Containers are exposed to
a very severe and harsh oceanic corrosive environment-excessive
UV sunrays, high moisture, and high salinity.
KCC's container coating have been chosen by the world's
major leasing and shipping companies as well as
container manufacturers for protection of their valuable
equipment.
As at the year end of 1996, KCC marked an
accumulated total record of over 3 million teu of
containers supplied with its quality coatings. In 1996
alone, KCC maintained an average market-share of over
40% of the world's entire demand for container coatings.
In line with the customers' diversified demands for an
upgraded container with better coatings, KCC is gearing
up its technological development activities in creating
suitable products not only for ordinary containers but
also special purpose containers.
KCC is developing
technology to be applied on containers for special use
in addition to the general containers. The use of
fluoride resin-based paint on aluminum containers for an
extended life time of the coating system is one of the
examples of such development activities.
