Environmental Protection - New Standard of Coatings for Industrial Application

1. The wide range of industrial coating application

It is widely regarded that coatings are not actually a huge industry, because it is a matter of common occurrence. But almost every industrial product requires industrial coatings, regardless of the purposes of decorating, beautifying or protecting. For many products, the surface "coating" are almost the most important part of them.

Large like our most familiar building coatings, automotive coatings, small like conductive films of microelectronics, coating applications are everywhere.

Although industrial coatings can help protect industrial products and enhance aesthetic appearance of products, people must judge these benefits and negative impact of coating application on the environment.

2. The hidden dangers of industrial coating

It is widely used in spray operations of industrial coating application, which releases pollution gas to pollute the surrounding environment, so there are hidden dangers for the health of manufacturing worker and the whole society.

For example, two car assembling plants in Delaware have been detected that approximately 40% of the harmful substances marked in the waste gases they discharged,  because they use the industrial coating organic solvent.

The government has established the law that limits the emissions of such pollutants and encourages the production of environmental friendly low VOC coating varieties. Industrial coatings meeting environmental protection strategy and the research and development of coating additive products become a big trend of technology transformation in coating industry.
