Future development trends and countermeasures of epoxy resin industry for powder coatings

 

Global Coatings Network News:

At present, my country has a large epoxy resin shortage, but the domestically produced conventional products have been seriously surplus.
Domestic enterprises should avoid low-level repeated construction, and speeding up the development of unconventional products has become a top priority for the development of my country's epoxy resin industry.

The future development trend of epoxy resin industry technology for powder coatings"

Development of high-end products

In recent years, with the development of epoxy resin application technology, higher requirements have been put forward on the performance and key indicators of epoxy resin, and the production technology, product quality and technical services of epoxy resin have also been continuously improved.
However, domestic enterprises have low R&D capabilities and low investment in product development.
Therefore, epoxy resins for powder coatings are very single in variety, most of which are conventional epoxy resins and few other functional epoxy resins.
Most epoxy resin companies have little or no investment in the application of products.
There has been an embarrassing situation that domestically produced epoxy resins cannot meet application requirements in terms of special purposes and key indicators.
The most urgent task is not only to improve the production technology of general-purpose bisphenol A epoxy resin, but also to develop the development of unconventional high-end products (phenolic type, polyol type, brominated epoxy resin, etc.
), so that the company's products form a serialized pattern.
, In order to face the strong impact from the international epoxy resin industry.

Develop green products

The treatment of epoxy resin wastewater is a major problem in the epoxy resin industry.
Epoxy wastewater contains a large amount of aging resin and a relatively high concentration of alkali salt, and it is difficult to use traditional wastewater treatment methods to be effective.
Increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection and safety performance at home and abroad will have a profound impact on the application market of epoxy resins, and companies should plan as soon as possible.
For example, due to the destruction of the ozone layer, brominated epoxy resins will be reduced or banned in the future, and speeding up the development of non-halogenated flame-retardant epoxy resins has become the focus.
At present, the output of water-soluble epoxy resins, solvent-free epoxy resins, high-solid epoxy resins and other environmentally friendly products is still low and there are not many varieties in China.
Development should be vigorously promoted.

Development countermeasures of epoxy resin industry for powder coatings:

Customers and reform are both focused on promoting the development of the industry

The threshold of the powder coating industry is relatively low, and small companies with only one or two production lines emerge in an endless stream.
The phenomenon of powder coating adulteration has been repeatedly banned, coupled with increased labor costs, market competition has become more intense, and low profits have become inevitable.
At present, the domestic epoxy resin market demand is weakening, and enterprises' R&D investment is seriously insufficient.

Deng Haibo, chief engineer of the Baling Petrochemical Branch of Sinopec Asset Management Co.
, Ltd.
, believes that in the face of this development, firstly, investment in scientific research cannot be reduced, and secondly, corresponding reforms must be carried out in accordance with the law of market development.
On the one hand, it should start from the procurement of raw materials, energy consumption, management costs, packaging materials, and the final sales system.
Start from every link and every detail to save the cost of manpower, raw materials, and machinery.

Li Yugang, general manager of Shengli Oilfield Fangyuan Anticorrosive Materials Co.
, Ltd.
, said that epoxy resin companies should start with customers, analyze specific problems, and subdivide products for different customer market segments and epoxy resin technology to meet the special needs of different customers.
Make improvements and R&D to meet user needs and market needs as much as possible.

In addition, standardizing the epoxy resin industry market and guiding the healthy development of the industry require the cooperation of key enterprises, industry associations and the market.
Only in this way can "Made in China" form strong competition in the international market.

Pursuing GDP growth alone will inevitably be at the expense of the environment.
The use of clean energy and clean technology will increase the production cost of epoxy resin.
Obviously, if only an individual company implements this plan, it will inevitably lead to a reduction in the competitiveness of the company and lower profits.
The domestic epoxy resin industry should work together, compete fairly, make progress together, and form core competitiveness to ensure that my country's epoxy resin industry has a place in the international market.
