Hexagonal boron nitride powder, resin composition, resin sheet, and method for producing hexagonal boron nitride powder

To provide a hexagonal boron nitride powder which contains agglomerates, has a maximum torque calculated by measuring in accordance with JIS-K-6217-4 of 0.20 to 0.50 Nm, a DBP absorption rate of 50 to 100 ml/100 g, a tap bulk density of 0.66 to 0.95 g/cmand reduced anisotropy of heat conduction and can provide high heat conductivity and dielectric strength to a resin composition produced by filling a resin therewith and a process for producing the powder by carrying out a reduction nitriding reaction using boron carbide.

Hexagonal boron nitride powder and production process therefor

A hexagonal boron nitride powder whose maximum absorption peak within the range of 3,100 to 3,800 cmof the diffuse reflectance fourier transform infrared spectrum is existent at 3,530 to 3,590 cmand which is able to provide high heat conductivity, dielectric strength and copper foil peel strength to a resin composition obtained by filling the powder into a resin, and a process for producing the above boron nitride powder by mixing together an oxygen-containing boron compound, a carbon source having a sulfur concentration of 1,000 to 10,000 ppm and an oxygen-containing calcium compound in a specific ratio and reduction nitriding the mixture.
