Green architectural coatings will be popular in the future

At the current stage of China's coatings market, the degree of competition among major paint suppliers is increasing, and homogenization is still a chronic disease in the coatings industry. How to achieve product differentiation competition is a challenge that architectural coatings manufacturers will face. The objective pressure of environmental protection and the trend of market appeals have led to the merger and integration of China's coatings industry, and green coatings have become the fastest growing segment of the industry.

Analyze traditional paint

Traditional paint is a typical representative of liquid paints, widely used in the construction industry, and “dominant” in the former paint industry. Traditional paints use organic solvents as diluents, which consume a lot of petroleum resources, and contain toxic chemicals such as benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, and free TDI.

Traditional paint not only pollutes the environment, but also harms people's health. The negative effects of paint are undoubted. In today's advocacy of green and low carbon, it is imperative to ban the use of traditional paints and develop new environmentally friendly paints. The coatings market has also begun to undergo reforms and upgrades in an all-round way, and the new environmentally friendly coatings have begun to shine.

Conventional paints are liquid, using volatile organic solvents that evaporate to produce a harmful gas. The drawbacks of liquid paint contamination, then whether the paint is powdered can change the current situation of volatile harmful gases in paints? What are the advantages of powder coatings compared to liquid coatings?

Powder coating is a new solvent-free 100% solid powder coating. It is solvent-free, non-polluting, recyclable, environmentally friendly, saves energy and resources, reduces labor intensity and mechanical height of coating film. The powder coating has a low YOC content, is easy to remove, has a good durability of the formed coating film, and is easier to apply than a general liquid coating. The advantages of powder coatings are fully exploited to meet the energy conservation and environmental requirements of both types of society.

Green architectural coatings will be popular

The restructuring and upgrading of the coatings industry has become unstoppable. In order to accelerate the pace of transformation and achieve the goal of green building as soon as possible, the introduction of new coatings requires the state to give policy support. The rigid regulations and the self-discipline of the company can promote the healthy development of the coatings industry, and the reform of the coatings will then drive the sustainable development of the construction industry. Environmental protection should be interlocked and step by step.

It is not known whether powder coatings can subvert liquid coatings to the market. The only thing we can be sure of is that with the emergence of various environmentally friendly coatings, the coatings market will be more subdivided and embarked on a new level.
