Analysis of the Development of Powder Coatings in the Next Four Areas

In recent years, powder coatings have been recognized by more and more consumers as an environmentally friendly and pollution-free coating technology. In many developing countries, especially some emerging coating markets, such as Asia, China, India, and other countries, the powder coating market has developed rapidly. amazing.

Powder coating is a new type of solvent-free 100% solid powder coating. It is characterized by solvent-free, recyclable, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and resource-saving, labor-saving and mechanical strength of coating film. The powder coating is completely different from the ordinary coating and it exists in the form of fine powder. Because it does not use solvents, it is called a powder coating. The main features of powder coatings include: harmless, efficient, resource-saving, and environmentally friendly.

At present, Aksu, Xuanwei and other global paint industry giants are optimistic about the Chinese powder coating market, one after another in China to expand the breadth and depth of the powder coating market, the domestic have also launched to form a separatist situation. Some experts predict that in the future China's powder coating market will gradually form four major market areas:

First, the most important application areas: heat-sensitive materials

At present, powder coatings have been successfully applied to the coating of heat-sensitive materials, and have truly realized industrial production. Powder coatings as a new and promising coating species will further squeeze the liquid coating market. The improvement of the manufacturing process of UV-curing powder coatings and low-temperature curing powder coatings makes it possible to apply powder coatings to thermal materials.

Second, the fastest growing areas of powder coatings: marine powder coatings and other industrial coatings

At present, a considerable proportion of shipbuilding pipelines in China have been sprayed with powder coatings. The development momentum is very fierce. With the continuous improvement of powder coating technology, its development prospects are very broad. The powder coating for pipelines is a completely new coating that is sprayed and melted into a powder form.

Third, the largest demand area of ​​powder coating: automotive powder coating

Powder coatings for automobiles include epoxy hybrids, polyesters, and polychlorinated esters. The application of powder coatings to automobiles began at the end of 1990. Some auto parts have been successfully sprayed with powder coatings. As technology has become more sophisticated and powders The improvement of paint performance is now fully able to meet the requirements of cars, such as the appearance of decorative, weather resistance, chemical resistance, scratch resistance, UV resistance and so on.

At present, domestic powder coatings are mostly used in automobile industry, chassis, wheels, joysticks, mirrors, wipers, and horns. Due to technical limitations, the current powder coatings for automobiles are only monochrome series such as middle coats and varnishes. Global Coatings believes that this is due to the fact that powder coatings cannot be quickly changed in color as liquid coatings, and that environmental requirements are increasingly strict and powder coatings are required. With the continuous improvement of technology, the market application of powder coatings will become wider and wider.

Fourth, future market prospects for powder coatings: construction and outdoor facilities

The gradual increase in the growth index of outdoor polyester pure powder coatings in China in recent years fully demonstrates the development potential of the market. However, with the widespread use of outdoor powder coatings, the number of consumer complaints about powder coating products has increased, mainly in terms of weather resistance, alkali resistance and water resistance, which needs to be given great attention by domestic powder coating manufacturers.
