Application to Flexible printed circuits

In the conventional wiring formation, the anchor effect, which makes the interface between the plating and the substrate rough, is used to obtain adhesion of the plating. However, wiring using the anchor effect has the problem of large transmission loss in high frequency signal transmission.
In the wiring formation using molecular bonding technology, it is possible to apply plating on a smooth surface, which reduces the transmission loss in high frequency signal transmission.

Application to fiber plating

In general plating, a process called etching is required to make the surface roughness.
However, it is difficult to apply roughness to finely shaped objects such as fibers, and it has been difficult to obtain strong adhesion by plating on fibers.
In contrast, molecular bonding technology enables direct plating formation on fibers through chemical bonding.

Application to decorative plating

Decorative plating ensures a luxurious metallic color tone and durability by applying plating on resin.
Conventional decorative plating processes use hexavalent chromium, which has a large environmental impact, to form roughness on the resin.
Molecular bonding technology is characterized by its ability to plate on a smooth surface, which is hexavalent chromium-free and has a small environmental impact.
