Expert opinion: No high-end paint market lost

Engineer Guo Depo, Technical Development Center, Drayton Environmental Protection Coatings (Beijing) Co., Ltd.: In the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, it is required to take scientific and technological progress and innovation as an important support, focusing on the deployment of high-speed railways, large aircraft development, and high-end CNC machine tools. And other large machinery manufacturing. In aircraft, high-speed rail, automobiles and many other large-scale machinery manufacturing industries, the demand for supporting high-end specialty coatings is increasing day by day. Therefore, the technical innovation of special coatings is imminent. Many paint companies urgently need to make technological breakthroughs in the production process of water-based paints, high solids coatings, powder coatings, and radiation-curable paints, and gain the right to speak in the future high-end paint market to get rid of the current fierce low-end market. competition.

Qian Borong, Chief Engineer of Changzhou Paint & Chemical Research Institute: Nowadays, most of the world's paint brands are landing on the Chinese market, such as Nippon, Master, and Dulux. Faced with the continuous attack of international paint predators, local paint manufacturers must adhere to the development direction of “three highs and one low” if they want to synchronize with the world's advanced level. “Three-high” is a high-performance coating with high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It is mainly used for high decorative coatings in the automotive, home improvement, home appliances and other fields. It has highly functional coatings with special functions; “a low” means reducing the environment. Contaminated low-soil, low-toxicity coatings, such as aqueous industrial coatings.

Xin Liwen, general manager of COSCO Kansai Paint Chemical Co., Ltd.: The localization of wind power coatings will surely become wider and wider. In terms of market performance, I believe that localized wind power coatings will hopefully gradually occupy a certain market share in the market, and the driving force for this trend may mainly come from two aspects. The first is from a technical point of view. The rapid development of China's wind power industry, however, has only been a few years. Many projects have operated for a short period of time. The adverse environmental conditions in the northwestern China have not fully revealed the problems of equipment erosion. As the environmental loss of equipment becomes more and more serious, the contradiction between simple matching and complex environment will become even more prominent, and the close combination of product improvement and market will become an inevitable requirement, which will surely promote the R&D center's enterprises in China to wind power market. Better development will provide driving force for localized wind power coatings to enter the market. The second is from the perspective of cost. Market analysis has shown that in 2009 the profits of the wind power equipment industry began to decline, and the high growth levels in the previous years began to slow down. With the intensification of competition in the industry, how to reduce costs will become a concern for equipment manufacturers and a major driving force for localized wind power coatings to enter the market. Of course, in this process, policies, entry barriers, and the introduction of industry technical standards will also be involved. During this period, many paint companies will certainly experience a phase-out process from one company to another.

China National Building Materials Network Coatings Analyst: Storage tanks are important infrastructures for petroleum, chemical, grain and oil, food, fire protection, transportation, metallurgy, and defense industries and strategic reserves. Coatings inside and outside steel tanks need anti-corrosion coatings to achieve Antiseptic effect. At present, paints for large-scale steel storage tanks are mainly concentrated in major energy and chemical giants such as PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and Sinochem Group, as well as in the state's strategic petroleum reserve pool under construction. With the increase of China's oil reserve base and the increase in the number of oil storage tanks, the demand for petroleum tank coatings has also increased dramatically, and the quality requirements for coatings have also been continuously improved. With the advancement of storage tank construction, the amount of paint for future maintenance and maintenance will inevitably increase gradually. Many of the tank farms are located in environments with high ambient humidity and high corrosiveness such as seaside and mountainous areas. Recoating and construction are difficult and the surface treatment costs are high. The surface of the old oil tank is difficult to remove, and the ordinary oil tank can not be attached after the anticorrosion paint is applied. Therefore, there will be a broad market space for low surface treatment tank repair coatings with rust, moisture, and oil.
