Functional Materials Business

In our Functional Materials Business, we are involved with materials that have a broad range of functions, including epoxy resins that serve as an insulating materials for semiconductor encapsulation, alicyclic epoxy resins suitable for optical applications such as LEDs, UV-curable resins, and polyimide/polyamide resins that are noted for their high durability. In particular, environmentally friendly epoxy resins have been established as the de facto standard in the market.

Introduction of main products

Environmentally friendly epoxy resins

Outline

The NC-3000 series of environmentally friendly epoxy resins that has been developed by Nippon Kayaku, serve frame resisting material without adding phosphorous-based or halogen-based flame retardants. The NC-3000 series have excellent moisture resistance and adhesiveness, and when they are cured, lead-free solders whose melting temperature is higher than that of conventional solders by 20 °C or more can be applied to them.
The resins in the NC-3000 series are used not only for semiconductor encapsulation but also for printed circuit boards and composite materials. The characteristic features of the NC-3000 series have been identified, and they have been established as the de facto standard for high-end products in the market.
Nippon Kayaku will continuously and actively develop the products while taking the environment into consideration.

Examples of use

Have you ever seen a green board and a black object with legs on it?
Nippon Kayaku's epoxy resins, insulating materials for semiconductor encapsulation, are used in this black object.
Nippon Kayaku's epoxy resins are also used in familiar commodities such as cars, televisions, personal computers, and cellular phones.
