Domestic powder coating production and marketing shift to the mainland

national leaders drive domestic powder coating production and marketing shift to the mainland

August 29, 2005

in the past two years, the competition in the powder coating market in Guangdong and other coastal areas is quite fierce. Powder coating manufacturers have begun to turn to the mainland market in order to expand sales and explore new markets while stabilizing their existing market share

powder coating, as a solvent-free coating, conforms to the internationally popular "four e" principle (economy, environmental protection, high efficiency, excellent performance), and has received extensive attention all over the world, thus achieving rapid development. Powder coatings include epoxy polyester (mixed), epoxy, polyester, polyurethane and other series products. Because the powder coating is completely solvent-free, it can be completely converted into a coating, which is an undeniable advantage for the growing awareness of environmental protection in the world, and also makes it one of the cleanest coatings in the current stable and long-term development strategy

due to the opening of the market and the rapid economic growth, the domestic powder coating industry has also developed rapidly. Since 1995, manufacturers in Taiwan Province and Europe and the United States have actively invested in the construction of powder coating and its raw material manufacturing plants in mainland China. The awareness of the domestic coating industry to convert from solvent type to powder type has gradually increased, and the powder coating association has also actively provided opportunities for consultation and exchange, These favorable factors have brought opportunities to the growth of powder coatings. In 2000, the domestic powder coating market was about 96000 tons, ranking third in the world. The top two were the United States and Germany, and the market growth rate has also remained in double digits in recent years

the powder in Europe and America is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity. Coating manufacturing enterprises have advantages in the Chinese market. At present, there are about 600 powder coating manufacturers in China, and foreign famous powder coating manufacturers, such as DuPont, AkzoNobel, ferro, PPG, USB and other companies, as well as Nanbao and other enterprises in Taiwan Province, have established production bases in China. At the beginning of this year, DuPont Huajia has formulated the establishment of Guangdong branch to realize the "three pillars" development strategy of Huangshan, Guangdong and Chengdu. At the same time, the company adheres to the synchronous development of domestic and international markets, and plans to earn foreign exchange by export of 3million US dollars this year. While maintaining the development trend in the south, ferro also began to develop the northern market at the end of 2000. The company set up a distribution office in Beijing to develop the powder coating market in North China and Northeast China. AkzoNobel is also expanding its market share in China. The company's new paint production plants in Suzhou and Dongguan will be put into production this year. Since Morton was acquired by Rohm and Haas, its products are now sold by Rohm and HAAs in China. It can be seen that the competition in the domestic market will be more intense in the future. Many powder coating companies are also producing and selling resins while selling coating products in China, and some famous raw material suppliers have brought their products into China. For example, Dow, Liu Hao, director of the auxiliary heating and cooling Committee of China Building Metal Structure Association, Ciba has established an epoxy resin production plant in China, and other companies such as shell chemical are also constantly introducing new resin products, This has also driven the development of coating materials such as epoxy resin to a certain extent

in addition, powder coating metal building materials are also widely used in all aspects of buildings because of their excellent durability, decoration and processing formability. Since the advent of powder coatings in the early 1970s, its application in aluminum building materials has increased rapidly. At present, the application of powder coatings in aluminum building materials has expanded from Europe to the Americas, Australia, the Far East, the Middle East and Africa. In the coating of aluminum building materials, the representative powder coatings include epoxy resin, polyester resin, acrylic resin and silicone resin powder coatings. As applications, most of the aluminum building materials with high corrosion resistance, such as some aluminum frames, doors and windows, balconies, corridors, partition boards, etc., use polyester and acrylic powder coatings. In addition, epoxy resin powder coating has excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance, but slightly poor weather resistance, so it is generally used indoors or as primer. Recently, a thermosetting fluororesin powder coating that can be coated by a general powder coating production line has been developed. This thermosetting fluororesin powder coating has better weather resistance, light retention and durability than epoxy resin powder coating, polyester resin powder coating and acrylic resin powder coating, and even comparable to solvent fluororesin coating
