Hanmir "Obtained Patent for Fire-Resistant Adhesive... Capable of On-Site Response to Serious Accident Act"

Patent Acquired for Manufacturing Fire-Resistant Insulation Panels
Eco-Friendly Materials... Withstands up to 1000℃
"Expected to Minimize Fire and Casualty Losses"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Hanmir, a ceramic new material specialist company, has obtained a patent for a manufacturing method of non-combustible insulation panels using non-combustible adhesive. Hanmir's non-combustible adhesive is expected to contribute to reducing human and property damage caused by fires in response to the recently enacted Serious Accidents Punishment Act.

A Hanmir official stated on the 31st, "The non-combustible adhesive technology was developed using silane, silicate, and silicon dioxide as main ingredients to withstand temperatures up to 1000℃," adding, "Through this patent, it can be applied not only in various industrial sites but also in the production of building materials and non-combustible sandwich panels."

Hanmir's non-combustible adhesive is produced mainly from special inorganic binders and fillers, and it is convenient to apply, making it suitable for various fields. The inorganic ceramic binder provides strong adhesion, and as the adhesive hardens, it secures strong water resistance.

Additionally, it is characterized by being made of eco-friendly materials as it does not contain 26 harmful substances including the eight major heavy metals and asbestos.

Recently, public interest in safety has increased due to casualties caused by toxic gases from the combustion of organic compound finishing materials at disaster sites such as large fires and safety accidents.

The government is also striving to reduce casualties by revising the Building Act to require that composite materials used in factories, warehouses, and multi-use facilities, including finishing materials, insulation materials, and composites, be made of materials with fire resistance performance equal to or higher than non-combustible materials, including core materials.

In particular, with the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act starting this month, there is a need for countermeasures to strengthen safety management in construction and industrial sites, and the non-combustible adhesive is attracting attention for its contribution to minimizing human and property losses caused by fires.

Han Seung-woo, CEO of Hanmir, said, "Through obtaining the patent for the manufacturing method of non-combustible insulation panels using non-combustible adhesive, we expect an increase in sales of the non-combustible adhesive along with the company's main product, the 'non-combustible coating agent.'"
