The R&D Institute carries out research and development to help Micro-one Co., Ltd. grow into an integrated environmental solutions provider in Korea and worldwide.
We focus on developing high-performance materials and new products for reducing airborne fine dust and harmful gases, delivering innovative technology solutions, and are extending this work to other environmental fields such as water treatment.
Building on our core PTFE material technology to expand its industrial applications, we develop high-performance, multifunctional materials that are already in use at industrial sites.
The Institute identifies problems through extensive testing and precise analysis, and proposes solutions based on objective scientific data.
In this way, we meet customer needs with more efficient, eco-friendly solutions and build Micro-one's proprietary technology along a planned roadmap.
Membrane Research
The Membrane Research Team has developed core ePTFE material technology to improve membrane quality and performance, and focuses its R&D on expanding into new industrial fields through composite materials.
Through testing and analysis, we develop membranes suited to each industry and keep improving their performance. By identifying root causes and proposing data-based solutions, we support the production of high-quality membranes tailored to each customer.
