Chapter 558: Whoever is strong is in charge
After several run-ins, several improvements were made to the powder coating, and several improvements were made to the equipment, basically both of which have reached a high level that can be achieved at present.
At the current level, it is relatively difficult to increase now, so the entire project team was disbanded, leaving only some experimenters to continue the experiment.
Where did the technicians come from, and where did they all go back, only a few newcomers remained, but their academic qualifications were relatively high, at least they were master's graduates.
Professor Qin also stayed, a few of his students, and she promised to come twice a week to give guidance and answer some questions.
After Zhang Xiaofanfan arrived at the company, he immediately convened a group of elite soldiers, mainly to develop powder coatings that can react at room temperature.
There are still many shortcomings in the products developed in the capital, and there are still many problems in large-scale production, so it is necessary to carry out in-depth research and development on this basis.
The technicians who came to participate in this research and development rushed to the office one after another, and Zhang Xiaofan finally arrived late.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't feel anything wrong with coming last and coming after all the technicians arrived, and it took another 20 minutes to come.
There was no need for Zhang Xiaofan to say anything at all, Zhang Xiaofan sat down on the main seat, and the entire conference room became very quiet
"Today's topic is the continued research on room temperature curing powder coatings.
Some time ago, we organized a battle of more than 200 people to develop a powder coating that can be cured at room temperature, but this powder coating will encounter many problems in the production process or in the storage process.
Although there are still many problems with this powder coating, we should know in our hearts that the invention of this powder coating can be said to be a change in nature from 0 to 1.
So what we have to do next is still very important.
There are so many things that you have to think about and think about, first of all, there are so many problems that you have to solve in terms of how to mass produce.
I'll just mention that since this powder coating is cured at 90 degrees Celsius without adding accelerators, you have to know that the temperature at which it starts to react slightly, maybe only 60 °C, so how to ensure that the coating is not involved in the production process, or a very small amount of it.
The second is the difficulty of storage, the glass transition temperature of the whole coating will be very low, the temperature we detected last time was about 40 degrees, this temperature is very easy to achieve, so how to ensure the stability of storage, you must find the corresponding method.
The third is the accelerator, due to the last time in a hurry, so the accelerator we selected, in fact, the effect is not very ideal, although it can be reacted at room temperature, but the proportion of its reaction is relatively small, what paint coating is not completely reacted, probably only less than 30%.
……”
Zhang Xiaofan talked for nearly half an hour, regardless of whether the people below remembered it clearly or not, whether they heard it clearly, anyway, this was just a suggestion from Zhang Xiaofan, and he also found some problems from it, but how to improve it in the future, these are the things that this group of technicians should think about and do.
"Liu Qi, next you will preside over the technical development of this time.
I'm not involved. ”
Liu Qi nodded, now Zhang Xiaofan has become less and less involved in the research and development of technology, unlike at the beginning, Zhang Xiaofan will provide all kinds of convenience, and even directly provide the formula, so that you can make some subtle modifications to this formula.
But now Zhang Xiaofan sometimes even just provides, some suggestions, more often the customer asks their technical department, and then the technical department conducts research and development according to the customer's requirements, Zhang Xiaofan will not even look at it.
Some old technicians in the past all know that Zhang Xiaofan will often instill some technical concepts in them to complete their powder coating knowledge system, but now Zhang Xiaofan has rarely talked about technical things, and sometimes even the technical department has not come, and they are still a little unaccustomed to it at first.
Anyway, Zhang Xiaofan is now a billionaire in the true sense of the word, so he slowly accepted it.
As for many new technicians, some of them have never heard Zhang Xiaofan talk about some technical knowledge.
"Mr. Zhang, is there a time limit?"
In fact, this is what Liu Qi cares about, especially for his own ability, he is very clear, he does not have a high education, nor does he break through the thinking of ordinary people, he only has loyalty.
But now the entire technical department managed by Liu Qi, he rarely really delves into technology, it is more about how to manage technical personnel and how to manage a technical team.
The technical team is then divided into several groups, each of which conducts a certain technology research and development.
I often contact customers with various requirements, but most of them have time constraints, so there are some success and failure of these research projects, especially some successful projects developed after the time limit, which is regrettable.
So he now asks Zhang Xiaofan if there is a time limit to decide how many technical R&D personnel he will invest into this group.
"For the time being, it will be eight months, that is, within this year, I hope you can hand over an answer sheet that satisfies me, as for how many people are needed to form this R&D team, and what level of personnel are needed, you decide for yourself, I only look at the results. ”
To be honest, Zhang Xiaofan is becoming more and more weak in technology research and development, because many things are already running in a direction that he can't control, and he can only provide some conjectures.
How should powder coating develop in the future? This must be brainstormed, Zhang Xiaofan can only guide it, and the direction of guidance may be wrong, so Zhang Xiaofan is very cautious now.
However, he is unshakable in his determination to enter the homes of ordinary people with powder coatings, and he thinks that in the future, when the paint can be painted with very, very simple tools, then he will be successful.
Just like paint now, a brush can solve all problems, but Zhang Xiaofan knows that today's environmental protection requirements are becoming more and more stringent, especially will inevitably come to an end, of course, how water-based coatings will develop Zhang Xiaofan, there are big doubts, at least in Zhang Xiaofan's view, water-based paint pollution is not much less than paint.
Therefore, the road of future coatings, whether powder coatings dominate or water-based coatings dominate, it depends on the development of the two technologies, which one is stronger?
