Our name is more than just letters—it reflects our identity! Whether the “He” in HeBoSint® stands for the hexagonal crystal structure or the company name Henze remains our secret for now, but luckily for us, both fit perfectly.
Furthermore, the brand name HeBoSint® is derived from the chemical name boron nitride and the term “sintered materials,” and refers to hot-pressed boron nitride sintered materials.
What product lines are included in this product family?
Due to the diverse properties that sintered boron nitride exhibits depending on its composition, our product family is divided into three distinct product lines: the Pure Line, the Classic Line, and the Strong Line. The selection of one of these lines is based on specific requirements and applications. Key criteria here include mechanical stress, required temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical properties, to name just a few.
HeBoSint® PURE LINE
HeBoSint® PURE LINE materials have an exceptionally high degree of purity and a boron nitride content of more than 98.5%. As a result, the specific properties of boron nitride—such as high-temperature resistance, good thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, excellent thermal shock resistance, and very good lubricating properties—are exceptionally pronounced. The HeBoSint® PURE LINE can be used under inert gas at temperatures exceeding 2000 °C. This property makes it the first choice, for example, in plasma systems and high-temperature furnace construction.
HeBoSint® CLASSIC LINE
The HeBoSint® CLASSIC LINE offers an impressive combination of excellent mechanical and thermal properties with high cost-effectiveness. This versatility makes the CLASSIC LINE ideal for a wide range of applications. The product portfolio includes high-quality casting nozzles for the metal industry, brazing supports, welding nozzles, and insulation frames for PVD coating systems. The excellent release properties, high thermal shock resistance, and very good electrical insulation ensure reliability in the production process and guarantee a long service life for the components.
HeBoSint® STRONG LINE
The HeBoSint® STRONG LINE product line features boron nitride composite materials with outstanding mechanical properties, very high gas tightness, and high wear resistance. The addition of zirconia or aluminum nitride enhances mechanical strength. The boron nitride content of the STRONG LINE ensures boron nitride-specific properties such as electrical insulation and excellent release properties. A product line with a robust character for system components that are subjected to high mechanical stresses in application, such as cover strips in PVD systems and components for the steel industry.
The different grades within a line
Together, the three product lines within the HeBoSint® family—PURE LINE, CLASSIC LINE, and STRONG LINE—represent a well-thought-out response to our customers’ diverse needs. By carefully addressing mechanical, thermal, chemical, and electrical considerations, we offer innovative solutions for a wide range of applications.
