[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Huvis announced on the 15th that it has signed a business agreement with the Korea Textile Smart Process Institute for the "Development and Commercialization of Cooling Composite Functional Materials."

The signing ceremony was attended by key officials from both organizations, including Park Sung-yoon, Head of Huvis R&D Center, and Jeon Seong-gi, Director of the Korea Textile Smart Process Institute. The Korea Textile Smart Process Institute supports the establishment of materials, design, and dyeing and finishing technologies for textiles used in daily life and industry, as well as discovering and supporting various R&D technology exchanges.

According to the agreement, the two organizations will collaborate to create high added value in the cooling material industry through △ product research and development using cooling composite functional materials △ development of production technologies such as design, weaving, and dyeing and finishing technologies △ cooperation in evaluating the performance of cooling materials.

Huvis is strengthening its lineup of premium cooling materials such as ‘Duralon,’ a PE (polyethylene) fiber that provides a cool sensation upon contact, and ‘Siwon,’ which has excellent cooling properties and UV protection capabilities. In particular, last month, Huvis succeeded in developing and commercializing ‘Duralon-Plus,’ a cooling material specialized for clothing and bedding, by modifying the physical properties and strength of the existing Duralon. Additionally, Huvis is accelerating R&D to apply various colors and minimize transparency and other additional functions to Duralon-Plus.

Park Sung-yoon, Head of Huvis R&D Center, said, “Through this agreement with the Korea Textile Smart Process Institute, we expect to meet diverse customer demands in the domestic and international cooling fiber markets and significantly enhance competitiveness in cooling composite functional material products.”
