Next-generation solution

Recycled PET Tire cord

HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS has produced PET Tire cords using eco-friendly materials such as mechanical recycled PET and chemical recycled PET which developed by it through the use of raw materials extracted from waste PET bottle.

1) Mechanical Recycled PET – PET recycled through the physical reprocessing of waste PET bottles after washing and crushing them
2) Chemical Recycled PET – PET recycled through the chemical reprocessing of waste PET bottles, i.e., de-polymerization using high temperature and pressure.

Bio-Based PET Tire cord

with Bio-based materials extracted from natural sources such as sugar and corns instead of crude oil based materials as a raw material of PET.

Bio-Based PET Tire cord is an eco-friendly material that reduce CO2 emissions compare to Petro-PET Tire cord.

Bio-Based Nylon Tire cord

HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS produces nylon tire cords using bio-based materials derived from natural sources, replacing conventional fossil fuel-based raw materials.

Bio-Based Nylon Tire cord is an eco-friendly material that reduce CO2 emissions compare to Petro-Nylon Tirecord.

Lyocell Tire cord

The Lyocell Tire cord developed based on HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS’ proprietary technology is gaining attention as a material that can replace the Rayon Tire cord.

The Lyocell Tire cord, made from plant-based materials such as wood pulp, can be produced through an environmentally friendly manufacturing process compared to the Rayon Tire cord.

About the Products

Steel cord

It is a product often used for belts and carcasses of tires that enhances the tensile strength of tires, withstands impact from the surface of the road, functions as the framework of tires, and supports against the load imposed from the exterior.

Application

Tire Belt, Carcass

Bead wire

Bead wire secures the carcass which withholds the internal pressure of the tire from the vehicle’s weight. It fastens the tire in place to the rim and is crucial in maneuvering drives, brakes, and steering torque to the road surface.

Application

Passenger car, light truck, Bus, OTR Tire cord

Applications

Tire reinforcement materials for passenger cars

Carcass, capply, and bead part reinforcement materials

Tire reinforcement materials for light trucks

Carcass, capply, and bead part reinforcement materials

Tire reinforcement materials for trucks/buses

Bead part reinforcement materials, etc.

Others

Reinforcing materials for OTR, Motorcycle, Bike, etc

Global No.1 UT steel cord supplier

Our ultra-tensile (UT) steel cord is ranked first place in the global market share, and the development of new UT specifications is in progress with global tire manufacturers due to the rising demand for UT steel cords for lightweight tires resulting from the growing EV market.

Growing need for the development of new UT steel cords for lightweight tires as the EV market expands

Developed UT steel cord with new specifications and secured production technology

Increased market share through the development of new UT specifications

Next-generation solution

Steel cord & Bead wire

Wire rod, the main raw material of steel cord & bead wire, uses iron ore and coke as raw materials when produced in the conventional blast furnace method. This results in high carbon emissions due to the chemical reaction between these two materials during the production process.

Eco-friendly Electric Furnace Wire Rod uses scrap metal as a raw material, resulting in low carbon emissions. HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS develops and supplies eco-friendly electric furnace wire rod products.
