Technology Guide
This section introduces Lotte Chemical’s production and processing technology and processes for each plant.
Established within the Research Institute in April 1993, the Analysis Support Service Department has been providing reliable analysis
information requested by the Institutes, plants, business divisions, and customers by conducting quality analysis on the composites,
analysis on the micro shapes and structures of polymers/additives and the measurement of physical properties.
In addition, the Department operates to ensure prompt and accurate research support through the realization of systematic integrated
management of analysis results, analysis training for customers and researchers, introduction of ultra-precision analysis equipment,
interchanges with overseas analysis centers, and capability enhancement of analysis researchers.
