The backwardness of technology is the root cause of homogenization of paints

After entering the 21st century, China's economy has always maintained rapid development. The rapid economic development has driven the real estate industry and a large number of industries. Of course, this includes the paint industry. Among all industries in the country, the paint industry is only a small part, and it affects everyone's living environment and physical health. According to statistics, there are currently more than 4,000 paint companies above designated size in the country, and mainly small and medium-sized paint companies. Whether in terms of product quality, business model, or technology research and development are all mixed, their investment in technology research and development is relative. Less, weak technical research and development. The result of technological backwardness is that the homogenization of paint products is becoming more and more serious, which eventually leads to a vicious cycle of the entire paint industry.

The lack of technology is that China's national paint companies can only squeeze in the middle and low-end markets and compete for low-profit market share. As for the high value-added special coatings used in steel structures, petrochemicals, aircraft, automobiles, ships, nuclear power and other fields, almost the world is dominated by foreign brands. Their prices are usually high and their gross profit is also high, but national brands can only be disappointed. Although some major domestic paint companies have achieved initial results in the development of aerospace coatings, marine coatings, marine coatings, automotive coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, nuclear power coatings, and wind power coatings, they have yet to achieve large-scale industrial production and still need to be imported. Other high-end areas are still in the research tracking stage. The control of high-end raw materials in the hands of foreign coating giants, and the lack of independent innovation capability, have affected the development of high value-added paint products. The lack of innovation capability and technical backwardness of domestic paint companies is due to the lack of standard specifications.

For the traditional paint industry, only advanced production technologies can produce high-quality paint products, and ultimately they can win the market for greater profits. In order to encourage paint companies to increase research and development and promote the healthy development of the entire paint industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Department has formulated 14 related standards for the paint and paint industry, to regulate the healthy development of the entire paint industry, these 14 items involving paints and pigments Related standards include: Industrial Cobalt, Industrial Phosphate, Industrial Basic Copper Carbonate, Industrial Basic Copper Chloride, Zinc Borate Flame Retardant, Industrial Hypophosphite, Low Zinc Primer, Cold Zinc Coating, Waterborne Inorganic Phosphoric Acid Salt-resistant, solvent-resistant coatings, water-based alkyd-resin coatings, and coating-use aluminum pigments. Part 3: Polymer coatings. Aluminium pigments for paints and coatings. Part 4: Vacuum aluminized suspensions, sprayed rubber bituminous waterproof coatings, waterborne polyurethanes Floor materials.

The introduction of new standards will help improve the overall level of development of the domestic paint industry, and it is bound to promote the healthy development of the domestic paint industry. However, the paint industry is made up of thousands of coating companies and will play a vital role in promoting the development of the entire paint industry. According to 14 related standards in the paints and pigments industry, we can see that the emphasis is on industrial coatings. Although the current share of industrial coatings is not as much as that of architectural coatings, it plays an important role in the process of industrial development in China. Global Coatings Network understands that especially in aerospace and aerospace, the introduction of new standards will increase the research and development efforts of domestic coating companies in the high-end areas, and will also be an important force for the promotion of nationalization of national paint companies in the field of high-end coatings.

The rapid development of the domestic macro economy has prompted the rapid increase in the number of domestic paint companies. When the domestic macro economy enters the normal situation, the demand for paint products in the downstream market will grow at a slower pace, and the quality and various indicators of paint products will become higher and higher. This will enable a group of coatings that do not have core technologies. The company withdrew from the paint industry. According to the Global Coatings Network's statistics on the number of powder coating manufacturers in China in 2014, we found that compared with 2013, the number of powder coating manufacturers in some provinces in 2014 has fallen, and the powder coatings that were eliminated by the city Those companies that do not have core technologies.

The introduction of various standards for the paint industry in the country can, to a large extent, guide and promote the healthy development of the paint industry, but more importantly, the paint companies need to follow the regulations. In the paint industry, there are not only a few fraudulent paint companies, they are the root cause of disrupting the market, but we believe that with the steady development of the domestic economy, with the introduction of new standards in the domestic paint industry and the continuous Intensify technological research and development, and in the face of continuous external pressure, those companies without core production technology will eventually be eliminated by the market. Therefore, paint companies are not eliminated by the market and should increase the research and development of new technologies and new products as well as the reserve of technical talents.
