SK Geo Centric will focus on presenting future high value-added chemical products, including Ethylene Acrylic Acid (EAA), Ionomer (I/O) and lightweight materials at Chinaplas 2024.

The theme of Chinaplas 2024 is “Smart Manufacturing, Advanced Materials and Eco-Friendly Recycling Solutions.”

SK Geo Centric will greet global customers with a display of next-generation chemical products. The 340 square meter exhibition booth is organized into three sectors: Tie & Sealing Solution, New Energy Solution, Lifestyle Solution and Advanced Solution.

The Tie & Sealing Solution and New Energy Solution sectors will demonstrate EAA and Ionomer as their core products. EAA, a high-value chemical product mainly utilized in packaging materials and industrial adhesives, has high applicability in many sectors and is expected to see significant expansion in the global market. In 2017 SK Geo Centric took over EAA plants in the United States and Spain, and is currently building a third EAA plant in China. In addition, the New Energy Solution sector would feature Polyolefin Elastomer (POE), which is known for its superior properties and thus used in solar photovoltaic power panels.

In particular, officials from SK Geo Centric said, “High Acid EAA used in recycled paper packaging, eco-friendly can coating and adhesive materials for battery is a unique technology of SK Geo Centric among other global competitors”. “SK Geo Centric would continue to expand its portfolios of high-value chemical products sought by global customers, including Primacor and Ionia.”

The Lifestyle Solution sector inside SK Geo Centric’s exhbition will display products that apply the “3R Solution”, which stands for Recycle, Reduce, and Replacement in terms of plastic. The sector includes not only UD tape, a lightweight material for vehicles that is lighter and stronger than traditional metals and plastics but also Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) which are used in home appliances, medical devices, and automobile parts. It would also feature a high-value product LOTRYL.

SK Geo Centric CEO Na Kyung-soo stated, “This year’s Chinaplas would serve as an opportunity for us to widely promote our competitiveness in high-value products and to introduce various solutions to global customers.
