible, excellent thermal conductors, optically and infrared transparent, chemically stable, able to withstand extreme temperatures, have neutron shielding capability and are electrical insulators.

We offer two types of BNNTs:

1. BNNT-S (2-3% metal impurities), and
2. BNNT-P (0.1-0.2% metal impurities)
