Hankook C&S, a chemical product manufacturing company, is the first company in Korea to successfully localize tire release agents. ‘Tire release agent’ is a chemical substance that eases the sticky nature of the rubber surface of a tire to easily remove the tire from the mold and helps the processing process to proceed smoothly.

Hankook C&S, a specialized Korean chemical manufacturing company, was established in 1978 and started as a Korean agency for US lubricant additives. Afterwards, Hankook C&S jumped into the manufacturing market with a strategy to develop and sell products containing technology.

In order to turn to the manufacturing industry, Hankook C&S sought out various chemical product technicians at home and abroad to secure technological prowess. Starting with the development of tire release agents and special paints, the company succeeded in developing tire mold patterning rubber products used in tire mold manufacturing.

Hankook C&S achieved an import substitution effect by localizing all products that domestic companies used to depend on imports. Hankook C&S, which has expanded its sales area nationwide based on its technological prowess, is exporting tire release agents and synthetic rubber products to China, Taiwan, Romania, etc. An official said, "Currently, our exports to sales account for 25%, which is a high level. We are also planning to enter the Indian and European markets.“

Hankook C&S, a Korean chemical product manufacturer that is growing every year, cited R&D as the secret to its growth. Hankook C&S official said "We invests more than 8% of its annual sales in R&D, and plans to recruit more manpower to develop new products in addition to its main products, such as tire release agents, special paints, and tire mold patterning rubber products.”
