So far, we’ve introduced you to the HeBoSint® PURE LINE, which stands for pure and thermally very stable boron nitride ceramics, and the HeBoSint® CLASSIC LINE, an all-rounder with a balanced set of properties. In this blog post, it’s now time to introduce the third member of the HeBoSint® family: the STRONG LINE.
Die HeBoSint® STRONG LINE steht für Bornitrid-Komposit-Werkstoffe mit sehr guten mechanischen Eigenschaften, hervorragender Gasdichtigkeit sowie hoher Verschleißbeständigkeit. Zu dieser Linie gehören die Werkstoffe HeBoSint® SL-Z 100, HeBoSint® SL-A 400 und unser neuestes Mitglied, das HeBoSint® SL-N 300. Im nächsten Blogbeitrag gehen wir im Speziellen auf unseren neuen Werkstoff ein. Dazu werden wir direkt mit Dominik Zug, dem Mann, der mit der Entwicklung des HeBoSint® SL-N 300 betraut war, sprechen.

Boron Nitride Ceramics: Properties in Detail
You are already familiar with the properties used to characterize boron nitride ceramics. If you’d like to review these characteristics, visit: https://www.henze-bnp.de/focused/hebosint-pure-line-reinheit-und-thermische-excellenz-im-fokus
The boron nitride ceramics in this line are clearly designed for mechanical stability. A line with a strong character!
The HeBoSint® STRONG LINE derives its strength from its mechanical strength. At the same time, however, it continues to stand out compared to other materials thanks to the properties typical of boron nitride.
Let’s dive in: that extra strength—the HeBoSint® STRONG LINE
Let’s summarize briefly
HeBoSint® PURE LINE: Pure and thermally superior
HeBoSint® CLASSIC LINE: The all-rounder
HeBoSint® STRONG LINE: Extra strength
The enhanced mechanical properties of HeBoSint® STRONG LINE are achieved through a second phase. In this phase, materials such as zirconia, aluminum nitride, or an oxynitride are used as composite partners. The combination of these various ceramic components results in a material that combines high load-bearing capacity with the typical properties of boron nitride, including, for example, excellent cutting properties and optimal electrical insulation.
In addition to their mechanical strength, HeBoSint® STRONG LINE materials are characterized by excellent gas impermeability. This is due to the materials’ dense structure, which minimizes open porosity—a critical requirement for certain applications.
Compelling benefits: The advantages of HeBoSint® STRONG LINE – A bond with a strong character
When you need just a little more. HeBoSint® STRONG LINE offers durable materials where others reach their limits. For extreme, sustained stress—whether from sandblasting components, product handling with robots, or mechanical abrasion caused by high product throughput, for example.
The HeBoSint® STRONG LINE is also used when the HeBoSint® CLASSIC LINE reaches its limits. Its high dielectric strength and unmatched gas tightness are crucial for ensuring the integrity and functionality of ceramic components in various demanding environments.
HeBoSint® STRONG LINE: Successful Applications Across Various Industries
The HeBoSint® STRONG LINE offers high-performance products for a wide range of applications. This product line is particularly well-suited for system components subjected to high mechanical stresses, such as cover strips in PVD systems or components for the steel industry.
Like all product lines in the HeBoSint® family, the STRONG LINE is also used in high-temperature applications. It is often used in furnaces, burners, or thermal barriers. In such environments, gas-tightness is crucial to prevent gases from penetrating the material or escaping from it
Components such as bolts, nozzles, holders, washers, and strips have become indispensable in the fields of aerospace, PVD equipment manufacturing, electroplating, metallization, thermal spraying, machine components, semiconductor technology, powder metallurgy, metal casting and melting, and X-ray technology.
Extra-strong material: Henze, the expert in HeBoSint® STRONG LINE
Since the materials in the HeBoSint® STRONG LINE, like those in the other two product lines, are used in countless industries, Henze has been able to steadily expand its expertise for more than 30 years. As a medium-sized company, Henze BNP AG also produces prototypes and small batches according to customer specifications. This makes Henze BNP the first point of contact for companies and research institutions that are launching new processes and projects and wish to learn more about boron nitride ceramics.
