KOPLAS

Established in 1993 with the founding principles of creation, achievement and meeting challenges, we started out as a manufacturer of hydraulic seals made of tetrafluoroethylene (teflon). Since then, we have developed and manufactured first composite resin cylinder wear rings, and later, copper alloy oilless bearings.
Following the establishment of the “Composite Materials Technology Research Lab” in 2008 , we developed a laminate material impregnated with fabric resin and bearings for wastewater and seawater pumps, and obtained NEP certification from the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. We have been strengthening PR in overseas markets and spurring exports as well. In 2020 , we completed the development of a non-metal, high-performance composite material wear ring (LUNA-CAPA) for centrifugal pumps with the Korea Water Resources Corporation through a performance-sharing task, and in 2021, we acquired the Innovative Product certification in the SOC technology market. LUNA-CAPA wear rings can greatly contribute to low carbon and eco-friendliness by increasing pump efficiency, reducing pump vibrations and costs, and extending maintenance cycles. In order to discover future materials that can replace metal, finite resources, and to development lighter, stronger, more durable, and more environmentally friendly composite material technologies, all employees of I-PASS firmly promise to pursue creation with an indomitable will and to face challenges with persistence and perseverance.
