Lately, powder coatings have a little “ fire ”. In May 12th, AKZO NOBEL in Shanghai headquarters heavyweight first Interpon D2015 3D Brilliance (3D Brilliance) three-dimensional high flash metal powder coating. Coincidentally, tiger paint officially released in May 18, 2017, dedicated research and development of more than ten years of TIGER 3D Metallics. In May 23rd, badeshi Group Chairman Fang Xueping at the eleventh session of the international Chinese waterborne wood paint development seminar revealed, through cooperation and DSM, badeshi became the world's first, is the only one of the Chinese powder coatings applied to wood coatings enterprises.
AKZO NOBEL, tiger, badeshi … … these famous paint enterprises to speed up the layout of powder coatings, powder coatings can make people curious what charm, can so many paint companies hasten if duck.
powder coatings will become the focus of many coatings companies, a large part of the reason is that “ market demand ”. China's powder coating started in 1965. In recent years, with the rapid development of home appliance and furniture industry and the maturity of powder coating related industry chain, powder coating has gained great development. Because of environmental protection requirements, powder coating is in recent years set off a “ paint modified powder ” wave. Then, powder coating the fierce market competition, the future will go to what direction?
The future development trend of an industry focus:
in the powder coating field, we are clearly clear that there are two forces in the country are in fierce competition. Occupy the first tier companies are AKZO NOBEL, Nippon, tiger, Xuan Wei, PPG, Ai Shide and other foreign enterprises, competitive advantage is obvious. The second tier enterprises including Fujian, Zhejiang Huacai Wanan group new materials Co., Dongguan City, Guangdong love metal powder company limited etc.. The production bases of these powder coatings enterprises are mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Bohai rim.
At present, foreign powder coating enterprises occupy 80% of China's high-end market share, most domestic enterprises in the low-end market price melee. In addition to some large powder coating enterprises, there are many small powder coating workshops throughout china. Now, the trend of mergers and acquisitions between coatings enterprises is getting worse, and with the environmental protection storm, small and medium sized powder coatings enterprises are living in a difficult situation. In the future, the concentration of powder coating industry will gradually strengthen.
The future development trend of two:
color diversification
global powder coating applications market, including automotive, home appliances, industry, furniture, construction and other fields, of which automotive and home appliances accounted for a large proportion of powder coatings. Early powder coatings focus on functionality, such as corrosion resistance, weather resistance, durability and other functions. Now the location of the powder coating are not confined to the protection of the surface of the product, more is to help enhance the added value of products, both powder coating product practicability and beauty has become one of the important selling point of major powder coating enterprises. Color diversity and stability is an important indicator of whether the powder coating is beautiful, and it is also a technical barrier for powder coating enterprises to break through.
AKZO NOBEL recently released 3D Brilliance three-dimensional high flash metal powder coating, there are a total of 6 colors. What's more, the company also released a color selection tool (APP) &mdash designed for designers in March, &mdash, and architectural U color selection. The APP can match the colors and paint products you see with the simplest and fastest way. Even through this App, designers can clearly see the gradual changes in the color of the building facades over time.
The future development trend of high performance
Three:
in order to satisfy the different application environment, powder coating technology is improved, a lot of powder coatings of high weather resistance, high adhesion, high anticorrosion characteristics is also starting to appear on the market. Powder coatings used in outdoor buildings and industries have become standard with high weather resistance. Indoor application of powder paint should take into account both decorative and functional. Compared with ordinary powder coatings, high performance powder coatings have higher performances in all aspects and meet the demand of surface treatment, and they are also the main direction of the future development.
The future development trend of intelligent
“ intelligent ” this concept is relative to traditional coatings. In the traditional sense generally refers to the paint coating materials only has protective and decorative properties, usually these properties is one-way, that is to say that the performance can not be with the change of the surrounding environment and response; “ intelligent ” is on the other hand, smart coatings can be changes in the external environment for the corresponding feedback to control the special performance, adaptive, so that the coating to remain valid, for example: anti graffiti coatings, antibacterial coatings, superconducting coatings, self-cleaning coatings etc.. Powder coatings enterprises only in the production process, products and strive to take the high-end line, in order to stand out in the market, the development of intelligent powder coating is a worthwhile direction.
