Description

These raw materials for thick film technology cover fine and ultra fine precious metal powders and specialty glass powders used to formulate pastes for electronic circuits and components. They support material development for modern electronics production, where material quality, particle size and consistent properties directly affect the performance of the finished product.

The precious metal range includes gold, silver, platinum, palladium and ruthenium oxide, covering a broad spectrum of industrial and technological requirements. The powders are supplied as fine and ultra fine grades. Particle size and material quality are central parameters, and raw materials and alloys can be customized to meet the requirements of a specific application or production process. Typical applications include circuits, passive components and sensors. The powders are used in the automotive, electronics, aerospace and medical technology industries.

Quality control covers the entire production chain, from the raw material to the finished powder. Analytics and application laboratories equipped with a wide range of technical equipment monitor the powders closely to ensure consistent quality and reproducible properties from batch to batch. This continuous control gives paste manufacturers and component producers a reliable basis for their own formulations and processes.

The glass powders are designed for electronics applications such as LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics). They combine high purity with exceptional dielectric properties and consistent quality, making them suitable for advanced electronic components. Their main application is in circuits, specifically LTCC components, where the dielectric behaviour of the glass phase is decisive for the function of the multilayer structure.

Combining precious metal and glass powders gives users a coordinated basis for conductive, resistive and dielectric thick film formulations. Application and testing services with on-site support are available to help select the right material and adapt it to the specific process, shortening development time.
