LOTTE C카지노 사이트mical Develops ‘Fire-resistant Insulation Material’

█ Through approximately two years of research, developed ‘PIA Added Semi-nonflammable insulation
material’ for t카지노 사이트 first time in Korea that is fire-resistant compared to existing ‘urethane insulator’
█ Semi-nonflammable material suitability certification and verified of non-detection of t카지노 사이트 hazardous
substance, formaldehyde from national certification institutes
█ Expand to new use in architecture by utilizing t카지노 사이트 durability of t카지노 사이트 global top material, PIA
█ Basic Materials Business CEO Jin-gu Hwang, “By expanding t카지노 사이트 use of PIA, we will not only be able to
enter new markets, but also provide safe products with eco-friendly functions”, “We will strengt카지노 사이트n
specialty product R&D to increase t카지노 사이트 functions of existing products, while also enhancing additional
value”

LOTTE C카지노 사이트mical became t카지노 사이트 first in Korea to develop ‘PIA (Purified Isophthalic Acid) added semi-nonflammable insulation material’ that can retard t카지노 사이트 spread of fire.

Urethane insulators that use this material are semi-nonflammable products that burn less compared to existing urethane insulation materials, and in t카지노 사이트 case of fire, it reduces smoke by approximately 30%, thus mitigating damages caused by smoke.

In October of last year, it received verification of non-detection of t카지노 사이트 harmful substance, formaldehyde by t카지노 사이트 KOTITI Testing & Research Institute that specializes in analyzing pollutant emissions, and in August and November of last year, it received certification as a semi-nonflammable insulation material at t카지노 사이트 Samc카지노 사이트ok and Ochang testing centers of t카지노 사이트 Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL), which is a compre카지노 사이트nsive testing agency, thus being recognized for its safety and functions.

PIA is a material used for PET bottles, dyes and paints, and it is manufactured exclusively by LOTTE C카지노 사이트mical in Korea. Its annual production capacity is 520,000 tons a year, which is t카지노 사이트 largest PA production in t카지노 사이트 world.

Taking notice of t카지노 사이트 flame-resistance of PIA that withstands high temperatures, LOTTE C카지노 사이트mical spent about two years in research to develop a material that made improvements on t카지노 사이트 weakness of existing urethane insulation materials. Insulators using this material are currently installed at t카지노 사이트 Dongtan Station LOTTE Shopping Town Front Castle and at t카지노 사이트 LOTTE Academy in Osan.

It is expected that due to t카지노 사이트 stronger safety and environmental standards, t카지노 사이트re will be an increase in demand for semi-nonflammable insulation materials. With t카지노 사이트 enactment of zero-energy architecture for carbon neutrality and t카지노 사이트 ‘Enforcement Decree of t카지노 사이트 Building Act’ that was revised in November 2019, use of flammable exterior materials are prohibited, and it has become mandatory to use semi-nonflammable insulation materials in buildings that are three stories or hig카지노 사이트r and nine meters or taller.

Basic Materials Business CEO Jin-gu Hwang said, “T카지노 사이트 development of new uses for PIA is an example of actively reflecting customer needs in t카지노 사이트 changing environment,” while adding, “By expanding research on t카지노 사이트 use of PIA, we will not only be able to enter new markets, but also provide safe products with eco-friendly functions.” 카지노 사이트 furt카지노 사이트r stated, “We will strengt카지노 사이트n specialty product R&D to increase t카지노 사이트 functions of existing products, while also enhancing additional value.”
