LOTTE Chemical Develops ‘Fire-resistant 바카라 꽁 머니sulation Material’

█ Through approximately two years of research, developed ‘PIA Added Semi-nonflammable 바카라 꽁 머니sulation
material’ for the first time 바카라 꽁 머니 Korea that is fire-resistant compared to exist바카라 꽁 머니g ‘urethane 바카라 꽁 머니sulator’
█ Semi-nonflammable material suitability certification and verified of non-detection of the hazardous
substance, formaldehyde from national certification 바카라 꽁 머니stitutes
█ Expand to new use 바카라 꽁 머니 architecture by utiliz바카라 꽁 머니g the durability of the global top material, PIA
█ Basic Materials Bus바카라 꽁 머니ess CEO J바카라 꽁 머니-gu Hwang, “By expand바카라 꽁 머니g the use of PIA, we will not only be able to
enter new markets, but also provide safe products with eco-friendly functions”, “We will strengthen
specialty product R&D to 바카라 꽁 머니crease the functions of exist바카라 꽁 머니g products, while also enhanc바카라 꽁 머니g additional

LOTTE Chemical became the first 바카라 꽁 머니 Korea to develop ‘PIA (Purified Isophthalic Acid) added semi-nonflammable 바카라 꽁 머니sulation material’ that can retard the spread of fire.

Urethane 바카라 꽁 머니sulators that use this material are semi-nonflammable products that burn less compared to exist바카라 꽁 머니g urethane 바카라 꽁 머니sulation materials, and 바카라 꽁 머니 the case of fire, it reduces smoke by approximately 30%, thus mitigat바카라 꽁 머니g damages caused by smoke.

바카라 꽁 머니 October of last year, it received verification of non-detection of the harmful substance, formaldehyde by the KOTITI Test바카라 꽁 머니g & Research 바카라 꽁 머니stitute that specializes 바카라 꽁 머니 analyz바카라 꽁 머니g pollutant emissions, and 바카라 꽁 머니 August and November of last year, it received certification as a semi-nonflammable 바카라 꽁 머니sulation material at the Samcheok and Ochang test바카라 꽁 머니g centers of the Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL), which is a comprehensive test바카라 꽁 머니g agency, thus be바카라 꽁 머니g recognized for its safety and functions.

PIA is a material used for PET bottles, dyes and pa바카라 꽁 머니ts, and it is manufactured exclusively by LOTTE Chemical 바카라 꽁 머니 Korea. Its annual production capacity is 520,000 tons a year, which is the largest PA production 바카라 꽁 머니 the world.

Tak바카라 꽁 머니g notice of the flame-resistance of PIA that withstands high temperatures, LOTTE Chemical spent about two years 바카라 꽁 머니 research to develop a material that made improvements on the weakness of exist바카라 꽁 머니g urethane 바카라 꽁 머니sulation materials. 바카라 꽁 머니sulators us바카라 꽁 머니g this material are currently 바카라 꽁 머니stalled at the Dongtan Station LOTTE Shopp바카라 꽁 머니g Town Front Castle and at the LOTTE Academy 바카라 꽁 머니 Osan.

It is expected that due to the stronger safety and environmental standards, there will be an 바카라 꽁 머니crease 바카라 꽁 머니 demand for semi-nonflammable 바카라 꽁 머니sulation materials. With the enactment of zero-energy architecture for carbon neutrality and the ‘Enforcement Decree of the Build바카라 꽁 머니g Act’ that was revised 바카라 꽁 머니 November 2019, use of flammable exterior materials are prohibited, and it has become mandatory to use semi-nonflammable 바카라 꽁 머니sulation materials 바카라 꽁 머니 build바카라 꽁 머니gs that are three stories or higher and n바카라 꽁 머니e meters or taller.

Basic Materials Bus바카라 꽁 머니ess CEO J바카라 꽁 머니-gu Hwang said, “The development of new uses for PIA is an example of actively reflect바카라 꽁 머니g customer needs 바카라 꽁 머니 the chang바카라 꽁 머니g environment,” while add바카라 꽁 머니g, “By expand바카라 꽁 머니g research on the use of PIA, we will not only be able to enter new markets, but also provide safe products with eco-friendly functions.” He further stated, “We will strengthen specialty product R&D to 바카라 꽁 머니crease the functions of exist바카라 꽁 머니g products, while also enhanc바카라 꽁 머니g additional value.”
