The 'Ceramic for Vacuum Circuit Breakers,' selected for 16 consecutive years, is a ceramic material used in vacuum circuit breakers that separate circuits during normal current load switching and current faults. KCC is the only domestic producer of this advanced material and competes with leading global companies in the market. As an applied materials chemical company, KCC is focusing on developing advanced materials and strengthening technology, including VI and semiconductor encapsulants (EMC).

The marine epoxy anti-corrosion coating 'EH2350 Series' 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 harsh marine corrosion environments.

Also, the antifouling coating 'Egis Series,' selected for 14 consecutive years, has excellent anti-fouling properties that protect ships from marine organisms that attach to the hull during long-term voyages, improving operational efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. KCC's marine anti-corrosion and antifouling coatings are already applied to ships of several countries and have attracted attention at the recent international shipbuilding and marine industry exhibition 'KORMARINE' held in Korea.

A KCC official said, “The ceramic materials and coatings, based on advanced technology and accumulated know-how, have proven their excellence by being selected as World-Class Products for 16 consecutive years. We will continue to do our best to enhance global competitiveness by developing and producing products with outstanding functionality and environmental friendliness.”
