[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Murim P&P announced on the 8th that it participated in 'Nano Korea 2021' held at KINTEX in Ilsan and showcased next-generation eco-friendly new materials. Nano Korea 2021 is the largest domestic nano technology exhibition hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Science and ICT.

At this exhibition, Murim P&P introduced the eco-friendly new material 'Nanocellulose.' Nanocellulose is a material made by breaking down cellulose fibers extracted from pulp into nanometer size (about one billionth of a meter). Its weight is only one-fifth that of iron of the same size, but its strength is about five times stronger. The company explained that it has excellent thermal stability and can be applied to various industries such as automobiles.

The company exhibited various products that can apply nanocellulose. These include functional cosmetics utilizing the high viscosity and moisturizing properties of nanocellulose, pharmaceutical and food packaging films that block oxygen and moisture penetration, and automobile interior materials.

They also showcased 'Pulp Mold,' a material recently attracting attention in the food container industry. Murim P&P’s pulp mold, made from natural pulp, contains no environmental hormones and does not use PE coating, making separation and recycling easy. It is resistant to water and oil, allowing hygienic storage of various foods, and has the advantage of being microwave-safe.

The company will begin full-scale production of pulp molds from the second half of this year. To this end, it is establishing the largest pulp mold production facility in Korea at its Ulsan plant.

A Murim P&P official said, "Through the exhibition, we wanted to convey the meaning that the company is an eco-friendly material company that adds value to everyday life," and added, "We planned a booth with an eco-friendly eco-shop concept to focus on delivering sustainable value to visitors."
