Katech H Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeong Jin-ho) won the grand prize in the carbon fiber composite material recycling category at the Money Today ‘2021 Korea Innovation Awards’.
The 2021 Korea Innovation Awards were established to praise and encourage the contributions of innovative companies such as technology, management, and products, in line with the government’s efforts to overcome the economic downturn and the current time when pan-national participation is required.
CATECH H (CEO Jeong Jin-ho), a carbon fiber composite material recycling company, has transferred technology for ‘carbon fiber composite material (CFRP) recycling technology’ with KIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) through continuous research cooperation over the past three years to produce high-quality recycled carbon. It has the technology to recover fibers and epoxy.
Carbon fiber is a high-tech material that is attracting attention as the ‘rice of the future industry’ to replace iron. It is 4 times lighter than iron and 10 times stronger, and can be applied to all products that use iron as a key material for the transition to the hydrogen economy. is being popularized as
In particular, Korea has declared the ‘Hydrogen Economy Era’ and plans to produce 6.2 million units by 2040 for the hydrogen car era, and the most important part here is the hydrogen tank made of carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a composite material composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resin, and is used as an essential raw material in the overall industries such as aerospace, automobiles, ships, household goods, and sporting goods such as helmets and skis. Currently, automobiles in Australia and Europe , is under discussion for parts and materials in the aerospace field.
“In the B2B business structure, a two-way business in the form of collecting waste carbon fiber, processing it, and re-supplying it is possible,” said CEO Jeong Jin-ho of Cartech H. We will create a global standard for recycling textile composite materials.”
