HighChem Corporation, a global chemical trading and manufacturing company based in Minato, Tokyo, under the leadership of CEO Takauchi, has developed in-house the "Bismaleimide-Cyanate Resin" polymers and monomers, known for their excellent heat resistance and electrical properties, and has commenced sample work for the product.

To meet the demands of miniaturization and high performance in electronic devices, laminated boards (printed wiring boards) equipped with high-performance semiconductors continue to evolve. HighChem has leveraged its strong development capabilities in the resin field, honed in Japan and China, to develop the Bismaleimide-Cyanate Resin.

The Bismaleimide-Cyanate Resin, known for its superior heat resistance, is widely adopted in electrical and electronic materials, including laminate materials. It is also widely used in composite materials such as CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced plastics) for aerospace and space applications.

HighChem has begun sample work on monomers, including the heat-resistant and electrically superior thermosetting "Cyanate Monomer," as well as "Bismaleimide Monomer," characterized by its rigid chemical structure and high reactivity.

In addition, for polymers, HighChem offers "BACE-10" (product name), a polymer of Cyanate Monomer, and "Bismaleimide-Cyanate Resin 'HR Polymer' (product name)," a co-polymer composed of Bismaleimide and Cyanate Monomers (triazine component).

A resin with excellent heat resistance and electrical properties. It features excellent solvent solubility and low melting viscosity, offering excellent processability.

A compound with a rigid chemical structure and high reactivity. It is used not only as a monomer but also as an additive in polymers, enhancing the strength and heat resistance of the resin.

HighChem offers three types of general-purpose Bismaleimide: "HMI-01," which has excellent solvent solubility; "HMI-07," known for its excellent flexibility; and "HMI-08."

This material boasts high heat resistance, low thermal expansion, low dielectric properties, and a high glass transition temperature.

A thermosetting resin obtained by copolymerizing Bismaleimide and Cyanate Monomers (triazine component). It has high heat resistance and excellent electrical properties.

HighChem, as both a chemical trading company and manufacturer, handles a wide range of products and technologies, from life science sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food, and pesticides to cutting-edge electronic components. In addition, the company’s manufacturing-focused Sustainability Division operates four research institutes and a catalyst mass-production plant in Japan and China. HighChem has commenced the development and commercialization of decarbonization technologies based on its C1-based SEG® technology, which has a licensing track record of 10 million tons per year, and utilizes CO2 for chemical production. The company is also focusing on the development of bio-chemical technologies and energy storage systems. Moving forward, HighChem will continue expanding its global business with a focus on more innovative products, technologies, and services.
