Supporting daily life and the environment through high-purity PGM compounds
PGMs, including iridium and ruthenium, exhibit high corrosion resistance and catalytic activity. They are used in fields related to daily life and the environment, including chemical production and clean energy applications.
Market needs
Expanding PGM demand in the clean energy sector
As efforts toward carbon neutrality and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) accelerate, renewable energy utilization is expanding in applications such as exhaust gas purification and hydrogen production, driving demand for precious metal catalysts. To meet these market needs, catalyst design and manufacturing technologies capable of achieving highly efficient reactions while effectively utilizing scarce precious metal resources are required.
Expanding demand in the chemical products sector
Demand for chemical products such as detergents, rubber, and vinyl products has become increasingly diverse and advanced in recent years. To meet these market needs, insoluble metal electrodes used in manufacturing processes require catalyst layers with high oxidation resistance. As a result, iridium and ruthenium compounds are required to maintain high quality while supporting stable, large-scale supply.
Expanding demand in the OLED market
In recent years, OLED technology has been increasingly adopted across a wide range of products, driving market growth. To meet these market needs, iridium compounds used as raw materials for OLED phosphorescent materials are required to achieve high purity, as purity directly affects luminous efficiency, operational lifetime, and reproducibility. Consequently, the stable supply of high-purity iridium compounds is becoming increasingly important.
Furuya’s strengths
01
High-purification technology
Through proprietary re-refining technologies for iridium and ruthenium sourced from mines, we provide high-purity compounds.
02
Production capacity
We have the capability to supply iridium and ruthenium compounds in quantities of several hundred kilograms per month. In addition to chloride compounds, our mass-production lineup includes a wide range of products, such as nitrate compounds.
03
Trivalent products
Commercially available ruthenium chloride generally contains mixed trivalent and tetravalent valence states. We offer products with the valence intentionally adjusted to the trivalent state. Valence control can provide various improvements, including improved synthesis yield.
