SKC, development of Nano- film
2006-09-20
After one year of research, SKC (CEO: Park Jang Suk) announced the successful development of a new color film called Fancylite, which takes advantage of nanotechnology. Hundreds of resin s, which are a nanometer-thick, are used to make Fancylite film. The color characteristics of the film change according to the refractive properties of each resin , and the number and thickness of the s. Depending on the background, viewing position, and light source, the color will change in appearance. Like the shimmering rainbow colors of a soap bubble, the film will have a cascade of colors.

In the past, dyes and pigments were injected into the color films or a special color coating was applied to the film’s surface, but Fancylite is able to produce different colors due to the inherent properties and structure of the film itself Thus, there no discoloration will occur unlike dyes and pigments.
By harnessing the nano- technology that is incorporated in Fancylite film, SKC is planning to meld the same technology to window films, safety films, LCD films, and other new materials. The market for these different products is estimated to grow into a 1 trillion-won market.
