Powder coatings' future of our country:four areas
2014.08.27 13:38In recent years, powder coatings as an environmentally friendly, pollution-free coating technology is more and more recognized by consumers, many developing countries, especially some emerging coatings markets, such as China, India and other countries powder coatings market growth rate in Asia amazing.
Powder coating is a novel solvent-free 100% solid powder coatings. With a solvent-free, recyclable, environmentally friendly, saving energy and resources, reduce labor intensity and film mechanical strength. Powder paints and coatings in general is completely different, it is the state of presence of fine powder. Since no solvent is used, it is called powder coating. The main features of powder coatings include: harmless, efficient, save resources, and environmental protection.
Currently, Aksu, Sherwin and other global coatings industry giants are optimistic about the Chinese powder coatings market, have expanded the breadth and depth of the powder coatings market in China, the country also have been started, the formation of separatist warlords situation. Some experts predict that the next Chinese powder coatings market will gradually form the four market areas:
First, the most important application areas: thermal materials
Currently, the powder coating has been successfully applied thermal coating material, and truly industrial production, powder coating paint as an emerging breed has broad prospects will further squeeze the liquid coatings market. UV-curable powder coatings and improved low temperature curable powder coating manufacturing process, the powder coating may be applied to the thermal material.
Second, the powder coating of the most rapidly growing areas: Ships powder coatings and other industrial coatings
At present, China has a considerable proportion of the ship pipe powder coating applications, development gaining momentum, with the continuous improvement of its powder coating technology development prospects. Pipeline powder coating is a completely free, powder coating and melt form of new paint film formation.
Third, the powder coating greatest demand areas: Automotive Powder Coatings
Automotive epoxy hybrid powder coatings, polyester, polyurethane and type, etc., powder coatings used in automotive spray powder coating began to succeed on the part of the automotive components by the end of 1990, with the technology maturing and powder improve coating performance, now fully able to meet the requirements of the car, such as the decorative appearance, weather resistance, chemical resistance, scratch resistance, UV resistance and so on.
Currently powder coatings in the automotive industry used for painting cars, chassis, wheels, levers, mirrors, wipers and horn and other parts. Due to technical limitations, the current automotive powder coatings only monochrome series such as coating and varnish, paint global network that this is due to the powder coating does not change color as quickly as liquid coatings, along with increasingly stringent environmental requirements and powder coatings technology continues to improve, the market powder coatings applications will become increasingly broad.
Fourth, the powder coating future market prospects: construction and outdoor facilities
Our outdoor pure polyester powder coating exponential growth in recent years fully explain the gradual growth of the development potential of the market. However, with the widespread use of outdoor powder coatings, consumer complaint case powder coating products increased, mainly in weathering resistance, water resistance, alkali and other issues, which need to attract domestic powder coating manufacturer's attention.
