• Blowing agent R&D
Elevating Kumyang's value
Kumyang Technology Research Center enhances Kumyang's future value by fostering human resource and developing core technologies
Over the past 40 years,
Kumyang R&D Center has been engaged in R&D in the field of fine chemicals, including blowing agents, and has played an important role in the growth of Kumyang as the world's best in the blowing agent market through the development of various types of functional blowing agents. Going forward, Kumyang R&D Center will do its best to create value and secure growth engines for the company by continuously cultivating talented people, strengthening core technologies in the field of blowing agents, and developing new items.
Research & Development of Kumyang R&D Center
The R&D Center is focusing on its R&D capabilities on advancing the core basic technology of chemical additives materials and creating new businesses for the future.
Relentless Research to Protect the Global Environment
R&D in Recycling
Kumyang's production processes are built on the foundation of sustainable growth, focusing on preserving the global environment. The scrap generated during product manufacturing causes environmental pollution and incurs high disposal costs. To manage this issue, Kumyang continuously conducts research aimed at 100% recycling of scrap materials.
Recycling R&D for Sustainable Growth
R&D in Recycling
Removing the blowing gas first to reuse scrap generated during the production process. Once the gas is removed, the scrap is finely powdered using a grinder, transforming it into reusable raw materials. Combined with Kumyang's specialized compounding technology, these recycled materials are reborn as new, high-quality raw materials. These raw materials are then used to manufacture various products through extrusion and injection molding. We are also committed to recycling products at the end of their lifecycle.
Recycling R&D for Sustainable Growth
E-BEAM Scrap
Kumyang's specialized compounding technology creates a new form of raw material that can produce high-quality products even when using more than 50% scrap.
Recycling R&D for Sustainable Growth
PVC + E-BEAM Scrap
By applying Kumyang's specialized compounding technology, we are significantly reducing the use of PVC, a major cause of environmental pollution, and conducting research to recycle waste PVC.
Research on highly functional eco-friendly blowing agents that are the basis of Kumyang
R&D in Blowing Agents
Since the R&D Center was founded in 1985, we have been striving to improve the functions of blowing agents continuously. We will continue to focus on research to develop eco-friendly, high-functional blowing agents suitable for the needs of the times and users.

Thermally Expandable High-Functional Special Blowing Agents
R&D in Capsule Blowing Agents
Capsule Blowing agents are thermally expandable physical blowing agents. They show beautiful and smooth surface of the foam, and the embossed surface is clear, compared to general decomposition chemical blowing agents. They are highly functional special blowing agents that can efficiently and easily process thin foams such as screen wallpaper. We are conducting research to improve the process of existing products, develop new synthesis methods, and diversify products by use.

The Most Common White Pigment
R&D in Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide is a bright white substance with a high refractive index, excellent covering capacity, and opacity. It gives paints, coatings, plastics, paper, ink, food products, medicines, and most toothpastes whiteness and covering capacity. Since dispersibility with resins and sunlight and weather resistance are important factors determining the quality level, we are researching to improve and diversify products that show excellent physical properties such as whiteness, covering capacity, and opacity, even under various conditions.
