Chapter 417: Never Waxing

The bloody wind and rain of the wheel hub industry has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaofan.

At present, basically all the wheel industry in China uses powder coatings, even if you don't use it, it doesn't matter.

The bigger a cake gets, the more pies you can portion.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan hopes that powder coatings can have a very rapid development in recent years, and there will be many breakthroughs in technology.

This requires the joint efforts of all paint people, if you rely on Zhang Xiaofan alone, what paint replaces oil-based paint, it is estimated that it is just a sentence.

Users tend to have a sense of inertia.

Once you've used your product, they'll have a sense of inertia.

If the quality of other companies' products is not much better than the quality of the products used now, or the price is too low, they are generally reluctant to change suppliers.

Therefore, if the new truck wheel wants to regain the lost business, it requires patience and hard work.

After all, someone else has already signed a contract, and the quality and price of your product are very different, so why should they break the contract?

Unless the new truck wheels are willing to give up their profits and reduce the price to a lower price than Wuhe Wheels and Fangnan Wheels.

Then this is still relatively large, and it may be able to snatch back the business.

However, every industry has a bottom line for each industry, and this bottom line cannot be broken, otherwise other manufacturers in the industry will join forces to resist.

Don't think that this kind of thing is unlikely to happen, it is very likely to happen.

What an industry is most afraid of is a-stirring stick.

It's the kind of mentality that I'm not good, and others don't think about it, and make an industry bad, this kind of person will definitely face the resistance of the entire industry, especially the entire sales volume, and the top ten manufacturers in the country will definitely not be able to do this-stirring stick.

An industry must ensure that there is a profit that can survive, and if the industry is rotten, then it will be more difficult to reinvent it.

In fact, this is the case in the powder coating industry now.

Now the price has been getting lower and lower.

Zhang Xiaofan, last time I heard about a powder coating that costs only eight yuan per kilogram.

Zhang Xiaofan was amazed, because with the current level of raw materials, if you want to achieve a product with a price of only eight yuan, then the cost of raw materials cannot exceed five yuan.

One can imagine how poor the quality of its products will be.

But Zhang Xiaofan still knows that there is a thing called recycled powder.

Why is the powder coating utilization rate more than 99.9%?

It is because of the existence of recycled powder, when the powder coating company is at the head of the team, there will be about 2% to 10% of the powder coating that may not be able to be used, and the higher the quality requirements, the more paint that cannot be used.

Maybe it's because the project has already been completed, but there is still a little bit of a small amount that doesn't need to be used, so it becomes inventory.

It is also possible that the powder paint is mixed with other colors, so the paint cannot be used.

So where does the powder coating that these spraying companies can't use end up in?

These powder coatings are then sold at a very low price to powder coating manufacturing companies, which reprocess these unusable powder coatings and turn them into usable powder coatings.

There will definitely be some flaws in the quality of this product, which can be imagined.

But there are many products, and they don't have very high quality requirements, so this kind of product has a market.

In fact, what we don't know is that there will be all kinds of miscellaneous powders in these recycled powder coatings, some of which are even more than ten years ago.

Some may contain heavy metals, which leads to a variety of quality problems and a variety of substances that are harmful to the human body.

Therefore, when buying objects with paint products on the surface, you must keep your eyes open and see clearly.

Is there any impurities on the surface?Is the surface uniform?Is the surface of the flat product very smooth?Is there any noise in the sand surface product?

These points can be regarded as a preliminary judgment of whether the paint is qualified.

In fact, whether it is good or not, most people can still see it at a glance.

Glossy automotive topcoats have been in development for almost a year.

Then there are still many problems, which Zhang Xiaofan is quite helpless, the limitation of raw materials makes many of his ideas unable to be realized.

Chen Ying acquired many raw material manufacturers last year, and also invested a large amount of money in research and development, but the results are still few.

This is probably why many manufacturers are reluctant to invest in R&D.

However, fortunately, Zhang Xiaofan gave a lot of guidance in the direction of research and development, although there are not a few real research results, but many problems have still been overcome, he believes that as long as some funds are invested, the results will be like a bumper harvest of wheat, heavy.

Bad news, good news, there will be a lot of good news.

The best news is that the feeder researchers have researched a technique that is incredibly useful.

Never-wax technology.

This point really surprised Zhang Xiaofan, this time it was jointly developed by the raw material branch and the technical department of the head office.

At that time, Liu Qi told Zhang Xiaofan that he wanted to jointly develop a technology, but he didn't pay much attention at the time, but he didn't expect that a few months later, when the results were submitted to Zhang Xiaofan, even Zhang Xiaofan was extremely surprised.

This technology really appeared more than 10 years later, why did this technology exist?

We all know that if the car is exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, the surface will become very fragile, and we will have a long scratch when we scratch it with our fingers.

But if you wax the car, you will find that it is difficult to scratch the scratches if you use your fingernails.

This is the effect of wax powder, which increases the surface hardness.

My tripartite joint development this time is to combine wax powder with polyester resin to produce a super scratch-resistant resin.

When they first set up the project, they didn't want to develop a technology that never waxes, but because when I was researching transparent and glossy varnishes for automobiles, I found that wax powder had a great impact on gloss, so I had a whim to develop a polyester that didn't need to add wax powder.

This will be of great benefit to the overall varnish development.

It's just that I didn't expect the development of things to catch the researchers a little off guard, and the polyester resin that can be used has not been developed, but the technology that never waxes has succeeded by accident.

So sometimes science is really like that, too much of a chance.

This technology is very practical and can be used in many, many places.

It is even said that as long as it is a powder coating system, this technology can be used.

This technology benefits virtually all powder coating systems.
