Since the beginning of this year, the price of paint raw materials has bottomed out, especially since the second half of the year, most of the paint raw materials have continued to rise, which has put tremendous pressure on the cost of paint manufacturers, and what has become worse is that the transportation cost has been affected by the New Deal since October. The impact has begun to cause new cost pressures on coating companies. Under multiple pressures, some coating companies have begun to raise prices publicly or secretly to control profit margins.

Statistics show that the coating companies that have announced product price increases include Carpoly, China Resources Paint, Mingyang Furniture Paint, Hongchang Paint, Chuangyu Chemical, Eastman, Hualong, Freshman Paint, Shoubang Chemical, etc.

Recently, the powder coating industry has also begun to show the trend of price increases in the industry chain, and companies have joined the ranks of price increases. For example, Guangzhou Kinte Material Technology Co., Ltd. announced on October 18 that the price of polyester resin outdoor products will be increased by 1500 on the original basis. The price of polyester resin indoor products will be increased by 500 yuan/ton on the original basis. On the same day, Wuyi Aitus Plastic Powder Co., Ltd. stated that due to the recent sharp rise in the prices of plastic powder raw materials such as epoxy resin, polyester resin, curing agent (TGIC), and titanium dioxide, the company’s outdoor plastic powder The powder XP series will be increased by 1,500 yuan/ton on the original basis; the indoor plastic powder XE series will be increased by 500 yuan/ton on the original basis.

Powder coating, a new type of building interior wall decoration material. Compared with traditional liquid coatings, it is slightly better in terms of transportation and storage and construction utilization. Therefore, many people now choose powder coatings when decorating. The following is a detailed introduction to the advantages of powder coatings, so that everyone has a clearer understanding of this new type of solid coating.

Powder coating, a new type of building interior wall decoration material. Compared with traditional liquid coatings, it is slightly better in terms of transportation and storage and construction utilization. Therefore, many people now choose powder coatings when decorating. The following is a detailed introduction to the advantages of powder coatings, so that everyone has a clearer understanding of this new type of solid coating.
1. Health and environmental protection
In the production process of powder coatings, various liquid chemical additives such as harmful film-forming, dispersing, wetting, leveling, anti-corrosion and anti-mildew are omitted. Therefore, this product is non-toxic, solvent-free, and non-toxic and volatile, so the powder coating is non-toxic, non-fire, and non-"three wastes" emissions, and meets the requirements of the national environmental protection law.
2. No preservatives needed
The traditional paint is liquid, which contains both water and substances that are easily contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, in order to prevent the deterioration of the liquid paint, the manufacturer will add some preservatives in it, and these preservatives can cause harm to the human body. But powder coatings are different. They are latex powder, granular products, no water, no need to worry about being contaminated by bacteria, no need to add preservatives, and healthier.
3. Smell
Anyone who has decoration experience or has been to a new building knows that after the traditional paint is painted, it will leave an unpleasant smell, and it will not disperse for a long time. But powder coatings are different. Although there may be a slight smell when first painted, the smell dissipates very quickly.
4. Superior performance
The powder coating has strong adhesion, tight coating, strong impact resistance, good toughness, high corner coverage, and good chemical resistance and electrical insulation properties. It is a new type of home wall decoration material.
5. High utilization rate
The powder coatings produced and supplied by some of the more well-known coating brands on the market can be recycled after being oversprayed, and the utilization rate is as high as 99%.
6. Simple construction
Powder coating construction does not need to be applied with primer, and a suitable coating film layer can be obtained in one-time construction, which has high construction efficiency and effectively saves time and cost.
7. Convenient transportation and storage
Ordinary coatings are basically water solvents, which are not so convenient for transportation and storage, while powder coatings are different. There is neither water nor solvent, and transportation is convenient.
Of course, "cantaloupe bitter stalks, there is no beauty in the world." Although powder coatings have many advantages, they also have disadvantages. The curing conditions of powder coatings have certain limitations, so you need to make preparations and choose suitable time and location conditions before construction.
The above is the relevant introduction about "Powder Coatings". I hope it will be helpful for everyone to purchase home decoration materials, and I hope everyone can pretend that they like, are satisfied and healthy.

As domestic environmental protection policies become more and more stringent, the development space of the solvent-based coating industry is getting smaller and smaller, and many coating companies are gradually entering the powder coating industry, so how much profit space does the powder coating industry have? Is there no environmental protection problem in the powder coating industry? Is it? Today we will make a simple analysis from the annual reports of three listed companies in the field of powder coatings listed on the NEEQ.

Leveling agent is one of the important additives in powder coatings. In powder coating formulations, leveling agents are added for high-gloss, glossy, semi-gloss, matte or matte powder coatings when a smooth and smooth film appearance is required. The function of the leveling agent is to form a monomolecular layer on the surface of the molten paint when the powder coating is melted and leveled to provide uniform surface tension, and at the same time, to provide good wettability between the powder coating and the coated object (workpiece), thereby Overcome the disadvantages of pinholes and shrinkage holes formed on the surface of the coating film due to uneven local surface tension. In addition, the leveling agent is beneficial to improve the leveling of the coating film, reduce the orange streak of the coating film, facilitate the dispersion of pigments and fillers, and facilitate degassing during film formation.

The main components of the leveling agent are acrylate homopolymers and copolymers, silicone modified acrylate polymers, polysiloxanes, hydrogenated castor oil and butyral, etc. The addition amount is percent of the total formula 0.5-1.5, which can eliminate shrinkage and help improve the gloss of the coating film.
