SKC Materials R&D develops specialty polyurethane materials and inorganic materials for the happiness of our customers and for the continuous development of SKC.
Specialty polyurethane R&D is based on long-term know-how and technology accumulated in the PO downstream. It is the leader of the next-generation materials industry. Representative materials will include jounce bumper, fine bubble material used for automobile suspension and headlamp bezel with high-functioning engineering plastic. In addition, our materials R&D team also develops highly flame retardant urea coating materials used in LPG tanks and functional glue used for solar panel back sheets, as per our client needs.
Besides polyurethane, we are also currently developing inorganic materials such as magnet-FCCL used for wireless charging and IT device close-range communication.
Key R&D Achievements
LMP (Low Monol Polyol) By developing and using special catalyst which replaces KOH (generally used when manufacturing polyol), we created a high-functioning polyol with a lower content of monol that reduces matter property during polyurethane manufacturing. First independently-developed LMP manufacturing catalyst in Korea.
Highly Flame Retardant Urea Coating Highly flame retardant coating used for LPG tanks. Protects the insulation layer of LPG tanks. Acquired UL 94 and DIN 4102 certification.
Solar Panel Back Sheet Film Lamination Glue Outstanding weatherproof film lamination glue. Formulated with the highest level of polyester polyol and polyurethane design to secure outstanding initial adhesion and durability.
Jounce Bumper Automobile suspension part made with polyurethane fine bubble foam. Used in various Korean and foreign automobile models.
Engineering Plastic Complex material with greatly enhanced plastic properties achieved by combining inorganic materials. Used in the manufacture of headlamp bezel, fender, automobile parts, and housing parts for various electronic products.
M-FCCL (Magnetic Flexible Copper Clad Laminate) Panel material for NFC, Samsung Pay, and wireless charging antenna etc. Made with organic and inorganic complex material technology. Currently used in Korean cellular phones as it is highly price competitive and may be made thinner
