Yeson Tech Wins 'KES Innovation Awards'

Yeson Tech has been honored in the electronic components and materials category at the 15th KES Innovation Awards, organized by the Korea Electronics Association (KEA).

According to Yeson Tech on September 21, the company received the award for its "Flame Barrier Tape," a fireproof tape developed for the safety of electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) batteries against thermal runaway fires. The product incorporates patented technology for an "EV battery fire-resistant sheet with dual fire-resistant adhesive layers and its manufacturing method," which was registered in June.

This material features a flame barrier layer that directly blocks heat transfer from flames by doubly laminating fire-resistant adhesive layers in both film and foam structures. This design effectively delays fire spread while providing excellent fire resistance. It is also capable of withstanding high-temperature flames of up to 1300℃ and has achieved the highest V-0 rating in UL94, the stringent U.S. certification standard for flame retardancy.

A Yeson Tech representative stated, "Winning this year's KES Innovation Awards officially acknowledges that the precision adhesive technologies we have accumulated in the display and automotive electronics fields now provide us with clear competitiveness in the battery market, where high safety standards are required." The official added, "Based on our proven fire resistance and patented technologies, we will continue to expand supply to secondary battery customers and use this growth to enhance shareholder value."
