Chapter 369: Wheel Industry

The preparation of transparent coatings is not complicated, or even very simple.

But he has a lot of details.

For this reason, Zhang Xiaofan deliberately put on a new line, this is mainly to ensure the quality, the new machine, no other paint has been made, so it will not cause any pollution to the paint behind.

Moreover, this new machine is specific to Zhang Xiaofan, and this machine is more suitable for the preparation of transparent coatings.

Transparent coatings take a little longer to cure than other ordinary coatings.

This is actually related to the concentration of the catalyst.

Film-forming substances are mainly composed of two parts.

The first part is definitely polyester, and the second part is the curing agent.

Zhang Xiaofan just provides a direction, polyester is made of acrylic poly, as for which one to choose, which one to use for the curing agent, all of which must be tested one by one.

In the world of coatings, there is never the best raw material, only the most suitable raw material.

We all know cars, in fact, he said that the environment is generally more severe, wind, sun and rain, and all kinds of dust, and for the paint, in fact, there is a very big damage.

Therefore, when selecting raw materials, we must optimize its various properties.

In fact, when choosing polyester, it is not necessarily the best polyester to make the best coating.

The selection of curing agent is equally important, and the two can be combined to make the best performance product.

The task is completed, and all that remains is to wait.

This kind of thing cannot be solved overnight, it requires a lot of experiments, and the data detected in the laboratory is not very perfect.

Therefore, once the laboratory confirms a formula, it must also conduct an experiment in actual production, and then send it to a third-party testing agency to conduct a comprehensive test of performance.

If the desired effect is not achieved, then the recipe needs to be finely adjusted.

It's just the product development stage, so the entire market needs to be surveyed.

This task was naturally given to Deng Xiaoni.

"Mr. Zhang, is it a bit risky to rush into the automotive industry?"

Deng Xiaoni has been in the powder industry for three years, and there is no doubt that powder coating is an alternative to oil-based paint.

This is an environmentally friendly trend.

But now you have to admit that due to the relatively short development period of powder coatings, the technology cannot reach the top.

There is still a long way to go with oil-based paints.

In terms of just the way of spraying, the difference is not half a star.

Oil-based paint can be applied by an ordinary person, and a brush can be used by a five-year-old child.

But solid powder coating is not good, there must be professional equipment, professional personnel, to be able to use, this is the difference, this is the gap.

If this point is not solved, the complete replacement of oil-based paints by solid powder coatings will always be just an empty word.

However, the development of powder coatings is also very rapid, and some oil-based coatings have been replaced.

"What's so risky about this, this kind of thing is an inevitable trend. ”

Deng Xiaoni frowned, the application of solid powder coating to cars, in her opinion, is a bit fantastical.

It's hard to get through the performance above.

"Car paint has always been controlled by various top paint groups, in their eyes, this is the cheese on their plate, I'm afraid ......"

"I'm not making car topcoats, even if I do car topcoats, so what?

I don't know why there are so many top paint groups, do I only value this part of car paint?"

Zhang Xiaofan interrupted Deng Xiaoni's words, a solid powder coating company, it is not too difficult to become famous in China.

Now Zhimei new materials can be said to be a household name in Yuezhou, and in the whole country, this is also very well-known in the industry.

But if in the world, it is simply penniless.

If solid powder coating companies want to be famous in the world, Zhang Xiaofan feels that they must do a lot of things that the solid powder coating industry cannot do, and automotive paint is a good breakthrough point.

At least for now, there is no company within its scope that does not mention anything and can make a breakthrough in automotive paint.

Especially in the area of topcoat, there is simply no progress, which is determined by the entire solid powder coating industry, and this is also due to the technical research and development, which has not reached a certain point.

"It should be a high profit!"

"This is a point, the position of car paint in the whole paint industry is actually similar to the position of aircraft in the whole industry.

Don't underestimate car paint, except for special paint, car paint can definitely be regarded as the elite in paint.

The proportion of a company's automotive paint supply in the entire world that marks your company's position in the paint industry. ”

Of course, Zhang Xiaofan is only referring to the topcoat here.

There are many accessories on the car, we all know the pedals, the car frame, these are actually not much paint, most of them use solid powder coating.

But Zhang Xiaofan doesn't want to get involved in this piece, first, this is a very ordinary coating, and this thing may have a little longer weather resistance.

The second point is that the profit margin is not high, so this is also the reason why Zhang Xiaofan gave up.

Of course, if there is such an accessories manufacturer who is willing to use the solid powder coating of Zhimei new materials, Zhang Xiaofan will not refuse.

After all, such accessories, the paint used in the frame.

The color is very, very simple, basically the world is one color, the performance is a glossy, black, flat or matte paint.

Since there is no technical content, the profit is relatively low, but the advantage is that you can meet the standard without bothering.

"I haven't heard of a solid powder coating company that can make automotive paint.

Our technical ......"

Deng Xiaoni's suspicion is not unreasonable.

She is willing to believe that the technology of Zhimei new materials is relatively top, and in the world, it will definitely not surpass all powder coating companies.

The world's best solid powder coating companies have not entered this industry, why is Zhimei new material?

"So, I'm not going to get into the topcoat part, we're going to do the wheel coating. ”

"Is this still separate?"

"The wheel coating is not low in technology, and it has to be perfect in terms of details, and the profit is very high, so this is a breakthrough point for us.

We will definitely involve the topcoat in the future, and it will definitely be beneficial to enter the industry early.

So your task is to find out the wheel hub industry and see which companies can cooperate with us.

Nowadays, people's requirements for wheels have become higher and higher, and many people like to change to their favorite wheels.

So this industry is actually quite promising. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
