Coatings: Evolution from Paint to Diversified Materials

Early coatings were mostly solvent-based, so they were often called "paints" in China. Now with the development of technology, the types of coatings are more abundant, including water-based, powder-based, light-cured and solvent-free. Therefore, it is no longer appropriate to continue to call it "paint", and now it is more common to use the general term "paint". Paint is a kind of paint, but paint is not limited to paint.

Covers a wide range

Coatings cover a wide range, including water-based paints and oily paints. Modern coatings are no longer limited to the traditional production methods of oily paints. Many coating products are prepared by chemical synthesis, and their types and applications are more and more diversified.

Paint is a kind of coating.

Paint is a kind of paint, but paint is not limited to paint. With the rapid development of chemical industry, modern coatings are no longer limited to the traditional production methods of oily coatings.

Paint is more extensive.

The main difference between paint and coating is that paint is only one kind of paint, and the meaning of paint is broader.
