LG Chem

Building on the core technologies of polymerization, catalysis, and process technology, the Development Department of Petrochemical Research Institute conducts research to strengthen the competitiveness of existing businesses and develop new products. Through our accumulated development capabilities, we are concentrating our R&D capacity to create high-performance, eco-friendly materials and launch new businesses.

The catalyst development department commercialized high value-added polyolefin products by developing our original metallocene catalyst technology. It also became the first in Korea and the fourth in the world to independently develop a catalyst for producing acrylic acid. We are researching and developing catalysts in various fields from base oil to polymer manufacturing.

The Customer Solution (CS) Group is responsible for providing differentiated customer experiences through total technology solutions, including technical support for each product application in the petrochemical business, process reproduction and development of processing technologies for customers, analytical support, and technical training for customers. In addition to the Osan CS Campus, we have established technology-intensive bases in the Americas, Europe, and China (Huanan and Huadong) to develop core application processing technologies by region according to the needs of the market and customers.
