OCSiAl Asia Pacific Celebrates the Success of the Korean Pavilion at Nano Tech Japan 2017

The recent Nano Tech show in Japan was a huge success for OCSiAl Asia Pacific, whose booth was located in the Korean pavilion area along with its five partners: DUKSAN Pure Chemicals, Grace Continental Korea (GCK), Trust Chem Corporation, COMPA (Commercialization Promotion Agency for R&D Outcomes) and Next Generation Co Ltd.

With a large number of active business talks being held during the course of the 3-day show, which started on 15 February, OCSiAl Asia Pacific’s booth was the highlight of the Korean Pavilion. More than 150 business leaders from Japanese and overseas corporations visited the OCSiAl Asia Pacific booth, which is a reflection of the rapidly growing interest in the company’s TUBALL single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and all the new “Industrial Applications with SWCNT”.

Among these new applications is a series of conductive silicone PSA, HCR and LSR, which OCSiAl Asia Pacific revealed jointly with one of its partners, Grace Continental Korea (GCK). GCK was the first company to develop conductive silicone PSA with resistivity in the range 10 5 –10 6 Ω·cm, while still allowing transparency or colour to be retained!

Another exciting new product from GCK is colourable conductive HCR. With the range of resistivity also being 10 5 –10 6 , the key benefits of such rubber are its pigmentability and its wide service temperature, which makes it suitable for the moulding process. Applications include silicone rollers, conductive sheets, gaskets, profiles for electronics (colourable), cable elements (colourable) and other conductive parts.

Another partner of OCSiAl Asia Pacific, DUKSAN Pure Chemicals, showcased a series of TUBALL-based suspensions that are used for coatings, paints, primers and other industrial applications. Among DUKSAN’s “winner” applications is foil that is coated with TUBALL nanotubes. Coatings made with these high-purity SWCNT allow for better surface smoothness and thinner foil layers, which ultimately improves battery quality, extends battery life and reduces impedance.

It was not only business leaders who showed great interest in the industrial applications of SWCNT from OCSiAl Asia Pacific. The company and its partners were also introduced in the Amenews website, which focuses on new materials and the economy. The Commercial Director of OCSiAl Asia Pacific, Mr Kim Youngsup, briefed reporters on the latest innovative solutions from each partner company.
