MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global leader in specialty chemicals and materials for electronics manufacturing, announces the expansion of its production facility at 14 Tuas Avenue 10, Singapore. This strategic initiative marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth. At the heart of the expansion is the scaleup of Argomax, celebrated for its superior thermal and electrical conductivity, which provides a robust and reliable bonding solution for power modules. The expansion doubles the manufacturing footprint and supports a multi-million-dollar investment to elevate production capabilities and innovation capacity for Argomax, the flagship silver sintering paste. Aligned with Singapore Manufacturing 2030 vision, the expansion was made possible with strong support from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
The global surge in power electronics, particularly within the electric vehicle (EV) sector, has intensified the need for high-performance materials like Argomax. Its advanced nano-particle technology enables low- temperature and low-pressure sintering, resulting in highly homogeneous sinter joints. This innovation allows for the development of smaller, lighter, and more efficient powertrain systems, offering a substantial competitive edge over conventional bonding methods. By enhancing the efficiency and reliability of EV power inverters, Argomax plays a pivotal role in extending vehicle range and performance, thereby supporting the advancement of the green economy.
