The application rate of water-based coating in construction machinery industry

The water-based coating has been successfully applied in the automobile industry for more than ten years, but for the construction machinery industry, the water-based coating is still a relatively new thing. With the promulgation and implementation of national and provincial air pollution control policies and air pollutant emission standards, the control of VOC emission is becoming more and more strict. In this situation, water-based coatings have been widely used in rail transit, container, agricultural machinery and other industries to replace the traditional solvent based coatings online coatingol.com. In recent years, the construction machinery industry has also carried out application research on water-based coatings, and some enterprises have begun to use water-based coatings on a large scale. In addition, water-based coating manufacturers have also begun to pay attention to the construction machinery industry. A large number of product research and development have been carried out for the water-based coating used by construction machinery. Many coating enterprises have developed water-based coating specially used for construction machinery. One of the most famous examples of the application of water-based mechanical engineering is the case of Sany Heavy machinery. Sany Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the research of water-based coating since 2014. By 2018, there are 10 water-based coating production lines in Kunshan Park of Sany Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd.

In addition, Xiaobian also heard when he participated in the meeting that: at present, 70% of enterprises of transportation machinery have achieved water-based coating, and it is expected that by the middle of 2020, all mechanical products will be fully promoted to use water-based coating. Although waterborne coatings have been widely used in other industries, there are different characteristics in different industries. Construction machinery products are quite different from other machinery products in terms of structure, function and use, so the requirements for coating performance are also different. However, through the improvement of water-based coating enterprises and the application of construction machinery, it shows that the water-based coating can fully meet the coating quality requirements of construction machinery products. In addition to individual performance indicators, the performance of water-based coating is not lower than that of solvent based coating. Therefore, from the performance point of view, the water-based coating in the construction machinery industry is safe to use. From a policy point of view, the use of waterborne coatings will be the main direction of VOC emission reduction in the future. Among them, the work plan for further prevention and control of volatile organic compounds in Shanghai (2018-2020) proposes that the industrial industry comprehensively promote the source substitution of raw and auxiliary materials and products with low (no) VOC content, and also requires the construction machinery manufacturing industry to promote the use of high solid content, powder coating, and test point to promote water-based coating.

In the implementation plan of the three year action plan of Fujian Province to win the blue sky defense war, key industry enterprises are encouraged to carry out water-based transformation of production process and equipment, increase the use of green and low volatile paint products such as water-based paint and powder paint, accelerate the process of coating water-based, and reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds from the source of production. This series of environmental protection measures and emission standards have greatly restricted the use of traditional solvent based coatings, which in turn greatly promoted the production and application of waterborne coatings. Construction machinery coating is also the main content of VOC treatment. Water-based coating is a kind of low VOC coating next to powder coating and electrophoretic coating. Therefore, the use of water-based coating is an important way for the compliance production and emission of construction machinery. Through the exploration and application in recent years, it is proved that the application of water-based coating in construction machinery industry is feasible and successful. Although there are still some difficulties in water-based coating of construction machinery, on the one hand, it benefits from the promotion of successful experience, on the other hand, under the pressure of environmental protection, the application of water-based coating in the construction machinery industry is a trend, and it will continue to be promoted from complete machine production enterprises to supporting parts production enterprises.
