: Hexagonal Boron Nitride its called even "white graphite", i know
: they use it in ceramics and put it in resins too as substitute of graphite
: to avoid conductivity when needed etc, they use it in bearings and so on,
: it gives self lubricant properties to the mix exactly like graphite.
: I never seen it so i dont really know how white it is but if i can put my
: sticky fingers on some id love try it and say goodbye to the black color
: of the graphite mixes.
: Anyone out there with any practical experience with the stuff? (and they even
: sell it to mere mortals in North America?)

: uhmm no intention to highjack the thread so if you guys want i can make a new
: post.

Finally remembered to go look at this stuff. Only place on the web I've found it is in Canada and minimum order is a pound. If this is like graphite in weight that's alot of powder. Not grossly expensive looks like, they list it at $40 for a sample order of a pound. I think the web site was www.lowerfriction.com
