Surface Finishing Chemicals Business Division
Comprehensive supports to surface finishing chemicals businesses
JX Metals Trading conducts the own plant to manufacture surface finishing chemicals, used for semiconductor, electronic components, printed circuit board and decorative goods and supply them to customers.
In alignment with group companies chiefly in Southeast Asia, we offer technical supports and stock sales on a timely manner.
Responce to customers' requirements through works of development, testing and analysis
As the development-oriented plant, we focus on new development of surface finishing chemicals. Based on our long experiences and accumulated technical data, we would offer new and the customized products. We provide services of testing and analysis by our own evaluation equipments and arrange engineers' visit to a customer's site.
