At ISK, research and development of inorganic chemicals are carried out in 2 locations in 2 headquarters, which are “R & D Strategy Headquarters” and “Battery Materials Industrialization Headquarters”. In R & D strategy headquarters, there are 3 divisions.
Titanium Dioxide Pigments R&D Division is responsible for developing new grades of titanium dioxide pigments, while Functional Materials R&D Division is in charge of developing new functional materials. These divisions are engaged in development and production engineering of new products in ISK's existing businesses by foreseeing customers' future requirement.
Material Technology R&D Division
is responsible for searching and innovating new materials
and technologies in new businesses for future ISK.
Researchers and engineers in R&D divisions are ISK's precious
source for global competitiveness and sustainable growth.
