As electronics and semiconductor technologies evolve, advanced chemistry is becoming a strategic factor. With Chemicals for Electronics (c4E), Umicore connects integrated access to critical metals with advanced metal‑organic chemistry - starting with ruthenium‑based solutions and expanding toward future materials such as molybdenum.

We are progressively implementing key ligand families that complent our existing offering. Ligand libraries, including a wide range of research ligands, high throughput screening workflows, methods, and tools. Analytical and automation equipment and extensive know-how in ligand development and application. 
Explore what that means for you.

Successful screening of catalytic reactions requires more than automation. It requires scientific expertise, access to the right catalyst technologies, and the ability to translate data into meaningful development decisions. Umicore is your partner for accelerated catalyst development. 

From standard Karstedt catalysts to customized catalyst systems, Umicore helps silicone manufacturers worldwide achieve controlled curing and improved process control to produce silicones for the industrial applications, elastomers, dental applications, release liner coatings, electronics and many more. 

Olefin metathesis offers new opportunities in the synthesis of constrained peptides. At Umicore Precious Metals Chemistry, we support peptide innovators in exploring metathesis as a complementary synthetic tool to access novel peptide architectures and address emerging development challenges.
