The development of anticorrosive coatings ushered in new opportunities. Where is the next explosion point?

In addition to the emerging market of graphene heavy-duty anticorrosive coatings, the water-based anticorrosive coatings market is another outlet that needs to be opened urgently. February 2 17, 2 1, 20 17 China Heavy-duty Anti-corrosion Conference was held in Xiaoxian County, China. At the meeting, Gao Yuan, technical director of industrial paint department of Chen Zhan Group, believed that the current anticorrosive paint market is mainly distributed in Bohai Rim, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan, Sichuan and Pearl River Delta, accounting for 9 1 of the total national market.

Up to now, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan, Sichuan, Tianjin, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Hainan, Hubei, Fujian, Yunnan and other provinces have levied VOCs pollution fees, which set off an environmental storm on 20 17. For anticorrosive coatings, the growing environmental storm is a double-edged sword, a challenge to solvent-based anticorrosive coatings and an opportunity to water-based anticorrosive coatings.

The key research and development projects of anticorrosive coatings in the coating industry in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" include waterborne epoxy, waterborne acrylic acid, waterborne polyurethane, waterborne alkyd and modified products. "Changing oil into water" is the general trend, and some painting enterprises are increasingly favoring water-based anticorrosive coatings. 65438+1On October 20th, the anticorrosion construction of G90 1 intermediate diesel oil storage tank in Guangzhou Petrochemical Company was successfully completed. In this anti-corrosion construction, Guangzhou Petrochemical used a new type of water-based anti-corrosion coating for the first time in the anti-corrosion construction of oil storage tanks. This kind of waterborne anticorrosive coating not only has good anticorrosion performance, but also is a kind of non-flammable and explosive coating with extremely low VOC content. Compared with traditional solvent-based coatings, it is not only safer, but also more environmentally friendly. Under the trend of water-based energy saving and environmental protection, the market of water-based anticorrosive coatings will also win broader development.

China's anti-corrosion coatings market is widely used, whether it is graphene heavy-duty anti-corrosion or water-based anti-corrosion coatings, the market prospect is very broad. However, China's anticorrosive coatings market has a high degree of product homogeneity, and enterprises lack core competitiveness. Compared with foreign brands, the gap is still very big. In addition to their own weakness, anti-corrosion coating enterprises are also facing the threat of rising prices of external raw materials.

20 16, 17 Since June, the cost of a large number of raw materials used for coating production and manufacturing has risen, with copper prices rising by 34% and zinc prices rising by 78%. The cost of titanium dioxide, another important raw material, continues to rise wildly at 20 17. These raw materials are the main components in the production of anticorrosive coatings. The crazy price increase of upstream raw materials of coatings has brought great influence to downstream finished coating enterprises. Recently, Haihong, the main manufacturer of anticorrosive coatings, was troubled by the rising cost of raw materials and had to raise the price of some coatings products. If the price of raw materials continues to rise, it is believed that more coating enterprises will raise the price of coating products on the premise of ensuring quality.

abstract

Anti-corrosion coatings enterprises with domestic troubles and foreign invasion urgently need transformation and upgrading to develop high-performance, multi-functional, energy-saving and environmental-friendly anti-corrosion coatings. At the same time, with the deepening of the national supply-side reform, the backward coating production capacity will be eliminated.
