Last April 18th at its Ulsan Factory, SK Chemical held a commemorative ceremony celebrating the export launch of its SKYGREEN PETG.SK Chemical’s production and sales of SKYGREEN PETG products is only second to Eastman Chemical of the U.S., which had been the world’s sole international supplier of PETG for the past 20 years. The environmentally friendly SKYGREEN PETG product is a multipurpose plastic resin that can replace Eastman PETG, PC, PMMA, PVC and transparent ABS. Being the latest and most splendid achievement of SK chemicals, this high-performance product has been successfully commercialized by the company’s own technology. SKYGREEN PETG had applied a new polymerization technology and facility to be competitive with existing Eastman brands. Furthermore, due to its superb thermal safety and processability, SK submitted patent applications to numerous advanced countries including U.S., Japan and other European nations. SKYGREEN PETG will be used in the value-added cosmetic bottle industry of the Taiwanese plastic bottle market.By providing a product portfolio suitable for various customer demands, and through close-contact CRM with prospective clients from Europe, the U.S. and Japan, as well as other Asian countries and beyond, SK Chemical expects to achieve a 30% market share in the international PETG market by the year 2002.
