[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]NNP Co., Ltd.,(President Chun-Seop Hwang, www.nnptechno.com) a Korean company specialized in development of plating technology, shows a high rate of growth as confidently contributing to the development of the industry with a variety of the technology developments related to the plating industry.

The flagship plating areas introduced by NNP Co., Ltd. are the “3D metal thin film” and the “transparent electrode”, each of which has received the “1st NET(New Excellent Technology) in 2009”.

The 3D metal thin film technology enables you to manufacture the 3D metal thin films of the materials such as Ni, Ni-Co and Cu seamlessly without joints, and enlarging the area also becomes possible. Thus, the shading, texture and cubic effect of the product is much better in comparison with the conventional metal thin films, and it is possible to produce custom designs based on the differentiated product design. In addition, it also has the benefits of process simplification, cost reduction and environment-friendly, as it no longer needs the etching process.

The 3D metal thin film technology of NNP Co., Ltd., which has all of the three main components that are environment-friendly, cost and technological prowess, is currently being applied to a variety of industrial areas such as interior material for advanced construction and new concept metal card.

Another technology, the transparent electrode, is the technology to manufacture the film to hold conductivity while holding transparency, has secured the high quality transparent electrode file as realizing the penetration rate of more than 90% and dozens Ω/sq resistance.

Since it has an excellent resistance with the microcircuit technology, it has been also garnering attention as a product to replace the existing ITO(Indium-Tin Oxide) transparent electrode. Of course, the low cost film production and the cost reduction for companies who use the product are the areas that garner attention.
