Kumho Polychem

About Us

Kumho Polychem is the Korea’s largest EPDM maker located in the Yeosu National Petrochemical Industry Complex. Starting with the newly built plant of 10,000-ton capacity in 1987 as well as through the 3rd expansion in which an ultralow temperature polymerization technology developed by the company was applied and with the construction and the operation of the 2nd plant in 2013, the company has grown to become the Asia’s largest and world’s 3rd largest EPDM maker with a 220,000-ton capacity per year. In addition, aiming to become the “world’s best EPDM maker,” the company will provide EPDM with the best prices through continuous expansion based on cost competitiveness, accumulated sales capabilities, and the upper hand in accessing the new markets in Asia.

KEPA 1130

Polymer Name:Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polymer, Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
Density:880.0 - 880.0 kg/m³

KEPA 1130 is a special polymer rubber of the ethylene-propylene EPDM, consisted mainly with single molecular chain structure, grafted with maleic anhydride. It is superior in the resistances against heat, ozone, and weather, also shows excellent characteristic of the impact strength in low temperature as it is constituted with amorphous rubber.

KEP® 2060

Polymer Name:Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)

KEP® 2060 produced by Kumho Polychem is a highly functional special synthetic rubber that is mainly used for automotive parts and has excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and chemicals. With a lower specific gravity compared with other synthetic rubbers, it can be applicable for high-filling mixing, meaning it has a high economic feasibility.

KEP® 435

Polymer Name:Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
Additives Included:Scorch Resistant

KEP® 435 produced by Kumho Polychem is a highly functional special synthetic rubber that is mainly used for automotive parts and has excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and chemicals. With a lower specific gravity compared with other synthetic rubbers, it can be applicable for high-filling mixing, meaning it has a high economic feasibility.

INNOPRENE 1350

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Glazing & Window Elements, Data Communication Cables
Product Families:Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV), Thermoplastic Elastomers
Polymer Name:Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV)
End Uses:Cup Holders, Speciality Cables, Protective Coverings

INNOPRENE 1350 is a product that is already completely cross-linked and there is no need for an extra cross-link process before its ultimate use. Also, it is possible to simplify the processes and reduce the prime cost as it is an environment-friendly material allowing for an easy recycle of scraps resulted from processing.

KEP® 070P

Polymer Name:Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
Processing Methods:Injection Molding

KEP® 070P produced by Kumho Polychem is a highly functional special synthetic rubber that is mainly used for automotive parts and has excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and chemicals. With a lower specific gravity compared with other synthetic rubbers, it can be applicable for high-filling mixing, meaning it has a high economic feasibility.

KEP® 020P

Polymer Name:Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
Processing Methods:Injection Molding

KEP® 020P produced by Kumho Polychem is a highly functional special synthetic rubber that is mainly used for automotive parts and has excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and chemicals. With a lower specific gravity compared with other synthetic rubbers, it can be applicable for high-filling mixing, meaning it has a high economic feasibility.

KEP® 110

Polymer Name:Ethylene Propylene Copolymer

KEP® 110 produced by Kumho Polychem is a highly functional special synthetic rubber that is mainly used for automotive parts and has excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and chemicals. With a lower specific gravity compared with other synthetic rubbers, it can be applicable for high-filling mixing, meaning it has a high economic feasibility.

INNOPRENE 1450

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Glazing & Window Elements, Data Communication Cables

KEPA

KEPA is made by partially reforming EP(D)M properties through a process of grafting functional materials such as MAH(Maleic Anhydride) to EP(D)M. This leads to the improvement of its affinity with polar macromolecular compounds. It is used as an impact modifier and compatibilizer for polar resin.

INNOPRENE

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Glazing & Window Elements, Data Communication Cables, Building Wires & Power Cables, Other Electrical & Electronics Applications, Sports & Recreation, Other Consumer Goods Applications, Interior Fixtures, Other Automotive & Transportation Applications, Other Automotive Applications, Interior, Pipes & Hoses, Agricultural Films, Building Materials, Wire & Cable, Building Envelope & Roofing, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing, Automotive, Building Envelope
Product Families:Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV), Thermoplastic Elastomers
Polymer Name:Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV)
End Uses:Cup Holders, Speciality Cables, Protective Coverings, Hoses, Flexible Grips, Covers, Cables, Automotive Interior Parts, Tubes, Gaskets

Various innoprene products supplied by Kumho Polychem Co.,Ltd. are thermoplastic elastomers of polyolefin type, and they can replace the existing thermosetting products of EP(D)M or CR rubber. The material is also able to replace soft PVC that is recently being discussed for its environmental problems. Moreover, the material is of low weight, therefore it is possible to develop light-weighted products. Innoprene is a product that is already completely cross-linked and there is no need for an extra cross-link process before its ultimate use. Also, it is possible to simplify the processes and reduce the prime cost as it is an environment-friendly material allowing for an easy recycle of scraps resulted from processing. Innoprene is possible to mold using devices of extrusion molding, injection molding, blow molding and calendar processing as in normal plastic resin. Especially, it is among the new materials that are possible to apply in extrusion area. (automobile glass run channel and construction window gasket etc)
