Corporate Profile

Titanium

• Titanium Manufacturing Process
• Titanium sponge
• Titanium ingots
• TiCl₄
• Titanium tetrachloride aqueous solution
• Ferro-titanium

Titanium is a plentiful resource, the ninth most common element in the earth's crust, and of the metals with practical utility, only aluminium, iron, and magnesium have larger extractable reserves. Titanium's light weight, strength, and its corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant properties have led to its utilization by aerospace and many other industries, including petrochemical industry, and nuclear and thermal power generation industry.

Applications for titanium are growing rapidly. In addition to its traditional applications, it has recently found new use in architecture and civil engineering, automobiles, medical equipments, consumer products such as eyewear, and sports and leisure goods such as golf club.

Our products have gained an excellent reputation for top quality right from the beginning of the production and have been used for critical components, particularly in aerospace industry. Since then, we have been remaining as the world's leading titanium sponge manufacturer, continuing to supply high quality, low cost titanium materials.

Silicon

• Silicon Manufacturing Process
• Polycrystalline silicon
• High-purity silicon tetrachloride

Second only to oxygen, silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, of which it is thought to make up about 28%. The application of metal silicon to semiconductors began in the 1960s, and has become a key material for an electronics industry, an industry that has grown continually as the multimedia society progresses.

When silicon is used as a material for semiconductors, a polycrystalline silicon needs to be extremely pure.

Our proprietary R&D and improved technology enable us to produce the ultra-pure 99.999999999% ("11 nines") polycrystalline silicon.

Polycrystalline silicon is also used as a material for environmentally friendly solar cells, an important market in society's great demands for environmental preservation.
