LG Chem, with 'HRTP,' Sweeps 'Chinaplas 2026' [[TERM_012]] Excellence Awards… High-Value-Added [[TERM_017]] [[TERM_020]] Achievements Shine<\/div>\n

LG Chem proved its unique technical prowess on the global stage by winning the ‘Top 10 Technology’ Excellence Award with its specialty PVC [[TERM_017]] ‘HRTP (Heat-resistant and Recyclable Thermal Plastic)’ at Chinaplas 2026, a global [[TERM_003]] and rubber exhibition. This [[TERM_018]] is the only achievement by a Korean participating company, clearly demonstrating that LG Chem’s strategy to shift its [[TERM_015]] [[TERM_021]] from general-purpose products to high-value-added, high-functional [[TERM_017]]s is leading to tangible results.<\/p>\n

Global Technical Prowess Proven with ‘Chinaplas 2026’ [[TERM_012]] Excellence Award<\/h2>\n

LG Chem was honored with the ‘Top 10 Technology’ Excellence Award for HRTP, a [[TERM_022]] [[TERM_017]], at the world-renowned ‘Chinaplas 2026’. This is the only achievement by a Korean participating company amidst fierce [[TERM_011]], signifying that LG Chem’s strategy of [[TERM_015]] [[TERM_021]] [[TERM_020]] centered on high-value-added, high-functional [[TERM_017]]s has been recognized in the global [[TERM_016]]. Notably, HRTP has reaffirmed its innovativeness by receiving recognition for its [[TERM_012]] competitiveness for two consecutive years, following its selection as ‘Innovation of the Year’ at ‘Chinaplas 2025’ last year.<\/p>\n

The judging panel cited HRTP’s ultra-high polymer material, which exhibits outstanding performance in various aspects including [[TERM_007]], [[TERM_004]], and [[TERM_001]], as a key reason for the [[TERM_018]]. They noted its robust foundation, making it applicable to demanding application areas such as [[TERM_009]] charging cables that require advanced [[TERM_012]]. This suggests that HRTP can establish itself as a [[TERM_010]] solution that not only offers superior [[TERM_017]] but also meets the [[TERM_022]] requirements of the [[TERM_014]] [[TERM_016]].<\/p>\n

[[TERM_023]] [[TERM_017]] ‘HRTP’ Expected to Play a [[TERM_022]] Role in [[TERM_014]] [[TERM_016]]s, Including [[TERM_009]] and [[TERM_013]]<\/h2>\n

HRTP is a specialty [[TERM_017]] based on PVC, which was previously considered a general-purpose [[TERM_017]]. It simultaneously achieves stringent [[TERM_005]], [[TERM_007]], and durability, meeting the demands of rapidly growing [[TERM_010]] industries such as [[TERM_009]] and [[TERM_013]]. This [[TERM_017]] can be applied in various high-performance fields, including [[TERM_009]] charging cables and high-heat-resistant [[TERM_019]] for automobiles and robots. Notably, it is expected to significantly contribute to the advancement of [[TERM_014]] mobility and the [[TERM_016]] [[TERM_008]] sector, by providing approximately 30% improved [[TERM_007]] compared to existing [[TERM_017]]s and ensuring stable performance even in high-voltage and high-temperature environments.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, HRTP boasts a soft touch and excellent [[TERM_001]], drawing attention as an effective alternative to expensive other [[TERM_017]]s in the automotive [[TERM_002]] and seat [[TERM_016]]s. This [[TERM_017]] exhibits high performance without chemical cross-linking and is also recyclable, earning it recognition as a high-value-added solution that satisfies all three [[TERM_022]] values: high functionality, [[TERM_006]], and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Eco-friendly Packaging ‘UNIQABLE\u2122’ Also Receives an [[TERM_018]]… Leading the [[TERM_016]] with Sustainable High-Value-Added [[TERM_017]]s<\/h2>\n

In addition to HRTP, LG Chem also received an Excellence Award for its eco-friendly packaging [[TERM_017]] ‘UNIQABLE\u2122’, demonstrating its technical prowess in various fields. UNIQABLE\u2122 is an example of LG Chem’s [[TERM_017]] portfolio expansion, simultaneously meeting high functionality and sustainability in diverse [[TERM_016]] areas such as consumer goods packaging. The judging panel highly praised UNIQABLE\u2122 for significantly contributing to reducing [[TERM_003]] usage and showing leading performance in environmental protection and commercialization.<\/p>\n

These consecutive [[TERM_018]]s prove that LG Chem is successfully transitioning the [[TERM_021]] of its petrochemical [[TERM_015]] from general-purpose products to high-value-added [[TERM_017]]s. Moving forward, LG Chem plans to continuously strengthen its customer-value-based [[TERM_017]] competitiveness, focusing on [[TERM_014]] growth [[TERM_016]]s such as [[TERM_009]], [[TERM_013]], mobility, electrics and electronics, and industrial materials. Through this, it is expected to further solidify its position as a company leading the global [[TERM_016]] with sustainable solutions and innovative [[TERM_012]].<\/p>\n

LG Chem’s ‘Chinaplas 2026’ [[TERM_012]] Excellence Award [[TERM_018]] goes beyond a mere achievement; it clearly demonstrated that the [[TERM_015]] transition to high-value-added specialty [[TERM_017]]s is a [[TERM_022]] strategy for securing global competitiveness. The success of HRTP and UNIQABLE\u2122 proves that LG Chem is relentlessly pursuing [[TERM_023]] for a sustainable [[TERM_014]], and it is expected to establish itself as a leader in anticipating future [[TERM_016]] changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
