What Is the Future Development of Inorganic Coatings? Why Choose Inorganic Coatings?
It is estimated that the demand for waterproof coatings for housing construction in China will exceed 4.3 million tons in 2024
According to the "National Coatings 13th Five-Year Plan", in 2015, the national housing sales increased by 18% year-on-year, but the inventory is still large. Housing "destocking" is an important task in the early stage of the "13th Five-Year Plan", which determines the start of new housing The area growth rate has slowed down; however, urbanization and the increasing refurbishment of old houses have provided huge market space for the development of architectural coatings.
The growth rate of architectural coatings during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period is expected to be around 6%, and the total amount will still be It accounts for more than 1/3 of the total paint.
Based on this, it is expected that the demand for waterproof coatings for housing construction in China will see a moderate increase in the future. In 2020, the demand for waterproof coatings for housing construction in China will reach 3.42 million tons, and the demand for waterproof coatings for housing construction in China will exceed 4.3 million tons in 2024.
At present, the entire Chinese coatings market has undergone earth-shaking changes. In this commercial battlefield without gunpowder smoke, new environmentally friendly coatings are starting a fierce "hand-to-hand battle" with traditional coatings.

At present, the entire Chinese coatings market has undergone earth-shaking changes. In this commercial battlefield without gunpowder smoke, new environmentally friendly coatings are starting a fierce "hand-to-hand battle" with traditional coatings.
On the surface, traditional coatings still account for most of the coatings market. However, from the country’s emphasis on environmental protection and the current policies of local government agencies, traditional coatings are bound to be suppressed and gradually decline.
New environmentally friendly inorganic coatings will inevitably become the mainstream trend of the entire market
Since the Industrial Revolution, human beings have ushered in unprecedented rapid development due to the impact of industrial civilization, but the price of development is often at the expense of the environment; this harmful development method has gradually been detrimental to the future development of mankind. Environmental impacts such as global warming, acid rain, land desertification and haze weather, and many other environmental issues have also triggered people's great demand for healthy living space.
Green, environmental protection, sustainable and harmonious development have become common requirements in today's world. This kind of development based on health protection inevitably needs technological improvement and innovation to satisfy.
Therefore, judging from the trend of healthy consumption, this is not a conceptual problem, but the degree of popularity of technological development and the relationship between cost and output.
Under such an environment, scientists in the architectural coatings industry have never stopped their efforts to research and develop environmentally friendly coatings. Since then, inorganic coatings have emerged.
In the early years, some varieties of inorganic architectural coatings have been widely used. For example, two-component potassium silicate exterior wall coatings used to be the main variety of exterior wall coatings in many areas in the 1980s and early 1990s. After nearly 10 years of wind and rain erosion and natural aging on the walls coated with this kind of paint, the coating film is still basically intact.
The composite exterior wall coating prepared by cold blending of silica sol and styrene-acrylic emulsion or pure acrylic emulsion, because the composite process is not complicated and the storage of the coating is stable, especially the coating film is dense, the stain resistance is good, and it overcomes the inorganic Architectural coatings have brittle defects, construction performance and decorative effects are similar to latex coatings of the same grade, so they have been regarded as coatings with superior technical and economic performance and have been applied since their application so far.
After years of development, the current inorganic coating technology has achieved greater development, not only retaining the excellent performance of inorganic coatings, but also a leap in environmental protection performance.
The implementation of the green development direction of coating products is in line with the interests of market consumers and the direction of sustainable development of the industry. It is imperative to benefit the country and the people.
Solving the main contradiction from the perspective of ecological civilization is to provide more high-quality ecological products to meet people’s growing needs for a better ecological environment. Although inorganic coatings have a small market share, they are gaining momentum. In the future, the inorganic coatings industry will flourish.
