The output of coatings has a good momentum, and water-based coatings have become an upstart in the industry?

According to industry insiders’ forecast for the development of the coating market this year: the output of coating will exceed 22 million tons in 2018, with a growth rate At about 8%; the output value is expected to be about 440 billion yuan, with a growth rate of about 6%. With the continuous improvement of the product performance, application technology and experience of water-based architectural coatings in China, the growth rate of water-based architectural coatings products has maintained an upward trend. According to the market situation of China’s coating industry in 2017, green development has become the consensus of the industry, enterprises have increased investment in environmental protection, and innovation awareness has become the mainstream.

Broad prospects for the development of water-based coatings
Water-based paint is a type of environmentally friendly paint that has developed rapidly in recent years. In addition to the high strength and wear resistance of general solvent paints In addition to performance, there is no pollution to the environment, and the risk of poisoning and fire is small. Due to the presence of urethane bonds in water-based resin molecules, water-based coatings have excellent flexibility, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and durability. Europe, the United States, and Japan regard them as high-performance modern coatings. Vigorously research and development. According to an investigation by the International Health Organization, most of the traditional chemical solvent coatings are toxic, and working and living in this environment for a long time are extremely harmful to the human body. The increasing incidence of many cancers, such as skin cancer and throat cancer, has a lot to do with the use of toxic paints. The global economic loss caused by the use of toxic chemical solvent-based coatings to cause environmental damage amounts to tens of billions of dollars each year. With the improvement of the quality of human life, people are calling for the protection of their living space, and environmental protection laws and regulations are becoming more and more stringent. Therefore, the development of green and environmentally friendly coatings has become the development trend of the coating industry, and the industrial coatings will move towards water-based coatings, powder coatings, high solids coatings and radiation curing coatings are developing. The proportion of green industrial coatings: The global coatings market is estimated to exceed 126 billion euros, and water-based coatings account for more than 40% of the total coatings market, about 54 billion euros. Some organizations even stated in a survey report that by 2022, the global water-based coatings market is expected to exceed 13.6 billion U.S. dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.1% during the period.
Architectural coatings become a new economic growth point
Big data research pointed out that in 2018, the global paint production growth rate is expected to be about 3%, and the market value growth rate is expected to be about 4.4%, which is slightly lower than 2017. In many countries and regions around the world, the industry that is slightly higher than the GDP growth rate is the construction industry. Data show that Asia occupies 45% of the global coatings market, and is developing faster than other regions, and has a greater impact on the entire global coatings market. The development of the housing industry can drive more than 50 related industries such as steel, cement, machinery, etc., to further start the raw material market. It can be said that for a long period of time in the future, the housing industry will become a new growth point for my country’s economic development, which also provides a broad development space for my country’s architectural coatings. In the future, the development direction of architectural interior wall coatings is to develop towards water-based development, gradually achieving zero V0C and as few residual monomers as possible. The development direction of exterior wall architectural coatings is high stain resistance, self-emulsification, high solids and low V0Clatex paint. In addition, waterproof coatings will also develop in the direction of water, elasticity, acid resistance, alkali resistance, water repellency, sound insulation, sealing and crack resistance. Such as silicone rubber waterproof coatings, polyurethane waterproof coatings, water-based PVC waterproof coatings, VAE waterproof coatings, tar modified polyurethane waterproof coatings, thick insulation waterproof coatings, energy-saving waterproof coatings, neoprene asphalt waterproof coatings, etc. Of course, it is indispensable to develop functional coatings such as thermal insulation thermal insulation coatings, anti-carbonization coatings, decorative fire-retardant coatings, anti-ant fly coatings, anti-mildew and sterilization coatings, and sound insulation coatings.
The water paint market, which is entering a period of rapid development, despite facing many challenges, is still favored by many industry giants, downstream end markets and potential consumers. This is because of the advantages of water paint It’s even more obvious. According to industry insiders, water paint will be a collective breakthrough in the field of traditional coatings. Labels that pollute the environment and harm health will disappear completely from the market as the paint is eliminated. From production to use, water paints more closely follow contemporary environmental protection requirements, making environmental protection coatings the norm in the industry.
