Carbon Fiber

Hyosung Advanced Materials secured product competitiveness in the carbon fiber market in just a decade after the TANSOME® development.

With a goal of preempting the high-pressure vessel market and using it as a foundation, Hyosung Advanced Materials aims to leap forward as a global top-tier player.
To achieve this, we will dedicate ourselves to research and development, technological innovation, securing stable supply chains and providing customer satisfaction services.

Aramid

Aramid yarn, a high-strength fiber, is mainly used as a powerful reinforcement material in safety equipment, bulletproof vests, aircraft, automobiles, etc. It excels in heat, chemical resistance, friction and physical impact, possessing exceptional mechanical stability and durability. Additionally, it has a low density and high tensile strength, effectively contributing to its lightweightness and increased stiffness.

Particularly, the para-aramid produced by Hyosung Advanced Materials is used in bulletproof vests, helmets and protective gloves due to its high strength. This demonstrates excellent ballistic and armor solutions making it stand out not only in general industries but also in the defense industry.

Flat fabrics for airbags

Flat fabric for airbags consists of nylon 66 and polyester as raw materials and is a fabric manufactured with threads for airbags.

Since the body first comes in contact with airbag fabric if a collision occurs, it must be made with harmless and safe materials.

GST supplies customers with a wide range of flat fabrics and high-density, high-con products that require specially coated fabrics with exceptional techniques and ultimately ensures customers’ safety by producing airbags in different shapes for diverse purposes.

Airbag cushion

The airbag cushion is a flat fabric sewn and made into a cushion. These airbag cushions are installed in every vehicle to minimize injuries to passengers including the driver.

GST is qualified with outstanding techniques and stable production capabilities even in the development and commercialization of airbag cushions appropriate to the new concept of future mobility.

Airbag OPW (One piece woven)

OPW is a more evolved airbag cushion made with technology that allows the airbag to be inflated for a specific time to protect passengers in a vehicle rollover.

Rather than the conventional method of using silicone, GST uses major patented technology for OPW that inhibits gas permeation to the outer surface of the fabric by applying heat indirectly to the film. GST produces OPW that can more safely protect passengers by minimizing gas outflow and maximizing inflation time to protect passengers in a rollover. It is used in curtain airbags to protect passengers’ heads and shoulders.

Polyester yarn for seatbelts

Our polyester yarn for seat belts has superb quality such as strict appearance management, excellent abrasion resistance, and dyeability, and is produced diversely including low denier yarn and black spun dyed yarn. Our product is recognized for its quality and technology and is supplied to the world’s leading companies.

Airbag Yarn (PET, Nylon-66)

Our airbag yarn is “ultra-tensile” to protect the human body even in high explosives. It also has “high elongation” that withstands force and expansion from an explosion and outstanding “thermal resistance” that blocks high-temperature heat.

Ultra-tensile polyester and nylon 66 yarns are used for airbags as high tensile strength is required. The thickness and tensile strength of fabric can be adjusted depending on the size, shape, and use of airbags.

Recycled PET sewing thread

Hyosung Advanced Materials developed recycled PET sewing thread made with plastic bottle wastes and supplies the product to manufacturers of well-known sports brands.

Fine denier yarn

Hyosung Advanced Materials developed fine denier yarn that is thin but boasts high tenacity. Most companies are hesitant to produce sewing threads due to low production compared to investments. But we took on this challenge with the mindset that “there will be an opportunity along the path not taken by others.” Now we are headed toward being ranked first in the global market share by expanding our factories in China.

Hyosung Advanced Materials produced the first Tirecords in Korea in 1968.

We have since evolved into the best company developing, producing, and supplying both textile and steel cords for tire reinforcement through great strides.

PET Tirecord

PET Tirecord is used as a raw materials of carcass which functions as the structure of tire, provide the strength to contain the inflation pressure and so on.

Hyosung Advanced Materials’ PET Tirecords are maintaining an unchallenged position as they are supplied to globally distinguished tire one out of two passenger cars in the world uses tire cord produced by Hyosung Advanced Materials, demonstrating our unrivaled position in the sector.

And We also produce the N66 tirecord, Steelcord, Beadwire.

Floor mats

Floor mats are one of the auto parts that are installed on top of the floor frame structures of vehicles. These carpets allow a comfortable ride while driving, function as a cushion, reduce noise and vibration, and absorb shock.

Hyosung Advanced Materials' floor mats are made with BCF yarn and have excellent durability. They are capable of being lightweight with superb sound absorption and insulation due to their excellent bulkiness. Their superior quality is recognized and supplied to automobile manufacturers in Korea and overseas.

Optional mats

Optional mats, placed on top of floor mats, prevent the floor mats from being soiled with dust and humidity which are used until the vehicle reaches the end of its useful life. These mats also lessen foot fatigue while driving and also improve the interior. Optional mats are mostly made with nylon BCF yarns.

Hyosung Advanced Materials manufactures the best optional mats with outstanding materials and accumulated techniques through long partnerships with automobile manufacturers.

Swan Carpet

Since its inception in 1993, Swan Carpet has been the best carpet specialist brand with the largest market share in Korea including commercial carpets equipped with their own production facilities to produce everything from yarn to finished products.
