Hyosung Chemical to Attend 'Fakuma 2026' in Germany, Showcase EV and Robotics Materials
Showcasing applications of high-performance plastic POKETONE
Automotive connectors and robotic drive components on display
Hyosung Chemical is stepping up its efforts to enter the European market with POKETONE, a high-performance plastic material used in future industries such as electric vehicles and humanoid robots.
Hyosung Chemical said it will participate in Fakuma 2026, an international plastics processing exhibition taking place in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from October 12 to 16 local time.
POKETONE is a high-performance plastic material that resists impact, abrasion and chemicals, and has low water absorption, allowing it to maintain stable shape and dimensions. Its strength, abrasion resistance and flame retardancy can be enhanced to suit specific applications, making it a high-value specialty material attracting attention for use across a wide range of industries.
Its applications have recently expanded into robotics. It can also be used in components such as joint gears and shaft supports in humanoid robots, which must withstand repetitive movement and friction.
At the exhibition, Hyosung Chemical will showcase POKETONE applications in automotive connectors, gears and drive components, and medical components under the theme of "Automotive, Robotics and Healthcare." On October 14, it will hold a technical seminar to discuss ways to expand the range of POKETONE applications.
Europe has a well-developed manufacturing base in the automotive and industrial equipment sectors, creating strong demand for high-performance materials. Hyosung Chemical plans to expand the use of POKETONE, focusing on materials for future industries such as electric vehicles and robotics, and broaden its global market reach.
