Epilon Emboss, a functional wallpaper known for preventing mold, is drawing attention for its eco-friendliness. Youngbo Chemical announced that this past March its wallpaper brand Epilon Emboss had its product performance and effectiveness recognized by the Korea Atopy Association (incorporated), earning a recommendation as an atopy-free product. The Korea Atopy Association's recommended products (Atopy Certification Mark) are part of an atopy certification program in which the association awards certification to eco-friendly products after review based on test results from accredited testing institutions. Accordingly, Epilon Emboss wallpaper is a perfect fit for use in homes with young children, as well as in kindergartens, daycare centers, schools, and hospitals. In addition, Epilon Emboss wallpaper has had its eco-friendliness verified by leading domestic accredited institutions, receiving eco-friendly building material certification from the Korea Air Cleaning Association—an institution that tests household goods for hazardous substances—in 2015, and an eco-friendly certification mark from the Ministry of Environment in 2017.
Epilon Emboss is a wallpaper made from polyolefin. Polyolefin is an eco-friendly material that has long been used in items such as infant spoons and food containers because it releases no environmentally hazardous substances such as formaldehyde. Polyolefin has a honeycomb-shaped, closed-cell structure, with air trapped inside each individual cell. Thanks to this air layer, Epilon Emboss wallpaper made from polyolefin is a special functional wallpaper that offers not only waterproofing but also insulation and cushioning functions. In particular, an advantage of Epilon Emboss wallpaper is its outstanding waterproofing function, which prevents moisture from the wall from passing through the wallpaper's air layer, thereby blocking hazardous substances such as mold and cement toxins. As a result, using it in older homes prone to condensation can deliver notable benefits.
Meanwhile, Epilon Emboss recently launched four new self-adhesive wallpaper types, bringing the total lineup to eight and broadening consumers' range of choices. Made from polyolefin, Epilon Emboss self-adhesive wallpaper is lighter and more crease-resistant than ordinary self-adhesive wallpaper, making installation convenient. In particular, its ease of use—simply peeling off the backing sheet and applying it directly to the wall—has made it highly popular among consumers looking to do their own interior decorating. 02-531-3716
