[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Hyundai L&C is expanding its product lineup optimized for reducing noise between floors.

Hyundai L&C, a comprehensive building materials company affiliated with Hyundai Department Store Group, announced on the 15th that it will launch two new eco-friendly soundproof mats in the 'Popomi' series. Soundproof mats are functional flooring materials that reduce noise and impact during walking by applying a high-elasticity cushion layer.

The newly introduced Popomi series consists of two types: 'Popomi TPU,' a puzzle-type product that can be installed according to indoor space, and 'Popomi Play (PLAY),' a mat for playrooms in sheet form (2.3m wide by 1.4m long).

Popomi TPU applies thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material on the surface layer, making it more eco-friendly and durable compared to PVC soundproof mats on the market. Hyundai L&C maximized the noise reduction effect between floors by using ultra-high-density foam with high shock absorption as the mat filling material.

Usability has also been enhanced. The right-angle design minimizes gaps between mats to prevent dust or foreign substances from easily penetrating between the products. Additionally, air circulation channels were designed on the surface that contacts the floor to increase breathability, minimizing floor damage caused by moisture after installation.

The colors are available in soft gray and cream white, and customers can choose between 'self-installation,' where they receive the product and install it themselves, or 'professional installation,' where an expert visits to install it.

Popomi Play (PLAY) is a soundproof mat for playrooms, featuring two layers of high-elasticity cushion to enhance soundproofing and stability. It is eco-friendly, using non-toxic plasticizers (such as GL500), and finished with a special film on the surface for easy cleaning with a wet cloth, making it resistant to stains. It has also obtained KC certification related to children's safety products.

Popomi Play is released in four patterns that stimulate children's imagination: 'Save the Animal,' featuring endangered animals; 'Play Dino,' for children who love dinosaurs; 'On the Road,' depicting cars on the road; and 'Little Forest,' resembling a quiet natural forest.

Hyundai L&C is accelerating the expansion of its noise reduction product lineup not only with the Popomi series but also with other soundproof functional products such as 'Sorijium 5.0,' an upgraded soundproof flooring material that reduces noise between floors and everyday noise.

A Hyundai L&C official said, "Using soundproof mats not only reduces noise between floors but also reduces impact when walking and provides anti-slip effects, leading to steadily increasing demand from households with children, the elderly, and pets. We will continue to develop soundproof functional products tailored to consumer needs."
