"CHANGE"
TCM Solution is a new transparent thin film conductor that will replace the pre-existing ITO thin film material and metal heating element, and is a new future-oriented electric/electronic component material that is highly applicable to not only the transparent electrode field, but also to a wide range of industrial sectors based on its diverse functions such as semi-conductor transparent high-temperature heating element, electro-magnetic absorption heating, electro-magnetic interference and infrared reflectance.

  • Optical transparency penetrating 85% of the visible light wavelength
  • Formation of ultra-thin film with a coating thickness of 1㎛~10㎛
  • Transparent thin film conductor having a resistance value ranging from 10Ω to 100Ω/㎠
  • It has an approximate surface strength of 7H, is highly scratch-resistant, and has no disconnection
  • Thanks to its diverse functions such as transparent electrode, display(inorganic EL material), electro-magnetic interference, electro-magnetic absorption heating and transparent antenna,
    it can be applied as a basic material component.
  • It is highly acid-resistant, alkali-resistant and salt-resistant, and its excellent durability allows it to be used semi-permanently.

"RAONIS leads the industry with its differentiated technical prowess"
  • After using the spray method to thin-film-coat the TCM solution onto the surface of heat-resistant materials such as ceramic, quartz glass and parka glass under the atmospheric
    condition,
  • Silver is fired and electricity is applied to process a semi-conductor transparent high-pressure heating element that stably reaches an instant temperature above 500℃.
  • It is applicable to industrial sectors involved in manufacturing diverse products that require heater heat sources at a temperature below 600℃ such as kitchen appliances, household
    appliances and heating products.
