Cosco's water-based polyurethane coating technology helps the electric vehicle industry move towards environmental protection

As a result of rising global environmental awareness, Taiwan has confirmed that new vending machines will be fully electricized from 2035 and that production and sales of fuel engines will be banned in an effort to tackle air pollution. However, in addition to the mobile pollution emitted by locomotives, the addition of volatile organic matter (VOC) in the production and manufacture of conventional locomotives is one of the reasons for the formation of suspended particulate PM2.5. In order to effectively reduce VOC and PM2.5 formation, Cosco's latest development of Bayhydrol and Bayhydur water-based polyurethane coating technology can help the locomotive industry coating technology smoothly from "oil" to "water" . In addition, Cosmodros' polyurethane (thermoplastic), polycarbonate and thermoplastic composites provide the latest lightweight, longer mileage solutions for electric vehicle bodies, battery packs and charging piles.
high density of locomotives in Taiwan, but as a result, people's lives are exposed to traffic emissions. According to monitoring data from the environmental protection department, about one-third of Taiwan's air pollution sources come from mobile pollution from steam locomotives. In addition to traffic exhaust gas, traditional locomotive production and manufacturing procedures, such as painting, spraying, etc., often due to the use of organic solvents caused by a large number of VOC emissions, and even become a risk factor for industrial safety accidents.
To help locomotive manufacturers move towards green manufacturing, Cosco has introduced Bayhydrol dispersions and Bayhydur polycycyanate crosslinkers for single- or two-part water-based polyurethane coatings A variety of water-based system coating solutions, not only can be applied to the car body shell primer, color paint, varnish and varnish and other coatings, while in the construction process can reduce up to 80% of VOC emissions, but also can effectively improve the construction environment, reduce the occurrence of industrial and safety risks. In addition, Coxtron's latest water-based polyurethane coating solutions are highly reactive and reduce baking time during the production process compared to conventional water-based coating solutions, thereby reducing energy consumption and, in turn, CO2 emissions during the production process. Among them, the two-group water-based polyurethane coating technology is easy to spray, all-weather construction characteristics and high foam-free film thickness characteristics can also bring outstanding results for locomotive design and texture, and the overall construction efficiency is comparable to solvent system.
technology plays an important role in the industry's path to sustainability and greenness," said Sun Weien, head of Coxtron's coatings, adhesives and specialty chemicals business unit (CAS). After years of research and development and technological innovation, Cosco's water-based coating performance is not only comparable to, or even better than, oil-based solutions. In order to implement the concept of environmental protection in the process of industrial transformation, Cosco expects to work with manufacturers to achieve environmentally friendly goals through the practical application of water-based technologies.
considers that locomotives are primarily outdoor rides, so there are higher requirements for scratch resistance, weather resistance, UV resistance and even process design, while Coxtron's two-part water-based polyurethane coating technology not only provides efficiency beyond traditional solvent coating technology, but also ensures that the vehicle's appearance is as durable as new. At the same time, in response to the requirements of coating performance and the complexity of water-based coating coating, Cosco also for locomotive manufacturers to provide professional and perfect cooperation and support.
In addition to the problem of air pollution, promoting the development of electric vehicles still needs to solve the problem of battery capacity and range, so the lightweight design of car body and components is very important, and charging pile has become the key to popular use. As the inventor of polyurethane and polycarbonate technology, Coxtron is committed to technological innovation and leading the transformation and development of the industry. In the body part, Cosmodrome's soft polyurethane can be used not only as a locomotive cushion to improve ride comfort for riders, but also as a thermoplastic polyurethane for other soft glue applications such as locomotives and tires. Polycarbonate plastics, in addition to suitable for lamps, battery packs and electric vehicle interior and exterior parts, as a substrate thermoplastic composite materials with lightweight, robust and other characteristics can also be widely used in electric vehicles interior and exterior parts and battery housing, and bring a unique design texture to the product. Coxtron also offers a wide range of material solutions for charging pile applications, where polycarbonate not only helps to effectively reduce manufacturing costs while increasing service life, but also hard polyurethanes are lightweight.
