Automotive coatings updated to the fourth generation will have major changes in the next few years

Global Coatings Network News:

The fourth-generation painting paint is not only the face of the car but also the base color of the car's anti-rust.

Chen Hong, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Society of Chemical Industry Coatings and Coatings Professional Committee, analyzed: The main proportions of Chinese passenger car coatings accounted for 50% of the original paint, 20% of the refinish paint, 15% of the parts paint and 15% of the PV stone-strike paint.

Beginning in the 1990s, European and American automobile factories have replaced traditional organic solvent-based automotive coatings with environmentally friendly automotive coatings for environmental compliance.

By 2001, cars that had adopted water-based primer and basecoat in the western developed markets accounted for 7% and 43% of total output, respectively, in North America; 32.

The current fourth-generation automotive coatings are the fourth and fifth-generation cathodic electrophoretic coatings, acrylic resin coatings with acid rain resistance and scratch resistance.

China's passenger car intermediate and base paints have been water-based 33%.

6%

　　Sun Lianying, president of the China Coatings Industry Association, said that last year, my country’s paint output increased by 6%.

　　She believes that it is due to the launch of the Ministry of Environmental Protection in recent years on the public welfare "Industrial Coating Pollution Source VOC Emission Characteristics and Prevention Countermeasures", "Architectural Coatings VOC Emission Characteristics and Prevention Countermeasures", "Coating Industry Air Pollutant Emission Standard", VOC consumption tax and pollution discharge fee , Beijing, Shenzhen and other cities have formulated local standards for the limit of harmful substances in paint-lead-containing pigments, lead-containing additives, and lead impurity will gradually withdraw from the paint industry.

　　Last year, among the 47 sub-sectors of the petrochemical industry, the efficiency index of the coatings industry was better than that of upstream products such as petroleum products.

　　Liu Dengliang, director of the Expert Committee of the China Coatings Industry Association, said in an analysis of the industry that there are currently very few state-owned enterprises left, private enterprises are taking the lead, and foreign-owned brands account for 30%-40% of the market.

Yang Yuande, secretary general of the 　　China Coatings Industry Association, believes that the growth rate of paint production in China last year was 6%, which was higher than 3.

　　Environmentally friendly paint

　　Zhao Jinbang, a professor-level senior engineer at the Shanghai Coatings Research Institute, believes that traditional coatings use organic solvents as thinners and contain a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC).

　　At present, the proportion of low-pollution coatings in developed countries such as the United States and Japan has reached 65% to 70%, and it is as high as 80% in Germany, while my country is still less than 50%.

　　Qian Borong, chief engineer of CNOOC Changzhou Paint Chemical Research Institute, said that there are many reasons why my country's solvent-based high-polluting coatings still dominate.

　　The Secretary-General of the China Environmental Protection Association believes that an important source of PM2.

　　According to data, in China, the main customers of PPG, a world-renowned automotive coating manufacturer, include Volkswagen, GM, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Dongfeng Peugeot, Citroen, Chery and Hainan Mazda.

　　On the whole, the current development problems of my country's automotive coatings are lack of innovative technology, backward production control technology, and low level of coating equipment.
my country's domestic famous brand automotive coating companies have a small control market share, and the homogeneity competition in the coating industry is very serious, which makes the profit margins of my country's automotive coating companies smaller.

　　At present, the driving factors for the growth of water-based coatings for domestic passenger cars are firstly driven by policies.
The second is the social responsibility of OEMs, and their understanding of the concept of green environmental protection has been recognized by most OEMs.
The third water-based paint technology has matured.
At present, large foreign companies that have mastered the technology of automotive water-based original paint have many years of application experience abroad.
Fourth, the benefits.
Water-based paint has shown more and more benefits-in line with the general trend of environmental protection, promoting technological progress, improving corporate competitiveness, and creating business opportunities.
It is common to use water-based paint technology from the water-based coating technology system of the main engine factory to the coating line.
The new lean coating process with shorter process flow, low energy consumption and lower operating cost will be the mainstream in the future.
