Kumyang is a major player in the market for Blowing agents and is expanding its product portfolio with heat-expandable microspheres. The most significant aspect here is the combination of quality and environmental sustainability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One year ago, the Korean company, Kumyang, opened an office in Germany, in order to introduce its environmentally friendly propellants and additives in Europe. A new product is now being introduced: evolved, heat-expandable microspheres, which are particularly light and dispense with the combination of formamide and ammonia.This is achieved by using azodicarbonamide (ADC), a Blowing agents for the expansion of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) as well as natural and synthetic rubber.<\/p>\n

The ambitious goal of Kumyang is to win over market leaders in a variety of industries with a compelling mix, namely superior technology combined with very low cost and high performance. Four advantages make the company interesting for European customers: A customer-driven research and development department offers technical developments that meet customer needs. New process developments will also reduce costs. Kumyang guarantees optimum technical service for foam-forming propellants. Based on the claim think global act local, the company offers a global service in terms of communication and logistics. <\/p>\n

In Kumyang\u2019s R&D department, 23 highly skilled professionals worked to establish processes for the production of environmentally friendly heat-expandable microspheres and ADC products. The whole process consists of synthesis technology, setup of manufacturing processes, surface treatment technology and application. <\/p>\n

In a pilot project, the requirements for the production reactors were determined in the laboratory. The chemical process looks like this: A suspension which undergoes polymerisation is formed by mixing a water phase and an oil phase. After washing, filtering and drying, the heat-expandable microspheres are formed. <\/p>\n

Kumyang has developed a comprehensive analytical process by subjecting the manufactured expandable microspheres to a 12-step test procedure. For example, they are scanned, x-rayed, weighed and measured. Only the highest quality survives this test procedure.<\/p>\n

Kumyang has developed various core technologies in its sector. The expandable microspheres have been registered for nine patents and discussed in three scientific publications. <\/p>\n

Expandable microspheres are used in the manufacture of a wide variety of products,such as automotive, wine corks, footwear, wallpaper, flooring, and paints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
