KCC Demonstrates Competitiveness of Marine Coatings at 'KORMARINE 2025'

Showcasing Silicone Antifouling Coatings and Inorganic Insulation Materials

On October 20, KCC announced that it will participate in 'KORMARINE 2025,' the International Shipbuilding and Marine Industry Exhibition, which will be held at BEXCO in Busan from October 21 to 24.

KORMARINE is one of the world's top five shipbuilding equipment exhibitions, where visitors can see new technologies, advanced equipment, and new products in shipbuilding, offshore plants, and marine energy at a glance. KCC, which has participated more than any other domestic paint company, has consistently promoted the excellence of its marine coatings at this event.

At this exhibition, KCC will showcase its eco-friendly silicone antifouling coating 'MetaCruise BF' and insulation materials for ships as its main exhibits.

MetaCruise BF, newly launched by KCC this year, is a silicone antifouling coating that does not use biocides. As the global trend toward eco-friendliness leads to reduced use of biocides, this product achieves antifouling performance through silicone. Last month, it was applied to vessels operated by MSC, the world's largest container shipping company, and KCC is currently in supply negotiations with major overseas shipowners.

The company will also present a range of inorganic insulation materials that enhance the fire resistance and insulation performance of ships. These include mineral wool, ceramic wool, and glass wool products, which have been certified for quality, performance, and safety not only by domestic (KS) standards but also by international certification bodies such as Japan (JIS) and the European Union (CE).

A KCC representative stated, "We will continue to strengthen the development of environmentally friendly technologies and global marketing to support the sustainable growth of the shipbuilding and marine industries."
