NanoSlick ET-2500 Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) is a remarkable compound with a unique crystalline structure that makes it exceptionally valuable as a modern lubricant. Its distinctive layered arrangement consists of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms, forming a hexagonal pattern similar to graphite. The compound features strong covalent bonds within its layers, while weak van der Waals forces connect these layers. This specific arrangement allows the layers to slide easily over one another, creating excellent lubricating properties. The molecular structure resembles a series of stacked sheets, each containing a network of hexagonally arranged boron and nitrogen atoms.

Particle size determines the lubricity of h-BN which is the reason NanoSlick ET-250 consists of 70nm particle size for the highest lubricity gain. Nano-sized particles typically perform better than micro-sized ones, offering improved penetration into friction areas and enhanced surface interaction. The specific surface area of these particles plays a crucial role in determining their lubricating efficiency.
