Insilico will unveil its innovative ‘Fire Extinguishing Capsule’ at APCS 2024 this September

Published

on

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Insilico, a South Korean company specializing in manufacturing unique functional microcapsules, will showcase its new product, the “Fire Extinguishing Capsule,” at APCS 2024, which will be held in Indonesia this September.

The Asia Pacific Coatings Show(APCS) is a leading trade show in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim, dedicated to the coatings industry. It serves as a platform for collaboration among companies within the industry, ranging from raw material suppliers to equipment manufacturers and distributors. At APCS 2024, Insilico plans to showcase its Fire Extinguishing Capsules and other functional capsule-related products, including pressure measurement film, thermochromic capsules, and photochromic capsules.

Insilico’s “Fire Extinguishing Capsule,” which will be introduced for the first time at APCS 2024, is an innovative product developed over three years since 2021. The microcapsule is designed to burst and release fire extinguishing agents when the surrounding temperature rises during a fire, effectively suppressing the fire within seconds. It utilizes a cooling suppression method that prevents damage to objects, and its excellent storage stability and durability have been proven through rigorous endurance testing.

Insilico, a South Korean company specializing in functional microcapsules, has developed fire-extinguishing microcapsules that can be used in various fields, including small spaces like electrical panels and server rooms, and even battery/Energy Storage Systems(ESS) and electric bicycles. The microcapsules can also be used in fire suppression products such as extinguishing pads, patches, and tapes. These applications extend the usability of the capsules, making them efficient fire suppression tools for enclosed spaces.

The pressure measurement film PresChecker, which will also be showcased, is a high-sensitivity and high-quality film that allows easy measurement of pressure and pressure distribution in fields that require a high level of precision, such as smartphones, automobiles, displays, and molds.

PresChecker consists of a two-sheet structure, with a colorant and color developer coated on each film. When force is applied to the film, the microcapsules rupture under pressure, causing the colorant to be absorbed by the colorless composition. This results in a color change through a chemical reaction between the colorant and the colorless composition.

With over 20 years of experience in capsule manufacturing, Insilico possesses unique technological expertise and exports its products to various countries worldwide, including China, India, and the United States, establishing a strong global network. In addition to participating in APCS 2024 in September, Insilico is also set to attend the Yangtze River Delta International Fire Protection Industry Expo 2024 in China this November.

Insilico, a South Korean company specializing in functional microcapsules, has already garnered international attention for its Fire Extinguishing Capsules. The product was featured in the August 2024 issue of the prestigious UK magazine, International Fire & Safety Journal(IFSJ), where it was recognized for its reliability and credibility. Following this, the Fire Extinguishing Capsules were highlighted in the July 2024 issue of Fire Middle East(FME), a magazine specializing in fire safety firefighting industries in the Middle East and Africa. Insilico’s technology will also be introduced to approximately 75,000 readers in the upcoming September and December issues of FME, further solidifying its presence in the global market.

It remains to be seen how Insilico’s “Fire Extinguishing Capsules” will innovate the fire safety industry and what kind of response they will generate at the upcoming exhibition.

New Study Reveals Retail Security Measures Are Driving Customers Away

DALBAR and Competitor IQ survey of 500 North American shoppers uncovers a costly tension between loss prevention and the customer experience

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DALBAR, Inc. and its division Competitor IQ today released the 2026 Retail Security and Loss Prevention Study, a survey of 500 U.S. and Canadian consumers on how loss prevention strategies affect the retail shopping experience. The findings reveal a significant tension between security and convenience — one that is already costing retailers sales.

38%
of shoppers have abandoned a purchase due to in-store security measures

Key Findings

Security Measures Are Pushing Shoppers Out the Door
A significant share of respondents report abandoning purchases due to security-related friction. Locked merchandise cabinets and access restrictions are the leading causes — and the full study breaks down exactly which measures are driving customers away.

Locked Merchandise Is the Biggest Pain Point
Many customers say locked displays negatively impact their shopping experience. Many feel mistrusted and will leave rather than wait — and the data shows a clear link to lost revenue that retailers cannot afford to ignore.

Safety Matters, But Rarely Drives Store Choice
Most shoppers already feel a baseline level of security when they enter a store. The study reveals which measures build customer confidence — and which ones backfire by sending shoppers online instead.

Customers Want Technology, Not Barriers
A strong majority believe AI and surveillance technology can better balance loss prevention with convenience. The full study includes detailed breakdowns of customer preferences by age, income, and retail category.

“Retailers are caught in a difficult position: theft is rising, but the measures used to combat it are alienating the honest shoppers they need to retain. The path forward lies in smarter, less intrusive security — and the data shows exactly what that looks like.”
— DALBAR / Competitor IQ Research Team

When Customers See Theft Happen In-Store…
Most say they would shop there less often or stop visiting entirely.
Only a small share reports no change in behavior. The reputational cost of visible theft is significant — and quantified in the full report.

About the Study
The 2026 Retail Security and Loss Prevention Study was conducted by DALBAR, Inc. and Competitor IQ in April 2026, surveying 500 consumers across the United States and Canada. The full report includes detailed findings by demographic, retail category, and security measure type — with actionable recommendations for loss prevention teams.
