Benefits Of Murakami’s Customization Services

  • POINT01

    Technical ability as the world’s leading manufacturer of photo emulsions and capillary films for screen printing

    Screen printing is employed for various uses, and there are diverse requirements for the photo emulsions and capillary films used in it. In the over 50 years since our founding, we have been engaged in the development of photo emulsions and capillary films for screen printing, and have released hundreds of products to this point.

  • POINT02

    Internal development and production enable customization and small-lot manufacturing

    Since we handle everything from the development of photo emulsions and capillary films to production and film forming, we can provide products which meet customer requests.

  • POINT03

    AQUALITHO®: realizing environmentally friendly patterning

    We use water as the solvent for our photo emulsions and capillary films, and water can also be used for development. This lets us lessen the burden not only on the global environment, but also on working environments.

  • POINT04

    Global network

    From our photo emulsion and capillary film production bases in Japan (Ibaraki), China (Zhongshan), and Singapore, we have sold our products in over 50 countries around the world through our local subsidiaries and agents.

Case Studies

Our water-developable photosensitive materials are being considered for usages such as the following.

Patterning

・Patterning materials

Resist materials for etching and metal plating

Usage as a resist material for etching and metal plating in which patterning is conducted on various base materials. We conduct customization suitable for base materials/processes.

Since water development can be performed, damage to base materials can be inhibited.

・Materials for patterning

Resist materials for sandblasting

Utilization as a resist material for sandblasting brittle materials such as glass. Since we have a coating machine, we can form films having thickness matching the processing depth.

Patterning can also be conducted after lamination onto bae material.

Binder

Various function materials can be dispersed into our photo emulsions. Through application onto the base material, exposure, and development, it is possible to impart functionality only onto the remaining portion of the photo emulsion.

By dispersing a catalyst, a reaction can be caused in a partial manner

Development To Production

We develop and produce products that meet customer requests.
The processes differ in accordance with the requests, so first, please feel free to inquire with us.
