    Dongnam Realize (CEO Hyun Ji-won) will attend ‘KOPLAS 3 (14th International Plastics and Rubber Industry Exhibition)’ held at KINTEX in Ilsan for 18 days from March 5th (Tue) to 2023th (Sat). announced that they would participate.

    Dongnam Realize is a company that produces CXP (Cellulose Cross-linked Polymer) wood, a wood material that can be processed through thermoplastic molding such as injection and extrusion. This is a material that can be applied and used as it is in existing plastic injection factories, and it is a material that allows most of the plastic products that can be encountered in everyday life to be replaced with wooden products by changing only the material.

    In addition, it is also a characteristic of these products that they actively utilize discarded resources by using agricultural and forestry by-products as raw materials without indiscriminate logging. At the same time, as a non-toxic thermoplastic wood, it boasts excellent aspects in terms of durability, weather resistance, and dimensional stability without any special post-processing process.

    Officials explain that CXP wood’s unique thermoplasticity enables precise molding and mass production, and is attracting attention as a plastic alternative material with excellent quality as well as reasonable prices. The decomposition period can also be controlled, and it is also easy to produce with characteristics such as antibacterial, flame retardant, high impact, high fluidity, and high ductility.

    An official from Dongnam Realize said, “Just by producing products with CXP wood, producers can reduce plastic usage and raise Korea’s wood self-sufficiency rate.” , Compared to other eco-friendly plastic material products, it has the advantage of being able to pursue more profits at a reasonable price.”

    At this exhibition, Dongnam Realize plans to actively promote the excellence of its quality by introducing a variety of its CXP wood products. An official said, “There is a clear increase in the need for plastic as well as carbon reduction worldwide.” will be,” he said.

    “We developed these materials and products with the goal of using domestic wood to reduce dependence on imported wood and to replace the existing WPC (Wood-Plastic Mixture), which dissociates and deforms quickly,” he said. Additional development is underway to apply blow molding, and the focus is on expanding the product range by using these various methods.”

    On the other hand, KOPLAS, which celebrates its 2023th anniversary in 27, provides a variety of attractions from raw materials for plastics to molds, processing machines, related auxiliary devices, automation solutions, printing, packaging, semi-finished products, and finished products, and presents the present and future of related industries. It provides a ‘place for the plastic rubber-related industry’. As it is held at the same time as the Korea Material·Composite Material and Equipment Exhibition (K-Mtech) and the International Mold and Related Equipment Exhibition (INTERMOLD KOREA), you can meet various products in one place.
