Uyemura International Crop. (UIC)

Uyemura USA is best known for their work in the development of final finishes for the printed circuit industry. UIC is the world leader in electroless nickel / immersion gold systems (“KAT”) as well as electroless golds, including AuBel and TMX, which offer an exceptional alternative for semiconductor packaging. Also significant are Uyemura immersion silver (RGA) and immersion tins (RMK).

UIC revolutionary acid copper chemistries quickly gained wide acceptance for their ability to streamline maintenance costs. Uyemura supplys the world-leading electrolytic (Auruna) golds from Umicore-GT, and industry-leading copper etchants from MEC.

Other markets, as diverse as apparel, food equipment, automotive and medical device manufacturing, use Uyemura technologies to distinguish their products, gain market share – or reduce product liability. The stunning success of Uyemura satin nickels in the automotive sector established a basis for the application of other Uyemura technologies, including lead and cad-free chemistries that meet important industry mandates.

And, there’s Miralloy – the world’s first germicidal metallic finish, the Uyemura product that became “front page news” for applications ranging from bed frames (it kills Legionnaire’s Disease) to restaurant equipment, to heating and air conditioning systems.
