Sindlhauser Materials LaB6 Lanthanum Hexaboride, PeroLab nanoparticles stable until 2000°C, nontoxic

Sindlhauser Materials GmbH is a medium-sized business and manufacturer and supplier of materials for vacuum coating industry, like sputtertargets, ceramic cathodes, ceramic suspensions, crucibles and tungsten filaments, Member of the European Research Society of Thin Films (EFDS), with these products they are a qualified supplier in to the automotive, optic-, semiconductor- and sensor industry as well as turbine industry. In their new division, they have started production of Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) nanoparticles (PeroLab). LaB6 (PeroLab) is a ceramic material and stable until 2000°C and nontoxic.

PeroLab nanoparticles smaller than 120 nm are an excellent light absorber in the Near-Infra-Red (NIR), wavelength of 800 – 1400 nm. With high efficiency the particles transform the light into heat. This property is based on the so called localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Due to this exceptional property LaB6 can be used for thermal induced/needed processes, like 3D-printing and laser welding of polymers, NIR-drying, NIR-filtering.

A preferred application is in 3D-printing. 3D printing of polymer bodies using the so-called FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) Process are mostly post-treated in an oven in order to increase the bonding between layers in the z-axis. Failing to do so could easily lead to material failure under mechanical stress. Incorporating LaB6 particles into the 3D printed bodies, followed by an NIR radiation during or after printing leads to noticeable improvements in the material’s mechanical stability and surface texture. As a result, the irradiated area shows smooth surfaces, higher tensile strength, increase up to 70% and high transparency in case of using PLA as polymer. LaB6 can also be used in SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) processes as a sintering agent.
