Established in 2000, UNIENCE Co., Ltd. leads the domestic industry of halogen free flame retardant (HFFR) compounds for wire and cable sheath. The company has acquired international certifications such as ISO 9001 (quality management system), ISO 14001 (environmental management system, and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management system). With its own R&D center, it is constantly enhancing its product-development capabilities to meet customer requirements. It has continuously developed new materials tailored to the specific needs and standards of its clients abroad.
Through the technical expertise accumulated over the past two decades, the firm has delivered high-performance solutions that consistently meet and exceed customer expectations. Featuring excellent flame retardancy and mechanical properties, its products and solutions are being supplied to a wide range of international clients. In recognition of its export achievements, it was honored by the Korean government by winning the 20 Million Dollar Export Tower Award at the 58th Trade Day in 2022.
UNIENCE’s halogen-free flame-retardant compounds have successfully entered the North American and Middle Eastern markets. The company is also maintaining strong business relationships across Southeast Asia, South America, and other global regions. These compounds are widely used in cable-sheathing applications.
The firm’s product portfolio includes products based on ethylene-ethyl acrylate (EEA) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) that comply with IEC 60332-3-22 CAT-A and IEC 60332-3-24 CAT-C flame retardancy standards, as well as flame-retardant (FR)-thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds that can comply UL 94 V-0 for flame resistance. These materials are utilized in cables for a wide range of industries, including construction, railway systems, electric vehicles, vessels, aircraft, robotics, URD cables, and drilling applications.
High-End HFFR Compounds for Wire and Cable
Unlike the aluminum hydroxide (ATH)-type compounds, UNIENCE’s magnesium hydroxide (MDH)-type HFFR compounds offer excellent processability during extrusion, thus enabling higher line speeds and reduced electrical load during production. This leads to lower fixed manufacturing costs and improved overall efficiency. Furthermore, their high elongation properties provide exceptional crack resistance, minimizing defect rates and enhancing product reliability.
The maker’s flame-retardant TPU compounds have received globally recognized UL-certification and passed the VW-1 test, affirming their outstanding performance characteristics. With superior mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, these materials are well-suited for harsh environments and are gaining competitiveness in high-performance applications such as robotics and aerospace. Additionally, the company has successfully developed a new cross-linked product, FX-2, a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) compound. FX-2 offers comparable performance at a more competitive price.
