Rare Earths-evoiving in step with advancements in research & development

The high-tech industries in which rare earths are used are marked by a steady stream of striking developments, which means that the technical requirements for rare earths become more sophisticated and diverse year after year. Shin-Etsu Chemical produces and sells an array of rare earth products to meet the wide range of user needs.

Controlling the properties of rare earth oxides

It is a given that advancements in separation and refinement technologies result in higher purity rare earth oxides. Today, users demand not only purity but greater control over other physical properties as well. Starting with fundamental purification techniques, Shin-Etsu can control the properties of the oxide particles to match most any intended application.

Shin-Etsu rare earth magnets

Shin-Etsu was one of the first to produce high-energy rare earth magnets on a mass-production basis, and we boast the world’s only comprehensive production system. This means we start with the refinement of rare earth to produce high-quality cerium, neodymium and samarium magnets, which we supply to customers worldwide. We produce magnets with maximum energy products from approximately 10 MGOe to 52 MGOe. Shin-Etsu rare earth magnets are the right choice for an incredible array of applications.
