Looking into the future of coatings ink industry

<

In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, with the increase in opening up to the outside world, the Chinese coating industry has developed rapidly. The rapid rise of the automotive industry, residential construction, and energy transportation industry, and the imminence of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, have led to a significant increase in market demand for automotive coatings, architectural coatings, road marking coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, coil coatings, etc. , and the ever-changing printing and packaging industry will also bring new opportunities for the development of the ink industry.

Coatings industry enters a period of gold development
Zhao Xiaodong, director of the China Coatings Industry Information Center, believes that the Chinese paint industry has entered a golden period of development. He said that China's economic development has brought about explosive growth and development of the paint industry. According to statistics from the China Coatings Industry Information Center, at present, the annual output of paint in China has exceeded 3 million tons, and the annual output ranks second in the world. He pointed out that China is still a big consumer of paint and its annual consumption exceeds 3 million tons. China still needs to import more than 100,000 tons of paint each year. The main imports are special coatings and high-grade coatings.

Zhao Xiaodong believes that the market potential of Chinese coatings should be unlimited. After the development of the Chinese economy over the past 20 years, the paint market is in a period of rapid growth. He said that the construction industry and the automobile industry are two engines of domestic economic development. The rapid development of these two industries has led to the development of the paint industry. He explained that a colored steel plate coating has now grown to a scale of more than 100,000 tons. This is something that many people in the coating industry did not think of, and people of the European Steel Coatings Association did not expect that the color steel plate coatings in China are now developed to such a degree. Large scale. He pointed out that the color steel plate coating is mainly used for building color steel plates, household appliances color plates and car color plates. He believes that in the future China's coil steel coating may still be an infinite market.

Huang Tianyuan, deputy secretary-general of the China Coatings Industry Association, said that China's real estate investment and development is increasing at a rate of 20% every year, and the growth rate in 2003 is 29%. According to the calculated area, the required coating is more than 1 million tons, and the interior wall coating needs 700,000-800,000 tons. He stressed that painting should form a fixed industry, there is a condition for the delivery of the project there is a requirement, there is a requirement for the choice of materials, in order to achieve the ultimate satisfaction of consumer requirements.

Huang Tianyuan emphasized that the development of coatings in China must be in line with international standards. It is very important to commercialize resins. This is an innovation that changed the previous pattern. In the past, the paint factory had to do everything on its own, and now it is no longer necessary.

Mr. Huang Tianyuan was pleased to say that at the 9th China International Coatings and Ink and Surface Treatment Exhibition, the commercialization of resin for film-forming substances became a major feature of this exhibition. He said that innovations in the paint industry are also reflected in the commercialization of resins. Enterprises are no longer self-produced, but form a new division of labor. Because the main film-forming substance is resin, the emulsion also depends on the resin. From the integration of color toning, such as coloring from the factory to the color in shopping malls, it is gradually recognized by consumers and can better meet the individual needs of consumers.

Ye Shangzhong, director of Shanghai Coatings magazine, believes that urban and rural housing construction will become the growth point and consumption hotspot of China's economy, and the ongoing decoration and construction projects will further stimulate the paint market in China. According to statistics, by 2005, 300 million square meters of new residential buildings will be built in cities and towns, and 2.9 billion square meters of existing urban residential buildings will have to be transformed to varying degrees. At the same time, the construction of rural well-to-do villages will further heat up, and a large number of flood prevention, power generation, water storage and diversion projects under construction projects such as the South-to-North Water Transfer Project are also accelerating, with the implementation of the “three rural issues” and the reconstruction of residential houses after the floods. The investment in construction of peasant well-to-do places will increase, and the level of decoration will be higher and higher. According to relevant data, in the next three years, rural areas in China will have 568 million square meters of residential demand. He believes that the potential of China's rural paint market is extremely large.

Low water-based pollution will become the mainstream of the market
Zhao Xiaodong pointed out that low pollution and waterborne will become the mainstream of the paint market. Because of all organically synthesized materials, it must be contaminated, just as people recognize that smoking must be contaminated. But you can't absolutely say that you produce paint that has no pollution. Because of this, low pollution is a more scientific formulation. The concept of water-based is to reduce the amount of solvent as much as possible, while water-based technology has both technological advances and people need to accept it in concept. Although the choice of water-based coating may lose some of the performance of the coating, such as its hardness, gloss, stain resistance, weather resistance is worse, but for environmental protection, in order to sustainable development, people should accept and take the initiative to buy Water-based paint.

Shen Huolin, regional manager of Bayer (China) Co., Ltd. Northeast and North China, pointed out that low water-based pollution is a trend in the coatings industry. The water-based system is environmentally friendly. It does not contain harmful organic solvents and is solvent-free. The goal is green. He said that Bayer has done a lot of work in these areas, minimizing some organic additives, and the environmental goal is to produce environmentally friendly products. He said that currently Bayer's polyisocyanate has achieved rapid growth, and there are already finished products being promoted; the other is UV curing, that is, using UV-curable coatings, this product will not produce organic volatiles. It becomes a film and becomes a paint immediately by light. He said that Bayer provides raw materials for coatings and has always been ranked first in the world, playing a leading role in the paint industry. Shen Huolin emphasised that environmental protection coatings should start from the source, environmental protection coatings should not harm the natural environment, and the second is the maintenance of human health. The paint raw materials provided by Bayer are to improve harmful substances and harm humans. He said that at present, the paint raw material products produced by Bayer are very promising in the European market, and the market potential is very large. He predicted that this product will become the mainstream consumer of the market in China in 5-10 years.

Tianjin Siyou Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. is a famous company in the coatings industry in recent years. The company's production of tertiary carbon paint not only fills the blank of our country in this product field, but also breaks Shell's exclusive production in the world. Carbon paint pattern. Sun Youbo, the general manager of the company, said that the exterior paint for the building is now used for water-based paint because of environmental issues, such as phenyl acid, styrene-acrylic, and tertiary carbon paint. Tert-carbon paint is called VeoVa copolymer. Its film-forming structure is a completely different structure from other materials. Sun Lanbo pointed out that the biggest problem with waterborne coatings is that environmental performance and paint film performance cannot be improved at the same time. Water-based paints must add some film-forming additives (VOC), and its presence will affect human health. This problem has always been a problem facing the paint industry. The biggest feature of tertiary carbon is that its paint VOC and paint film properties are not inversely proportional to each other, but proportional to it. The lower the VOC index, the better the paint film performance. He said that tertiary carbon paint has a 34% share in the European market, because European environmental standards are stricter than China, so their problems are solved very well, but tertiary carbon paint products have always been monopolized by Shell. He said that at home, we can rarely use tertiary carbon as a raw material for coating, because the use of it as a coating, the price may be very high. However, he believes that with the improvement of people's living standards, healthy and environmentally friendly water-based low-contamination coatings will become the mainstream of the market.

Sun Lanbo believes that in the near future, China's demand for tertiary carbon paint will occupy a large space. He explained that Siyou has solved the problem of tertiary carbon raw materials and the cost is not very expensive. The company’s goal is to allow paint companies to use affordable carbon raw materials to produce tertiary carbon paints, so that consumers can afford them. Tert-carbon paint.

New Product New Technology Lands in China Market
Juergen Strauss, manager of architectural coatings at Rohm and Haas's Asia Pacific region, believes that China's architectural coatings industry is not inferior to Europe's original development momentum. Consumers' awareness and requirements for quality are increasing. He believes that the external wall insulation system will develop very quickly in the Chinese market because the Chinese government now has a mandatory external wall insulation policy. He said that the development of insulation systems for external walls in China is now mature and the time is ripe.

Juergen Strauss said that the Chinese market is still dominated by solvent-based coatings, and waterborne metallic paint has become mainstream in the US and Europe, and its growth is continuous. Because people realize that water-based paint is more environmentally friendly, it is also safe for production workers. At the same time, people also realized that waterborne metallic paints have various properties for the protection of metal surfaces. Juergen Strauss said that the maintenance of metal with water-based metallic paint and maintenance with decorative paint are two different concepts. He said that Rohm and Haas has invested a lot of technical power in the development of waterborne metallic paints. From the North American market, the company first participated in the market development of water-based metallic paint, and also cultivated this market. Rohm and Haas Company hopes to bring the experience of developing the North American waterborne metallic paint market to China.

Juergen Strauss said that in 1978, California in the United States had begun to apply waterborne traffic paint based on Rohm and Haas technology. Today, more than 80% of highways in the United States use water-based traffic paint. In Finland and Sweden in Europe, and in Australia and New Zealand, the proportion of water-based products has exceeded 90%. He said that although China's roads are mainly based on hot-melt and solvent-based vehicles, waterborne road markings have already begun to be used on the high-speed road from Shanghai to Nanjing. He pointed out that waterborne road marking paints can significantly improve road safety at night and in rainy weather through retroreflection, and can significantly increase the speed of construction and reduce the time for road closure. He said that Rohm and Haas Company is optimistic about the development prospect of waterborne traffic paint in the Chinese market.

Juergen Strauss pointed out that at present, the source of pollution for home renovation is mainly wood coatings and adhesives used in decoration, and waterborne wood supplied by Rohm and Haas Company.
