One Pound "Test" Quantities of Ceramic Dry Lubricant HBN Powder Now Available Online
Due to consumer demand, one lb test quantity orders are now accepted for sale online. Engineers can now purchase negative 5 micron (-5), or negative 10 micron (-10) Hexagonal Boron Nitride powder online, with only a one lb order.
Offering one lb order quantities removes one of the main hindrances of testing new applications and product development, that being cost. For example, there has been much research lately on gun barrel coating and bullet coating with dry ceramic lubricants, such as hexagonal boron nitride powder. A single pound of HBN ceramic powder will last a very long time for a company still in the product development stage, yet most companies shy away from selling such a small quantity due to the labor and paperwork involved with processing such a high tech material. ISO procedures alone cost the average company 7 pages of paperwork per item ordered. The material itself must be processed and packaged in a diamond laboratory, with a temperature and humidity controlled environment. Thus higher quantity minimums are usually standard industry norm.
Industrial Supply, Inc. has now removed the barrier of costly minimum orders, and is now selling HBN ceramic dry lubricant powder in one pound "test" quantities.
