UNO & Company Ltd. (www.unon.co.kr), headed by Mr. Kim Jong-cheon, was
awarded the 54th Korean Trader of the Month for its excellent export performance in the global market.
UNO & Company is Korea’s leading manufacturer of fiber for wigs in the global market.
Currently, it exports not only fibers for wigs like PVC fibers, heat-resistant fibers and special
fibers, but also electronic materials like adhesive for copper foil to over 20 overseas countries in
the world such as China, Southeast Asian countries and African countries.
The company has grown to be a solid company by creating reliable revenue by fulfilling the
needs of customers and producing new products while guaranteeing quality. It has recently
successfully launched heat-resistant fiber to respond to the growing demand for fiber similar to
human hair whose price is skyrocketing, increasing its presence in the global fiber market for
wigs that was long previously dominated by two Japanese companies for the past 30 years.
Heat resistant fiber; NATURA, UNOLON GD
Heat resistant fiber is a fiber developed to overcome the low heat resistance of PVC fiber, and
can be curled using electron irons at home. It can also resist high temperatures because its main
material is polyester which has a melting point of 260ºC. Just like PVC fiber, heat resistant fiber
can be curled in the dry box and can be used to produce a hair piece or wig. Natura has flame
retardant properties. Unolon GD is cheaper but flammable.
PVC FIBER; FALANG
PVC wig fiber is sold as through the brand name, Falang, and has flame retardant properties
due to its chemical structure. Falang is easy to comb and has vivid color because its material is
transparent. Due to various grades of fibers, both hairpieces and wigs can be produced. There is
also a braid-only grade.
CCL (Copper Clad Laminate)
The company’s sales over the
halogen-free heat resistant fiber for CCL
(Copper Clad Laminate) have been
doubling for the past three years, which
is driven by an annual growth of 17
percent the eco-friendly CCL product
market.
