[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Hyundai L&C, a comprehensive building materials company affiliated with Hyundai Department Store Group, announced on the 5th that it has launched the premium soundproof flooring material 'Sorijeum 5.0'.

Sorijeum 5.0 is a soundproof flooring material applied with a high-elasticity premium cushion layer, characterized by increasing the thickness by 0.5 mm compared to the existing product 'Sorijeum 4.5' to enhance soundproofing effect.

In addition, the upper layer (epidermis) strength is increased to be resistant to scratches and dents, and the 'BPN (British Pendulum Number)' index, which measures surface friction level, is 46, 15% higher than the domestic flat flooring standard (40 BPN), providing excellent anti-slip effect, according to the company.

It is also eco-friendly, having acquired environmental label certification from the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute and the Atopy Safety Mark from the Korea Atopy Association. It is safe as no heavy metals or phthalate-based plasticizers were detected, and it also has antibacterial functions against Staphylococcus aureus and pneumonia bacteria.

Especially, Sorijeum 5.0 is optimized for households with pets. The flooring surface is film-coated, making it difficult for pet urine to penetrate, thus easy to manage. Its excellent cushioning and anti-slip effects can also prevent patellar luxation in pets. It has also obtained the 'PS (Pet Product Safety Certification)' quality certification for pet products, supervised by the nationally accredited testing agency KOTITI Testing & Research Institute and the Korea Kennel Club.

Sorijeum 5.0 consists of a total of 11 types, including 4 square-shaped 'Stone·Marble' patterns such as 'Sage Marble' and 'Mild Travertine', and 7 wood patterns such as 'Mocha Ash' and 'Pale Ash'.

A Hyundai L&C official said, "Soundproof flooring materials that reduce noise and impact during walking are increasingly in demand in households sensitive to noise between floors, such as those with children or pets," adding, "We plan to continuously introduce various new products reflecting customers' lifestyles."
