services
JFE Chemical produces iron oxide powders, including nanoscale iron oxide, in a wide range of grades, up to the highest quality. We also supply soft ferrite powders and soft ferrite cores for electrical and electronic components. Furthermore, we strive to offer comprehensive technical services relating to magnetic materials.
Soft ferrite cores
Fellow group companies JFE Ferrite (Co., Ltd.), JFE Ferrite Thailand (Co., Ltd.), and JFE Jiangmen (Co., Ltd.) all manufacture and sell a variety of Mn-Zn soft ferrite cores, using JFE Chemical’s abundant supplies of high-grade iron oxide as a raw material.
With exhaustive R&D, control, and management from the raw material stage, we continue to supply products matched to the forefront of an era.
Main applications
JFE Chemical is a pioneer in supplying a variety of industries with low-loss materials for electric power supplies, high-magnetic permeability materials, as well as high-magnetic flux density materials, wide-temperature range materials, and high-frequency capable materials. From general applications to embedded implementation, we have always earned acclaim for our materials in fields including power supply transformers, choke coils, noise filters, and antennas.

Ferrite powder
Fellow group company JFE Mag-Powder (Co., Ltd.) manufactures a variety of ferrite powders using JFE Chemical’s iron oxide as a raw material. We cater to the needs of our customers with a wide range of products, including calcined powder and granulated powder for Mn-Zn and Ni-Zn soft ferrite, as well as ferrite raw material for photocopier carriers, raw materials for chips, and electromagnetic wave absorption. In collaboration with JFE Chemical’s magnetic materials development center, we also offer comprehensive technical services extending from product development to after-sales support.
This ferrite powder is used as a heat-generating powder in microwave ovens. There is also a ferrite powder that stops the temperature rise in a microwave oven. Ferrite powder can be used as an additive in silicone resin, to enable transformation into sheets/vessels. In response to toughening of regulations relating to high-frequency electronic equipment and electromagnetic environments, we are now working on the development of ferrite powders for gigahertz (GHz) frequency bands.
Iron oxides
JFE Chemical manufactures and sells the highest grade iron oxide in the world, using its own original production technology, and it is the world market share leader in high-purity iron oxides. To satisfy the diverse needs of our customers, we offer a wide production selection of materials of various grades, including soft ferrite, hard ferrite, ferrite carriers, and pigments.
