2011 Waterborne Coatings "Now" and "Future"

The business club reported on January 19. When it comes to the paint industry, it is also inseparable from the changes of thousands of years and people's unremitting efforts, which is further divided into two relationships between architectural coatings and industrial coatings, and self-contained with the evolution process. A series of. As a branch of the coatings industry, water-based coatings have become an indispensable auxiliary material for related industries such as construction, furniture, automobiles, ships, and industrial production. Therefore, many companies now target the paint market and want to conduct in-depth research. Excavate development and open up another coating world. Today, the author Xiao Wu took you to a detailed understanding of the past and present life of waterborne coatings.

First of all: The origin of the paint The origin of the paint is probably very scary for many people, because early in the morning it was discovered that ancient people used paint in their lives, from stone cave paintings in the Stone Age to people’s daily life. In all aspects, paint has been accompanied by human life for more than 10,000 years. In fact, China is also one of the earliest countries to develop paints. As early as the Shang Dynasty, people started to extract natural paint from natural wild lacquer trees and use them in decorative instruments and buildings. In the Spring and Autumn Period, thanks to the mastery of the Tung oil coating technology, the technology of using additives in the coatings was created, and at the same time, the coating industry entered a new era.

Second: The predecessor of water-based paint, as long as you know the depth of the industry will know that the predecessor of water-based paint is paint, paint early in most vegetable oil as the main raw material, it is called "paint", such as health and environmental protection of the original ecological tung oil. Whether it is a traditional coating product using natural materials as raw materials or a modern development of synthetic chemical products as raw materials, all belong to organic chemical macromolecular materials, and the formed coating is a type of polymer compound.

According to the classification of modern chemical products, coatings are fine chemical products. Modern coatings are gradually becoming a type of versatile engineering material and an important industry in the chemical industry.

Again: Let's take a look at what a waterborne coating can be called as a waterborne coating, as long as it uses water as a solvent or a dispersion medium.

Waterborne coatings include water-soluble coatings, water-reducible coatings, and water-dispersible coatings (latex coatings). The water-soluble coating is a water-soluble resin as a film-forming substance, represented by polyvinyl alcohol and various modifications thereof, in addition to a water-soluble alkyd resin, a water-soluble epoxy resin, and an inorganic polymer-based water-based resin.

Fourth, the status quo of water-based coatings and the future outlook Waterborne coatings have experienced a difficult course in China for more than 10 years, and the development prospects are considerable. According to people in the industry, waterborne wood coatings are recognized by the world's paint industry as the development direction of interior wood decoration and furniture decoration coatings. In the industry, its environmental protection cost-effectiveness is more popular. Compared with solvent-based wood coatings, it has unparalleled advantages in resource conservation and environmental protection. According to statistics, in 2008, the output of waterborne coatings in China reached 1.94 million tons, and the output in 2009 reached 2.61 million tons, an increase of 34.5% over the same period of last year. With the development of China's construction and industry, the application of waterborne coatings will also be more extensive. With the continuous advancement and deepening of the “low-carbon” concept by the country and the whole society, the development prospects of the water coating industry that are more advantageous than the solvent-based coatings are also considerable.

The author summarizes that the development of the water-based paint industry has been extensive in the fields involved such as building interior and exterior wall coatings, waterborne wood coatings, and waterborne automotive coatings. According to Xiao Bian, all relevant fields that are closely related to people's lives are moving toward the trend of water-based paints. However, China's water-based paint industry still has the problems of technological backwardness and lack of talents to be solved by enterprises and industries. Xiao Bian hopes that the Chinese paint industry will soon achieve its goal and complete the great dream of the world's paint powers as soon as possible.
