Boron ceramic powders
Höganäs is specialized to produce elemental boron ceramic powders. Based on a state-of-the-art production facility, amorphous and crystalline qualities are supplied for our boron ceramic powder.
Amorphous boron is used in pyrotechnics (airbag igniters, flares, propellants), explosives, and advanced ceramics, whereas crystalline boron qualifies for permanent magnets (Nd-Fe-B), refractory borides, targets, or neutron shielding in nuclear industry.
