filter Products
Woongjin Chemical produces various types of filters such as RO, nF and UF which are mainly used for
seawater desalination, waste water recycling and deionized water manufacturing, as well as MF used for water
treatment and processing. Among our RO filters, the FRM (Fouling Resistance Membrane) is well received
in the world, while BW (Brackish Water), UpW (Ultra pure Water) and sW (seawater Desalination) products
are also manufactured. Focus is given to development and production of seawater with high flow volume
membranes, high boron rejection sW membranes, 16-inch products, products with low-voltage and high salt
rejection rates to save costs for operation and installation. As for the MF filter, high-capacity and high-volume
products are produced to meet the market needs. Anti-bacterial and anti-microorganism membrane filters for
food and beverage production, as well as for the medical field, are also manufactured.
SWM (Seawater Desalination Membrane)
sWM provides an answer to the
water scarcity crisis the world is
currently experiencing by convert-
ing seawater to potable water. It
not only reduces salinity but also
removes possible harmful sub-
stances while being cost-effective
compared to other desalination
methods.
FrM (Fouling resistant Membrane)
frM, a product developed with ad-
vanced membrane technologies,
has high organic fouling resistant
properties which protects the mem-
brane from fouling against hydro-
phobic matters such as oil and or-
ganisms. Due to this characteristic,
fouling resistance to waste water
containing high concentrations of
organisms has been much improved
compared to previous models.
FILTErS FOr ELECTrONICS
Woongjin Chemical was the first
Korean company that developed
micro filters needed for semicon-
ductor processing and the pharma-
ceutical industry. Building on our
30-year long polymer synthesis
technology and sophisticated qual-
ity control system, we are able to
produce quality products with high
removal efficiency and an extend-
ed life cycle.
INDuSTrIAL FILTErS
Our industrial filters are made of
materials such as polypropylene,
polysulfone, nylon and PTfE, meet-
ing a range of customer needs from
water treatment to chemical purifi-
cation. Due to their high chemical
resistance and low extractability,
these filters are very effective in
improving the process yield ratio
and reducing technical difficulties
or breakdown while in use at the
production lines.
CSM MF
Woongjin Chemical produces a wide range of micro filters from car-
tridges to mini and capsule types. With various filter materials includ-
ing polypropylene and Teflon, we can provide products that best suit
our customers’ needs. While we were developing our rO membranes,
we achieved the know-how to produce micro filters that remove par-
ticles at micro-levels of 0.1-100㎛. Our micro filters are used by the
electronics, semiconductor, fine chemicals, automobile, and petro-
chemical companies that manufacture products with high purity.
CsM’s rO membranes include the frM (fouling resistant Mem-
brane) and sWM (seawater Desalination Membrane). They are poly-
amide thin film composite membranes which are widely used both
domestically and abroad due to their high rejection rates and high
flow rates. They are used for home purifiers, industrial pure water,
ultrapure water for manufacturing of semiconductors, and seawater
desalination. These membranes are especially used to purify sewage
and industrial waste water.

A master plan for technological development was established to improve competitiveness in strategic ar-
eas such as environment, energy and advanced materials. We are building on this master plan to develop
alternative energy part materials to lay the foundation for new business opportunities and furthermore, to
pursue R&D activities in the fine chemical and biotechnology sectors in the mid-and long-term.
The r&d institute
The R&D Institute in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do has strengthened its capability to
develop cutting-edge chemical material since its consolidation with the
previous Material Research Institute in 2008. The Institute focuses on explor-
ing new businesses in the environment and energy sectors and developing
future oriented new technologies. Supplied with new and diverse experiment
equipments and cutting-edge sophisticated pilot equipments, and by secur-
ing competent human resources, the Institute has become a core power en-
gine for Woongjin Chemical. It is especially focusing its ceaseless efforts to
developing polymerization and processing technologies for new polymer,
textiles, membrane materials, sophisticated display materials, and manufac-
turing and processing technologies for the next generation energy part mate-
rials so as to commercialize the technologies in an early manner.
The production Technology research Centers
The Production Technology Research Centers located at Gumi PlantⅠandⅡ
and the Anseong Plant are committed to securing the technology foundation
to expand the existing business areas including fiber, textile, filter and display
materials and to realizing customer value through the development of new
products.

Ethical management to become a respected
and trusted company
Only ethical companies can earn the trust of customers and customer’s trust is the very
source of corporate competitiveness. Considering this, ethical management is a must
for sustainable growth and survival. Woongjin Chemical has strategically strengthened
its ethical management to be a global chemical material company growing together
with its stakeholders. All management and employees will put corporate ethics in prac-
tice and develop them into a unique corporate culture.
- Establishing infrastructure to practice ethical management
Woongjin Chemical has a business-wide ethical management system with the Ethics
Committee under the Ethical Management Bureau and responsible units by each busi-
ness divisions are operated. Ethics regulations, codes of conduct and practical guide-
lines are also drawn up and distributed to help all employees practice ethics. In April
2008, we announced our strong commitment to ethical management by holding the Eth-
ical Management Declaration Ceremony. A transparent and fair ethical management is
what Woongjin Chemical is pursuing.
- Efforts in rooting ethical management in the corporate culture
To solidify ethical management as our corporate culture, we operate a hotline and an
ethics bureau through which employees can make reports on illegal business opera-
tions and practices. Education on ethics is regularly provided so that all members can
raise their awareness of ethics and put it into action. In addition, we also expand the
scope of ethical management externally by, for example, sending letters to affiliated
companies on a regular basis.

Code of Ethics
Sustainable future for both people and nature
Under the philosophy ‘What’s good for nature is good for people’ Woongjin Chemical has pur-
sued an environmental management system. Its basic direction for environmental manage-
ment is going beyond just becoming an eco-friendly company. It is to emerge as a sustainable
company trusted by customers by creating green products based on natural resources and
recycled materials, and by initiating numerous environmental preservation campaigns such
as pollution prevention and energy and resource conservation programs. We are committed
to creating a sustainable future where nature and people can grow together harmoniously.
- Environmental management system at the global level
ISO-14001 certification was introduced to all businesses by minimizing environmental pollution
that can arise during business activities while establishing an environmental management sys-
tem. Through the operation of the Environmental Management Committee, Woongjin Chemical
is responding proactively to customers’ demands, thereby enhancing the level of environmen-
tal management. For energy saving, through steady efforts to conserve energy by signing a vol-
untary agreement (VA) with the government, we were designated superior VA worksites for five
consecutive years. Together with this and the Group’s low-carbon management policy, we have
completed building a greenhouse gas inventory to respond to climate change from October
2008. This made us the first in the industry to establish a carbon management system.
- aggressive and consistent environmental management
To achieve the objectives of environmental management, we have established green purchase
policies and guidelines. As part of the effort, a ‘No Left-over Food’ campaign was launched at
cafeterias of all businesses, while management and employees clean-up waste and garbage left
in nearby mountains and rivers to help environment purification on a regular basis.
