[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] KCC's marine anti-corrosion coatings, anti-fouling coatings, and ceramic products for vacuum circuit breakers have been selected as 'World-Class Products,' certified by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency). The anti-corrosion coatings and ceramic products for vacuum circuit breakers have been selected for 14 consecutive years, and the anti-fouling coatings for 12 consecutive years.

The World-Class Product certification is an official recognition granted by KOTRA to foster representative products leading Korea's export industries. Products must meet stringent criteria such as △ ranking within the top 5 in the global market △ having a market share of 5% or more △ an annual market size of at least 50 million USD or annual export volume of at least 5 million USD to be selected as World-Class Products.

The 'EH2350 Series' marine epoxy anti-corrosion coating, selected as a World-Class Product for 14 consecutive years, is highly resistant to seawater and abrasion. It protects steel structures such as seawater tanks and pipes on ships from rusting in severe marine corrosion environments.

Also, the 'Egis Series' anti-fouling coating, selected for 12 consecutive years, has excellent anti-contamination properties, protecting ships from marine organisms that attach to the hull during long voyages, improving operational efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.

KCC's marine anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coatings are already applied to ships in several countries and are showcased at the biennial international shipbuilding and marine industry exhibition 'KORMARINE,' attracting global visitors' attention as KCC's flagship marine coatings.

The ceramic (VI) for vacuum circuit breakers 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, "We are committed to developing excellent products recognized in the global market based on our technological capabilities, actively responding to social issues such as environmental friendliness as well as functionality. We plan to continue practicing ESG management actively and consistently introduce World-Class Products that meet customer needs."
