What is powder coating, classification of powder coating and current status of powder coating market

(Painting of powder coating)

Powder coating market status:

The largest growth areas of the
powder coating coating market in China are: shipbuilding industry and pipeline industry.
The problem is that the impact resistance and hygroscopicity need to be improved and improved.
Researchers focus on the modification with various base materials.
In terms of storage stability and coating workability, domestically produced pipeline anticorrosive epoxy powder coatings still have a certain gap compared with foreign high-quality products.

Due to the progress in the preparation technology of foreign automotive powder coatings, automotive finishing, wood and plastic coatings are the most dynamic potential markets.
The automotive industry will be its major consumer, and the powder coatings and coating markets in Greece, Turkey and Eastern Europe are growing well.
The Asia-Pacific region has greater market potential and has been considered the fastest growing region in the world.

The home appliance industry is an important application field of powder coatings.
In the United States, applications in household appliances account for 17% of the entire powder coatings market.
Since people accepted the slight orange peel effect, hybrid powder coating systems have also been used as the main product for this purpose in Europe.
In the United States, due to the priority given to smooth finishes, polyurethane systems are more commonly used in household equipment.
As a protective coating for home appliances, powder coatings are mainly used in the following typical products: food freezers, refrigerators, water heaters, toasters, dishwasher covers, household kitchen utensils, electric and gas heaters, etc.

The automotive industry is one of the markets with the greatest demand for coatings for protective and decorative purposes.
In the 1980s, Honda of Japan began to use powder coatings for the underside paint of car bodies, followed by Fiat of Italy.
In contrast, American automakers are more cautious in considering the speed of introducing powder coatings as car topcoats.
General Motors began to use powder coatings as the underside paint for the car body in its small truck series in 1982.
It has accumulated relevant experience and grasped the use of powder coatings in its passenger car series in the early 1990s.
Technology.
Miller and Kerr also summarized the characteristics and advantages of an all-in-one powder coating for the underside of a car: the overall smoothing effect can improve the appearance of subsequent coatings, no VOC emissions, the entire body is resistant to chipping and corrosion, the utilization rate is 100%, and no waste Material handling issues.
From an economic point of view, it is very much in combination with the high utilization rate of powder coatings and the ability to eliminate the paint residues accumulated in the spray booth, making the bottom-side powder coating a very practical product.
One of the main driving forces for the innovation of coating technology in the automotive industry.

At present, domestic powder coatings are mostly used in the coating of automobile engines, chassis, wheels, filters, joysticks, mirrors, wipers and horns in the automobile industry.
Due to technical limitations, the current automotive powder coatings are only monochromatic series, such as middle coats and varnishes.
This is because powder coatings cannot change colors as quickly as liquid coatings.

In the future, the development of powder coatings for automobiles will make efforts to further improve weather resistance, UV resistance, low temperature, thin film and improve decorative properties.
With the gradual improvement of environmental protection laws and regulations, powder coating technology is constantly updated, and the application value of powder coatings will be more fully demonstrated.
