Joint Development With Japanese & Korean Partners: RANA's Innovation Journey
May 29, 2019
Why Partner with Japanese and Korean Companies?
RANA's strategic choice is based on three factors. First, Japan and Korea lead globally in fluorine materials - Japan's Daikin and Valqua are world-renowned, while Korea's semiconductor-driven market demands rapid technology iteration. Second, technical complementarity is strong: RANA excels in production processes, cost control and market responsiveness, while Japanese and Korean partners bring material R&D, precision manufacturing and quality management expertise, creating a synergistic 1+1>2 effect. Third, market demand drove the decision: China's booming IC semiconductor and wet electronic chemical sectors in the 2010s created surging demand for high-purity lining products, previously dominated by imports.
Core Areas of Technical Cooperation
PTFE Plate Lining: Through cooperation, RANA mastered sheet selection for different applications, welding processes ensuring defect-free high-strength seams, and lining forming techniques for optimal tank fit and uniformity.
PFA High-Purity Lining: RANA learned to select PFA materials meeting SEMI C8-C12 requirements, produce high-purity linings in Class 10k clean workshops, and implement cleaning processes achieving metal impurities ≤0.1ppb and particles ≤0.2/μL.
Clean Workshop Management: RANA gained expertise in designing Class 10k and Class 100k clean facilities, managing environmental parameters including temperature, humidity, pressure and cleanliness, and maintaining sustained compliance.
Key Achievements
Technically, RANA now produces PPB-PPT grade high-purity linings at internationally advanced standards. Product-wise, the company offers a complete matrix including high-purity fluororesin lining storage tanks, ISO containers, reaction vessels, pipes and fittings, and high-purity PFA injection molded parts serving IC semiconductor, TFT wet electronic chemical, and basic chemical industries. Commercially, RANA has served industry leaders including Samsung Electronics, GlobalFoundries (Chengdu), Tongwei Group, and CIMC Group, with continuously growing market share.
The Road Ahead
Technical cooperation marks only the first step. RANA is committed to deepening international partnerships while building independent R&D capabilities, aiming to become a world-class fluorine material lining solutions provider within five years.
Conclusion Joint technology development with Japanese and Korean partners represents a milestone in RANA's innovation journey. We remain dedicated to continuous technological advancement, delivering superior products and services to our customers.
