Semiconductor-Related Products - From Silicone Wafer Manufacturers to End-Users

　Semiconductor-Related Products


Device Manufacturers

Wafer manufacturers use front-opening shipping boxes (“FOSB”) for wafer shipments, and device manufacturers use front-opening

unified pods (“FOUP”) to hold wafers during process handling. Evaluation technologies, clean environment control technologies,

precision molding technologies, and design technologies that accurately meet sophisticated customer requirements are technological

strengths of Shin-Etsu Polymer. As the leading supplier of semiconductor-related wafer containers, Shin-Etsu Polymer maintains a large

share of the FOSB and FOUP markets.

Embossed carrier tape can handle substrate mounting of various electronic devices, including the miniaturized electronic devices used

in mobile devices, large-scale semiconductor packaging, and connector mechanisms to electronic components for automobiles that

must be reliable. Our various top cover tapes have an excellent market reputation because we can match virtually any application to

enable reliable substrate packaging.

We have also developed 4mm-wide 1mm-pitch (0201/0402) embossed carrier tape for the micro ceramic capacitors used in smartphones

and other high-performance mobile devices. This product has a strong reputation for its environmental performance such as in clean

mounting and reduced use of materials.

In the Medical & Chemical Products business, we use advanced materials to offer solutions based on our unique silicone processing

technology in response to requests from medical equipment manufacturers worldwide.

Construction & Infrastructure Maintenance Materials

We provide highly reliable products with integrated production using compounding and extrusion molding technologies that have been

developed over many years. Construction materials made of PVC resin and silicone are used in a variety of ways in our daily lives.

In anticipation of the ongoing aging of infrastructure, Shin-Etsu Polymer also develops and manufactures infrastructure maintenance

materials. Maintenance work must be performed simply and quickly while the structure or facility is still in operation. Silicone products,

which can meet the needs of complex configurations, offer high resistance to weather and vibration, and can be used in a wide range

of temperatures. They are therefore ideal for use in maintenance materials.

We offer various construction materials using our proprietary compounding and processing technologies for PVC resin and silicone.

Easy-to-use, long-lasting infrastructure maintenance products support the infrastructure used in our daily lives.

Plastic corrugated sheetsTaking advantage of the properties of plastics, our polycarbonate and PVC corrugated sheets allow plenty of light, offer durability and excellent workability, and are light weight and stylish.

Water pipe and fittings / Sewage pipe and fittings / Drainage pipe and fittingsUsing the compounding and extrusion product technologies we have cultivated over many years, we provide pipes and fittings for various fields, including water supply, sewage and agriculture.

SealantsWe offer a broad lineup of sealants for use in buildings as bonding, sealing and repairing agents.

“Polyma-Multi Tape®”Our multi-purpose tape is suitable for a variety of applications, including for the prevention of water leaks, metal corrosion and slippage as well as for binding, insulation and UV protection. The silicone used in this product ensures long-lasting performance thanks to its excellent weather resistance.

Biodegradable “Runner Clip”This convenient clip made from biodegradable materials is used for fixing items to the ground, and is suitable for applications such as strawberry cultivation. Being biodegradable, it naturally decomposes in the soil, making retrieval unnecessary.

Through research and development that integrates Shin-Etsu Polymer’s compounding technologies and processing expertise, we make

proposals to meet the new needs of customers. We use the diverse characteristics of our unique conductive polymers, functional films

and other materials to expand applications and contribute to the advancement of industry and people’s lives around the world.

We apply the unique material compounding technology and processing expertise we have cultivated over many years to meet the new needs of customers.

In addition to our core products of commercial food wrapping films used in supermarkets and elsewhere, we also offer various items

that are a common part of daily life such as “Pop Wrap” film for containers and packaging and parchment paper that is useful when

cooking. Through the film business, we proactively conduct an environmental load reduction program that aims to reduce waste and

household trash.

We provide wrapping films and other PVC resin-based products used in daily life.

Shin-Etsu Polymer’s “shupua” is a high-quality, high-performance glass

with glass-like transparency that is made from silicone. Created

in cooperation with Shin-Etsu Chemical, Co., Ltd. this product is the

first material in its class with satisfactory strength, adhesion, stretch

and transparency.

This product resembles glass but is soft and will not break if dropped.

It has low thermal conductivity, so it can hold cold substances without

condensation and hot substances without discomfort to the touch.

Shin-Etsu Polymer’s “shupua” is truly a breakthrough glass.
