Expanding Operations in the Fields of Electronics Materials and Other Highly Functional Products
Display Materials
The resist materials such as transparent protective film for overcoat of color filters and black matrix are our proprietary products which are widely used in the field of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Our original cardo polymer, which has been developed based on our unique compound derived from components in the coal tar, has been used in the products. Our resist materials based on the resist technology that we have cultivated over many years have earned a high reputation in the industry, contributing to the enhancement of display functionality in a wide range of LCD applications such as large-sized LCD TVs, smartphones, and automobiles.
Optical materials that make full use of a high heat resistance, a high refractive index and high transparency.
Stable Supply of High-quality Materials Supported by World-class Production Technologies
Metal Foil Products
Through integrated production control, from melting to the end products, NIPPON STEEL Chemical & Material manufactures highly functional and ultrathin stainless steel foil that is excellent in etching properties and press formability, in addition to ultimately high thickness accuracy, strength, and spring characteristics.
As the world's sole manufacturer of metal catalyst carriers on an integrated basis from the raw materials stage to the end product, NIPPON STEEL Chemical & Material is in pursuit of higher function and higher durability.
Silica / Alumina Spherical Particle
Micron Div, for the first time in the world, met the need for high-performance encapsulation material by the development of producing ceramic spherical fine particle by flame spray method. By high sphericity and high purity, the products have since steadfastly protected the reliability of semiconductors which are growing increasingly high in density and function.
Micron Division has then developed spherical fine particle of alumina. Its spherical fine particle of alumina, in addition to high sphericity and high-precision particle-size control, are capable of exhibiting unique performance, with the advantages of heat resistance, hardness, thermal conduction and other characteristics of alumina.
Bonding Wire
NIPPON STEEL Chemical & Material is committed to offering the most advanced technologies to meet the challenge of rapidly increasing high-integration, high-density IC requirements. We taking advantage of strong links with Advanced Technology Research Laboratories(NSSMC), provides customers with superior bonding wire and microball products, through its affiliate, Nippon Micrometal.
Eutectic or Lead-Free microballs, superior in fatigue resistance and mountability required for various packages from BGAs and CSPs to Flip Chips.
Composite
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) are formed into various shapes to replace metals. Making full use of the materials and structural design technologies amassed over the years, Composite Division, NIPPON STEEL Chemical & Material has developed and is marketing various CFRP products, such as concrete reinforcing bars for shaft walls in the underground shield tunneling (NOMOST) method, CFRP strands, rods, repair and rein-forcing sheets for civil engineering and building purpose, light-weight CFRP rolls for industrial use, and large structures.
Nippon Graphite Fiber Corporation supplies a wide variety of coal tar pitch-based carbon fibers with excellent properties (mechanical properties, thermal properties, etc.) to all industrial fields as base materials for composite materials. Our carbon fibers are produced and marketed by Nippon Graphite Fiber corporation (affiliate NIPPON STEEL Chemical & Material) under the brand name "Granoc™"
Fine Carbon
We, Nippon Steel Chemical & Material (NSCM), have commercialized newly developed mesoporous carbon (ESCARBON® MCND)
produced by our own original process and technology.
Due to its unique mesoporous structures, it has been used as a carbon support of platinum catalyst for fuel cell.
And NSCM is contributing carbon neutrality as a materials manufacturer.
Others
In the low Earth orbit, Atomic Oxygen (AO) generated when oxygen molecules from the Earth's atmosphere are exposed to
high-energy ultraviolet rays in the space environment collide with spacecraft such as artificial satellites
flying at high speeds,causing erosion of the outer materials of the spacecraft.
Our siloxane block polyimide (BSF series) can prevent degradation of materials used in low earth orbit satellites due to AO.
