Used as a high-temperature lubricant due to its layered structure similar to graphite, providing smooth performance in extreme heat where traditional lubricants fail. Commonly found in aerospace and automotive applications for this reason.

Employed in cosmetics, especially in powders and foundations, because of its softness, transparency, and ability to give a silky feel while absorbing oils and providing UV protection.

Acts as an additive in polymers and ceramics to enhance thermal conductivity while maintaining electrical insulation, making it ideal for electronic packaging, heat sinks, and insulating components.

Used in coatings for molds and metal forming processes due to its non-wettability by molten metals and resistance to thermal shock. Also applied as a high-temperature material in furnaces and as an anti-corrosion coating due to its chemical stability.

Applied in nanotechnology as boron nitride nanotubes, which offer high strength, thermal stability, and potential use in advanced composites, protective materials, optical devices, and semiconductors.
