R & D

Rare Material Division provides various types of rare earth powders and compound powders by combining core technologies such as "particle size and composition control," "granulation," "sintering," and "high purification," in which we have accumulated a we

Rare earth ultrafine powder

Rare Material Division can provide spherical nanoparticles with a diameter of several tens of nanometers. Even though they are ultra-fine particles, they are highly dispersible and can be expected to be used in a variety of applications. Yttria (Y2O3) and other rare earth oxides are also available.

Rare earth complexes

We have developed rare earth complex which can dissolve in a wide range of pH (from acid to alkaline). We can also make alcohol soluble complex or prototypes of precursors for CVD coatings.

By using this product, you can achieve higher dispersibility of rare earth element compared to using conventional oxide powder product as shown below.

Rare Material Division has experience in manufacturing all rare earth element complex except Pm. We will develop other kinds of complex as well with various physical characteristics, so please feel free to contact us.

Alcohol soluble rare earth complexes

Rare earth anhydride halides

Rare earth anhydrous halides are being used in various fields such as intermediates for pharmaceutical products. Based on your request, we will produce high-purity rare earth anhydrous halides (e.g. anhydrous chloride) that does not contain water or oxygen.

Development and prototype support

We can develop prototypes of various rare earth oxides, compounds (hydroxides, fluorides, complex oxides, complexes, etc.), and metals even in small quantities to meet customers’ needs, so please feel free to contact us for more information. We will support you as a professional partner to solve your problems and concerns.

Initiatives for the Prevention of Misconduct in Research Activities

In order to maintain and develop fair business activities, Rare Material Division has established its “Internal Report Desk for Research Misconduct” based on the "Guidelines for Measures against Misconduct in Research Activities" (approved by the Minister of MEXT on August 26, 2014) and the "Guidelines for Management and Audit of Public Research Funds in Research Institutions" (approved by the Minister of MEXT on February 8, 2014) established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
Please contact the Desk to report any misconduct in research activities or misuse of public research funds.
