Hyosung Chemical used the Fakuma 2026 plastics trade fair in Friedrichshafen, Germany, to position its POKETONE material for European automotive and robotics markets. The company presented the material from October 12 to 16, according to The Korea Times.

Material strategy moves beyond established uses

POKETONE is a high-performance plastic designed to resist impact, abrasion and chemical exposure. Its low moisture absorption helps components retain their shape and dimensions, while properties such as strength, wear resistance and flame retardancy can be adjusted for specific applications.

At the exhibition, Hyosung Chemical highlighted automotive connectors, gears, drive components and medical parts under the theme "Automotive, Robotics, Medical." The material is also being considered for service robots and humanoid machines, including joint gears and shaft supports exposed to repeated movement and friction.

Europe offers a market-entry platform

The company said Europe is important because of its established automotive and industrial equipment manufacturing base. Fakuma provided access to materials companies and European manufacturers, while a technical seminar scheduled for October 14 was intended to discuss broader POKETONE applications.

For investors, the presentation is primarily a business-development signal rather than a disclosed order or financial forecast. The reported applications could support Hyosung Chemical's specialty-materials ambitions if customer testing and commercial adoption follow, but the report does not quantify resulting sales or earnings.

Hyosung Chemical has said it wants to expand POKETONE in electric vehicles, robotics and other emerging industries. It also plans to work with industry partners and provide tailored technical support as manufacturers seek combinations of performance and sustainability.
