[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] KCC has launched the plant coating ‘ThermalMask 1501,’ which boasts excellent heat resistance.

ThermalMask 1501 is a plant coating applied to power plants, petrochemical facilities, and various equipment, characterized by outstanding heat resistance. It demonstrates durability even under immersion conditions of high temperature and high pressure around 150℃, preventing corrosion inside gas-oil separation plants (GOSP), heat exchangers, valves, and pipes, thereby maintaining shape and performance stably. It can be applied using an airless spray method, ensuring excellent workability.

This product also places significant emphasis on environmental friendliness as it is a solvent-free epoxy coating. Epoxy coatings using organic solvent thinners emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs react with sunlight in the atmosphere to cause photochemical smog, which can pollute the air. ThermalMask 1501 does not use organic solvents such as thinners, minimizing environmental damage.

A KCC official stated, "Since coatings are a product group that impacts the environment, we will continue to promote eco-friendly ESG management activities and product development, deeply considering the Ministry of Environment’s intentions along with excellent performance."
