Analysis of Future Development Prospects of Powder Coatings

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. In recent years, its environmental protection and pollution-free coating technologies have been recognized by more and more consumers, and the market is developing at an alarming rate.

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:

The most important application areas: thermal 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.

The fastest growing area of ​​powder coatings: Industrial Coatings such as Ship Powder Coatings At present, a considerable proportion of China's shipbuilding pipelines are being 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.

The largest demand area for powder coatings: automotive powder coatings Automotive powder coatings include epoxy hybrid, polyester, and polychlorinated esters, etc. Powder coatings are used in automotive applications. Since the end of 1990, some automotive parts have been successfully applied to powder coatings. With the improvement of technology and the improvement of the performance of powder coatings, it 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.

Future market prospects for powder coatings: Construction and outdoor facilities The gradual increase in the growth index of China's outdoor pure polyester powder coatings in recent years fully demonstrates the 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.
