Ningbo enterprises set off a “green revolution” in the coatings market

In daily life, paint is used in almost every product. However, traditional solvent-based coatings account for up to 60% of organic solvents, which are volatile, unfavorable to recycle, and cause great harm. Recently, Changmu (Ningbo) New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully developed a series of high-performance water-based resin products and used them as the raw material for the production of water-based coatings, making the coatings more green and Environmental friendly.
“What we do is to produce paint raw materials.” said Yu Guo, chairman of Changmu Company. The company is committed to developing safe, environmentally friendly and pollution-free paint materials and formulations to reduce organic The environmental pollution caused by solvents protects people’s health. Since its establishment, Changmu has been committed to the development of high-performance water-based resins. At present, it has developed and produced water-based polyurethane modified alkyd resins, water-based epoxy resins and other water-based resin products. And water-based additives such as water-based leveling agent and water-based dispersant.
As related technologies have been monopolized by foreign countries for a long time, my country’s current water-based coatings have poor performance and high cost. Except for applications in construction and home furnishing, there have been no alternative products in other fields, especially industrial coatings. The new product independently developed by Changmu successfully solved this problem. “The water-based paint made of the new water-based resin developed by the company has good corrosion resistance, water resistance, low cost and affordable price.” Yu Guo said, the price of the water-based coating is less than 80% of traditional coatings, if they are used on a large scale instead of traditional coatings, it can save my country at least 80 billion yuan each year.
According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics and the China Coatings Industry Association, my country’s total paint output in 2015 reached 18 million tons, and the market transaction volume exceeded 400 billion yuan. As a new high-tech product, the water-based industrial coating market has a bright prospect, and it is expected to fully replace the traditional industrial coating by 2020.
At the Third Global New Materials Industry Competition last year, Changmu’s “R&D and sales of air-drying self-crosslinking water-based resins” project won the special prize. At that time, some judges believed that high-performance water-based resin products would subvert the traditional coating market. If all kinds of coatings across the country are replaced by water-based coatings, market sales are expected to exceed 800 billion yuan. Since the implementation of the project at the beginning of this year, Changmu Company is expected to develop into the largest manufacturer of water-based industrial coating materials in China and drive the overall transformation and upgrading of the industry.
