The main materials for lithium-ion secondary batteries include positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators. Double Scope specializes in separator manufacturing among these components. Separators play a critical role by isolating the positive and negative electrodes of a battery while maintaining lithium-ion conductivity.

The company's separators use polyolefin microporous membranes and feature shutdown characteristics that safely halt battery function during abnormal heat generation. This enhances battery safety.

Double Scope's products serve lithium-ion secondary battery manufacturers primarily in Asia, Europe, and the United States. Manufacturing is conducted mainly at W-SCOPE KOREA CO., LTD. and W-SCOPE CHUNGJU PLANT CO., LTD., supplying products to Asian and European markets.

In particular, the company is developing new applications and entering new fields utilizing membrane technology to respond to changes in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Through these efforts, the company aims to achieve business growth and strengthen its financial foundation while enhancing investor engagement.

The company is strengthening sales activities to diversify its customer base and expand new customers.
