The 2023 China Coatings Industry Future Technology Development Conference hosted by the China Coatings Industry Association was held in Yixing, Jiangsu Province last week. At the meeting, industry experts said that the realization of green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the coatings industry requires the important supporting role of scientific and technological innovation to promote high-end, intelligent and green coatings industry through quality improvement, efficiency increase and carbon reduction, and accelerate the transformation of the industry upgrade.
Liu Pujun, President of the China Coatings Industry Association, pointed out in his speech that the proportion of environmentally friendly coatings represented by water-based coatings, powder coatings, radiation-cured coatings, and high-solid content coatings is increasing. At the same time, the development of bio-based raw materials for coatings And the application technology is becoming more and more mature, the product system is constantly enriching, and the green and low-carbon innovation and development ecology of the coatings industry is accelerating. The coatings industry has entered a new stage of quality improvement and carbon reduction, transformation and upgrading, and a new development pattern. It is necessary to enhance old advantages and cultivate new kinetic energy in the fields of basic theory of coating application, new raw materials, advanced equipment and automation technology, and coating evaluation technology. .
Hou Baorong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that in order to improve the quality and reduce carbon emissions in the coatings industry, we must first eliminate outdated products and limit the use of traditional high-volatile organic compound (VOC) solvent-based coatings. At the same time, the industry should encourage scientific and technological innovation, focusing on the development, research and application of new technologies and products such as bio-based new materials, radiation-cured coatings, special functional coatings, intelligent coatings, and new materials. The focus and direction of innovation. Paint manufacturers should sort out carbon reduction strategies, skillfully use effective measures such as intelligence and digitalization to implement carbon reduction tactics, and cooperate with upstream and downstream enterprises to enhance system resilience, build smart brains, and empower the entire green life cycle.
Shen Shengfei, an associate researcher at the Material Industry Research Institute of CCID Research Institute, proposed that in addition to improving product supply quality, implementing green manufacturing, and promoting intelligent management of production safety, the coatings industry should also focus on developing corresponding service industries and service systems, such as technology Service, research and development design, project contracting, information service, energy conservation and environmental protection, and financial leasing and other modern production service systems, as well as a service-oriented manufacturing and technological transformation service system integrated with the Internet.
"In the future, we will also give full play to the coordination and leading role of the association, accelerate the efficient and coordinated development of the industry, education, research and application of the coatings industry, adhere to the integrated deployment of the innovation chain, the industry chain, and the talent chain, and strive for excellence in the 'specialized, special, new' and 'little giant' Continue to make efforts in enterprise cultivation, construction of industry-university-research innovation platform, construction of enterprise technology center, high-quality personnel training, etc., continue to promote scientific and technological progress, lead the organic integration of the innovation chain and industrial chain of the coatings industry, and accelerate the construction of vertical integration, left and right convergence, A large pattern of integrated development of the entire industry and the entire industrial chain embedded vertically and horizontally." Liu Pujun said.
At the meeting, industry experts also shared and discussed cutting-edge technologies such as low-VOC coatings, bio-based coatings, high-performance coatings, and smart coatings, as well as the production process of related raw materials and additives such as fillers and dispersants. Liu Pujun, President of China Coatings Industry Association, and Sun Lianying, Honorary President, awarded honorary certificates to the outstanding teachers of the China Coatings Lecture Hall.
This meeting is hosted and co-organized by Jiangsu Yunhu New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Sanmu Group Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Qunxin Powder Technology Co., Ltd. (Jin Yajie)
