Nitride Powders
Boron nitride, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride and other ceramic nitride powders. Match the chemistry and crystal form to the intended process.
Choose a material
Boron nitride crystal forms
Start with hexagonal h-BN or cubic c-BN (CBN). The shared BN formula does not identify the crystal form; keep the phase and intended process together.
Cubic boron nitride powder
Cubic boron nitride (c-BN / CBN) superabrasive powder
BN / c-BN / CBN
Aluminum and silicon nitrides
AlN and Si3N4 are separate ceramic systems. For AlN, include oxygen and surface-treatment requirements; for Si3N4, specify the required phase balance.

Material & phase
Separate hexagonal BN from cubic BN/CBN, and distinguish AlN from Si3N4. Retain the exact phase or phase-ratio requirements in the brief.
Particle & surface
Describe particle distribution, shape, agglomeration and surface treatment. For treated grades, specify what must be confirmed about the coating.
Process & documentation
Connect the grade to sintering, filler formulation or research. Review oxygen/moisture limits, test methods and appropriate handling information.
Three nitrides. Different starting points.
These application sketches identify a direction. The powder grade still has to fit your process.
h-BN
Hexagonal boron nitride
Thermal fillers & release applications
Compare platelet size, morphology and treatment. h-BN is a different phase from c-BN.

Thermal ceramics & filler studies
Compare oxygen, particle distribution and moisture sensitivity for the process.
View materialSi₃N₄Silicon nitride
Structural & engineering ceramics
Compare α/β phase balance, oxygen and sintering requirements.

Can BN, AlN and Si3N4 substitute for one another?
They are different ceramic material systems. Start from the application and processing conditions. Even within BN, hexagonal powder, cubic superabrasive and nanosheets require separate specifications.
What does this directory cover?
Dedicated thermal filler treatments and BN nanosheets have related entries, while the chemical identity remains explicit throughout the catalogue.
What to include in your request
A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.
- Nitride formula, crystal form and phase requirements
- Particle size, morphology and treatment
- Oxygen, moisture and impurity limits
- Process, quantity and evaluation documents
Quantity, samples and documents
Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.
We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
