B-LEAF, G-LEAF: 2D hexagonal boron-nitride and graphene
Product range
Polygon is a distributor of BeDimensional (IT) for the DACH region and represents the two-dimensional, hexagonal crystals made of graphene and boron nitride. These specialties are used in many applications to improve various properties. For example, hexagonal graphene (the thinnest and most stable material in existence) is used for electrical conductivity, corrosion protection, lubrication or to improve mechanical properties. Hexagonal boron nitride is also a very interesting and inert material, which has for example extremely high temperature resistance, thermal conductivity and chemical resistance. In addition to the area of paints and coatings, these properties are also very useful for textiles, lubricating greases/oils, cooling lubricants, plastics and many more.
The BeDimensional products include:
- h-boron nitride (hexagonal flakes, only few atomic layers thick)
- h-graphene (hexagonal flakes, only few atomic layers thick)
- Both are available in various mixtures or formulations
