Samyang Corporation launched flame-retardant polycarbonate, which was tested by SGS and proved that no harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds were detected. This will help it expand into global markets.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds are artificial substances composed of carbon and fluorine that have excellent thermal stability, water resistance, and oil resistance. It has long been used in various industrial fields such as electrical and electronic products, food packaging materials, cosmetics, fiber products, and fire-fighting supplies.
