[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] KCC's anti-corrosion coatings and antifouling coatings for ships, as well as ceramic products for vacuum interrupters, have been selected as 'World-Class Products' certified by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and promoted by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). The anti-corrosion coatings and ceramic products for vacuum interrupters have been selected for 12 consecutive years, and the antifouling coatings for 10 consecutive years.

The World-Class Product certification is an official recognition granted by KOTRA to foster representative products leading the domestic export industry. Products are selected as World-Class Products only if they meet stringent criteria such as △ ranking within the top 5 in the global market share △ having a market share of 5% or more △ an annual market size of over 50 million USD or an annual export volume of over 5 million USD.

The ship epoxy anti-corrosion coating 'Korepox EH2350,' selected as a World-Class Product for 12 consecutive years, is a product with excellent seawater resistance and abrasion resistance. It protects steel structures such as seawater tanks and pipes on ships from rusting in severe marine corrosion environments.

Also, the antifouling coating 'Seacare A/F795,' selected for 10 consecutive years, has excellent anti-pollution functions, protecting ships from marine organisms that attach and live on the hulls of long-operating ships, increasing operational efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.

KCC's ship anti-corrosion and antifouling coatings are already applied to ships in several countries and are also exhibited at KOMARINE, the biennial international shipbuilding, marine, oil & gas comprehensive exhibition, attracting global visitors' attention as KCC's representative ship coating products.

The ceramic for vacuum interrupters 'VI (Vacuum Interrupter)' is a ceramic material used in vacuum circuit breakers that separate circuits during normal load switching and current faults. KCC is the only domestic producer and competes with leading companies in the global market.

A KCC official stated, "Since 2009, KCC has been consistently selected as a World-Class Product, recognized as a world-class product in the fields of ship anti-corrosion and antifouling coatings and ceramic products for vacuum interrupters," adding, "We plan to continue enhancing product quality and actively respond to customer demands through research and development of global top products in various fields."
