Nickel Ultra Fine Powder

We utilize the CVD method to enable high-precision, submicron-level control of our nickel ultra fine powder. This product is popularly used as an internal electrode material for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). We will continue to develop our technical capability to meet the future needs of our users as these devices continue to become more and more compact.
