In 2007, the proportion of industrial coatings in the paint industry in China increased. In the future, the R&D and application hot spots in China's paint industry will focus on five major areas including anti-corrosion coatings, coil coatings, functional coatings, powder coatings, and waterborne wood coatings, with emphasis on anti-corrosion coatings.
Anti-corrosion coatings mainly include metal structure anti-corrosion coatings, marine facilities anti-corrosion and ship and container coatings. With its growth, China's anti-corrosion coating market has become a competitive market for world-renowned paint companies. For example, Jotun’s company put into operation at Zhangjiagang’s modern paint production plant, the company’s macarons established a research and development center for anticorrosion coatings in Kunshan, Japan’s Zhongtu Chemical established a 100,000-ton/year anticorrosive paint factory in Shanghai, and Changzhou Paint & Chemical Research Institute established CNOOC corrosion and The key laboratories for protection, Bayer MaterialScience, AkzoNobel, PPG, Sherwin-Williams, and Haihong Elders were all unveiled at the ASIACOAT Coatings Fair. The goal was to identify the Chinese market.
In recent years, the use of color plates in China's construction industry has quietly risen, driving the development of coil coatings. Previously, coil coating had experienced excessive production capacity and disorderly market competition. However, after rational development in recent years, its sales volume has exceeded 100,000 tons, and the high-quality, high-price strategy has been recognized by the market. Among them, fluorocarbon coil coatings, highly durable coil coatings, self-cleaning coil coatings, and coil coatings with good processing performance have become hot spots in research and development, and some of the varieties have begun industrial production.
China is building a conservation-oriented and harmonious society, with external wall coatings and thermal-control coatings with reflective solar energy that are compatible with thermal insulation and energy saving. It has gradually become one of research and development hotspots. Nano-composite coatings are the new force for functional coatings. Among them, nano transparent heat insulation coating is the new darling of energy-saving and environmental protection coatings, while nanometer composite interior wall coatings have the effect of antibacterial, odor and free formaldehyde, and are new products for home improvement environmental protection coatings. Many in Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hubei, and Guangdong. Enterprises have applied for a number of patents in this area and formed industrial products.
The annual output of powder coatings in China reaches 500,000 tons, ranking the second in the world. Especially in the aspect of raw material matching, it has become a self-contained system. All types of resins and leveling agents, matting agents, brighteners and hair sprays have reached the level of similar foreign products. . In the future, the application of powder coatings will not only be limited to home appliances, but also have a wide application space in the automotive, pipeline, shipbuilding, and building materials industries. Experts from the China Epoxy Resin Industry Association stated that new types of powder coatings, such as UV-curing powder coatings, double-layer epoxy powder coatings, and heat-resistant conductive powder coatings, have attracted widespread attention in the industry.
In addition, China is a world leader in the production of wood furniture and furniture coatings (wood lacquers). With the continuous strengthening of environmental protection regulations, waterborne wood coatings have also become a research hotspot. Among them, water-based polyurethane coatings are the mainstream of research and development. There are already many kinds of industrialized products available, and the performance is close to the level of solvent-based coatings. It has become one of the mainstream types of wood coatings, and has demonstrated excellent environmental performance in the fields of home improvement and construction renovation.
