Electronic Chemicals

Market Segments

Electronic Packaging and Finishing Technologies

Our line of chemistries for electronics and metal finishing applications includes next-generation lead-free solder plating processes as well as traditional tin-lead soldering technologies and base metal plating processes. Our expertise in formulating advanced plating additives has secured our position as a global leader in the development of specialized plating technologies for use in the electronics, aerospace, military and general metal finishing industries. Our processes are used in the plating of semiconductor leadframes, connectors, wire, flat stock, sheet steel and discrete components such as resistors, capacitors and diodes. Our processes can be used in high-speed reel-to-reel applications as well as in conventional rack and barrel plating.

General Metal Finishing

OMG has been making high-purity electroless nickel concentrates for more than 20 years. We started making high-phosphorus electroless nickel for the memory disk industry, and have since branched out to many other types of electroless nickel processes for a variety of markets and applications, including aerospace, automotive, avionics, electronics, mold/tool/die, petrochemical, surgical and textile. Currently, we manufacture a variety of high-, medium- and low-phosphorus electroless nickel products that meet ASTM standards, in addition to RoHS- and ELV-compliant lead and cadmium-free components. We also make composite electroless nickels with co-deposit materials such as PTFE and silicon carbide for certain applications. All of our electroless nickel concentrates are 100% performance tested prior to shipment.

Memory Disk

For more than 20 years, OMG has been supplying electroless nickel solutions and preplate chemistries to the computer and consumer electronics industries, for the manufacture of hard drive memory disks used for memory and data storage applications. We are the global leader in the supply of these products to the hard drive industry. Memory disk applications include computer hard drives, digital video recorders, MP3 players, digital cameras, and business and enterprise servers. We specialize in the development and manufacture of products specifically designed to operate under the strictest requirements in terms of deposit properties, environmental regulations and RoHS specifications, and product defect limits.

Our expertise lies in our ability to develop products that are equal to the ever-increasing demands placed on memory disk performance for increased storage capacity, economies and the elimination of sub-micron defect levels. With more than 40 years’ combined experience in R&D and engineering support to the memory disk industry, OMG continues to lead the way in new product development and technological innovations for hard disk drive applications.

Printed Circuit Chemistry

OMG Electronic Chemicals has been rapidly expanding its Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) for final finishes, especially in LCD applications. Throughout the world they are supplying ENIG, Selective ENIG, Immersion Silver and Immersion Tin, as well as processes for oxide replacement, soft etching, final etching, organic solderable pre-fluxes and both resist and tin stripping chemical.
