Bio-based coatings industry
Compared with traditional petroleum-based materials, bio-based coatings are mainly derived from plants, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions and dependence on petroleum. At the same time, its production process is greener, which is in line with people's pursuit of environmental protection and sustainable development. The market size of biopolymer coatings will exceed $1.3 billion by 2024. The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for China's Paint Industry" pointed out that by 2023, the total output value of my country's paint industry is expected to grow to about 690 billion yuan. What can be expected is that, thanks to the research and development of Carpoly's bio-based coatings, it will lead more coating companies to devote themselves to the research and development of environmentally friendly coatings, provide more solutions for environmental protection, and promote green economic and social development.
Research and development of vegetable oil coatings is the future development trend
Scientists and scholars realize that vegetable oil is a renewable resource, and the research and development of vegetable oil paint is the future development direction. Expanding the source of non-edible oil for coatings has great potential in China. Coupled with policy support, the development potential of bio-based coatings is huge. In addition, according to the characteristics of the molecular structure of grease and alkyd resin, it can be modified by various ways such as phenolic, amino, epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, silicone, fluororesin, hydrocarbon resin, natural resin, etc. The physical and chemical properties of coatings make them widely used in different industries and fields. Bio-based heavy-duty anti-corrosion coatings (cashew nut shell oil epoxy resin system) water-based biological nano-waterproof coatings, water-based biological rust-resistant anti-rust coatings, bio-based anti-fouling coatings (with natural anti-fouling agents, which are made from a variety of marine and terrestrial animals and plants) Extracting substances that prevent marine fouling from fouling to manufacture antifouling coatings) have come out one after another.
