In the development process of the chemical industry with huge competitiveness, the market has been far worse than before. Although it is in a short period of downturn, people's demand for it is still continuous. Whoever can meet people's demand for coatings faster and more effectively in the competitive market can seize the opportunity and seize the market. At this point, we have to get powder coating. Why is it eye-catching?

Environmental protection: the direction of Industrial Development

Let's talk about why we are optimistic about the future of powder coatings? After coating, what we hope to see is that it forms a protective and decorative film, and the rest is redundant. Solvent based coatings need to volatilize up to 50% of the solvent in the coating process, so it is obvious that there is serious environmental pollution in the coating process. Only two types of coatings have nothing to volatilize in the middle of the coating process, that is to say, all components in the coating participate in the reaction to form a paint film, one is radiation curing coating, the other is 100% solid content powder coating Material. We all know that radiation curing coating pollutes the environment in the production and manufacturing process, and this pollution can not be eliminated for a long time in the future, and radiation curing coating has requirements for the coated objects, for example, complex parts can not be coated, so if the coated objects are plane radiation curing coating, we can greatly expand our strength Such as wooden floor, wooden door, and some plastic parts, such as mobile phone shell and so on.

Cost: save cost and let enterprises win in the starting line

Let's talk about costs. As the solid content is 100%, the use cost of powder coating should be the lowest theoretically. About half of the solvents in solvent based coatings need to be volatilized. No matter how the price of the solvents has been reduced recently, these volatilized solvents are definitely a part of the cost. The waterborne coatings that we are all concerned about contain quite a lot of cosolvent, which also need to be volatilized.

In recent years, the price of raw materials used in the production of powder coatings has declined dramatically, for example, two key raw materials of polyester used in the synthesis of powder coatings: neopentyl glycol and PTA. In 2012, the price of neopentyl glycol was as high as 14500 yuan / ton, but how much is it today? You can buy it for less than 8000 yuan / ton and earn it. Let's talk about PTA again. Everyone knows that China's PTA capacity is seriously over capacity. In early 2013, the PTA price was as high as 11000-12000 yuan / ton, and today you can find 5000 yuan. Interestingly, with the polyester produced by them, the cost is certainly quite competitive. In addition, with almost no waste of coating, the comprehensive use cost of powder coating should be the lowest. Now, powder coating has established its considerable position in the field of coating metal materials. It's time to enter the field of non-metallic materials, such as wood, such as plastic.
