DL Chemical announced on the 24th that it held a board meeting on the 23rd and approved the establishment of an in-house venture, 'Notark,' to lead the group's future innovation.


Notark originated from 'BTT (Break Through Team),' the advanced technology division of Kreton, which has been conducting innovative new material development projects completely different from existing business areas. DL Chemical is accelerating the promotion of new businesses that will lead the future by spinning off the division into an independent corporation.

Notark will start as a startup to enable rapid decision-making and speed up the commercialization of developed new materials. Vijay Meta, CTO of DL Chemical Group, has been appointed as CEO of Notark, with affiliated researchers joining the team.


Notark has developed a highly insulating circuit board (PCB) material resin called 'Notark,' used in ultra-high-speed communications and next-generation semiconductor packaging.


When electrical signals are transmitted to each component of a PCB, minor electrical signal loss occurs on the insulating board. The signal loss rate of this resin is more than 10 times better than commonly used epoxy resins. It is reported to meet the heat resistance and electrical resistance requirements demanded by next-generation 6G technology.


DL Chemical is undergoing performance verification with overseas PCB material companies for the commercialization of this product. To commercialize it, DL Chemical is considering establishing its own production facilities in the Northeast Asia region, where PCB and semiconductor manufacturers are concentrated.



Kim Jong-hyun, Vice Chairman of DL Chemical, said, "Based on the best technology, we are a company capable of proactively supplying differentiated materials essential for future industries," adding, "Starting with the establishment of Notark, we will transform into a truly technology-centered specialty company."
