Products made of Advanced Materials,
standardised and improved for daily use

Sintec started manufacturing Boron Carbide shot-blast nozzles in 1980.
Since that time we have further developed the technology to meet market requirements. Within our product range we have standard and custommade nozzles as well as made-to-order wear parts. Neutron absorbers and ceramic plates for body armour complete our manufacturing program.

Hot pressed and hot isostatically pressed Boron Nitride have a long history in Sintec.
Based on the requirements of our customers and according to our strategy we modify Boron Nitride to meet the different market needs. In this way we not only produce shapes in pure Boron Nitride but also in Boron Nitride composites.

Intermetallic Composites (IMC) are our core business.
As market leader we offer a wide range of evaporator boats. We have solutions not only for aluminium, but also other metals like silver, copper and gold. We have boats for web coating, batch metallization and other specialties.

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) techniques allow production of complex components.
Apart from powder metallurgical steels for tool-making our strength is mainly in compounds. Their applications are, for example, screws for extruders and rotors for plastic processing. We also offer innovative solutions for the offshore oil industry to replace forged parts and welded compounds. Duplex or superduplex steels give excellent performance regarding corrosion and strength. By post HIPing we improve the properties of ceramic hip joints, cast parts for jet engines and components in gas-turbines for electrical power plants.

Advanced properties make Boron Nitride a unique material.
Due to the hexagonal structure BN powder is used as a lubricant and release agent. We find BN powder also in cosmetics due to its gloss and reflection properties. Its corrosion resistance against many molten metals makes Boron Nitride a universal material for metallurgical applications. Due to its high electrical resistance and good thermal conductivity BN powder is used as a filler in silicones. Diamond synthesis allows the conversion of hexagonal BN into a cubic BN (CBN) structure.

Boron Carbide and Titanium Diboride are two of the hardest materials known.
B4C powder is used as grinding and polishing grits, but also to manufacture wear-resistant parts. Titanium Diboride finds its application especially in metal matrix composites (MMC). In addition to hardness, its low density and excellent ballistic properties are the main reasons to use Boron Carbide for personal body armour. B4C powders and pellets are used as control rods and safety elements in nuclear power plants.
