After almost three months of experimentation.

Zhimei New Materials, specializing in solid powder coatings for ceilings.

It has been completed by Professor Wu in the laboratory.

The first sample is already baking.

Professor Wu stood next to the oven, surrounded by a group of students, all anxiously waiting.

After all, this is the effort of so many people for almost half a year.

Whether it is successful or not, it is necessary to see whether the model that comes out this time meets the requirements.

When the alarm on the oven suddenly goes off.

Professor Wu took the lead in turning on the oven, and he must be the first to observe whether his efforts for so long have been in vain.

Regardless of whether the model was hot or not, Professor Wu didn't even use tools, and directly took out the model by hand.

Fortunately, it was still spring, so it began to cool down just a few seconds after taking it out, but it still burned Professor Wu's hands.

He blew lightly to make his hands comfortable, and then he carefully looked at the surface of the sample.

"Take the sample of the new material of Zhimei, I will compare it. ”

After getting the sample, a group of people walked to a place where the light was particularly good.

Professor Wu looked left and right, looking at it with flat eyes for a while, and squinting at it.

Technicians at solid powder companies generally do the same thing.

You'll want to look at the two swatches from different angles, so that the light reflects into your eyes from different angles, so that you can better distinguish the difference between the two swatches.

Professor Wu is doing the same now, but to the uninitiated, it looks like it's funny.

After reading it, Professor Wu looked at the expectant eyes of the group around him.

"It's a success, thank you for your dedication in the past six months. ”

Then a group of people applauded vigorously, it was really not easy, the technician of this paint company, added a lot of interference ingredients.

Originally, the intention of a group of people was to eliminate the interfering ingredients, leaving only the original formula.

But it's actually very hard to do because there are a lot of ingredients that look a lot like interfering ingredients, but you get rid of them.

You will notice that the quality of the paint is deteriorating very quickly.

In the end, after thousands of experiments, they only dared to rule out the vitamin series.

After all, the people who make the paint know that when vitamins are added to the paint, it doesn't have much effect at all.

This is just an increase in cost, but only three of the more than 50 ingredients are discharged, and there are 49 ingredients.

The scariest thing is that there are too many specious things in it.

There are four or five components, which account for the same proportion in the whole paint, but by analyzing the spectrum, it is found that they are only one or two functional groups apart, which makes these experimenters scratch their ears and cheeks, where did you find these things? This makes these researchers have to admire.

These four or five ingredients, maybe none of them are useful, maybe one or two are useful.

This is just a simple situation, and the most terrible thing is that if one or several of these four or five ingredients cooperate with other ingredients to play a certain role in the paint.

At this time, as long as you move one of them slightly, there will be very unpredictable changes, which will always stop the experiment.

This made these experimenters very angry and helpless at the same time.

It can be seen that the person who designed this formula has very strong basic skills in chemistry.

In so many materials, there must be some catalysts and the like.

Thanks to these catalysts, similar interfering components react more slowly than the actual active components of the paint.

By the time the interfering components reach the reaction conditions, the non-interfering components have fully reacted, resulting in the inability of these interfering components to participate in the reaction.

Now these researchers can only understand it this way, so after so many experiments, they finally found that you can't exclude any other ingredient except for the vitamin series.

Even if you know that at least half of it is a distraction, there is still no way you can eliminate it.

The impact is actually very large.

For the lab, you have to copy the proportions of these ingredients one by one.

Then in the morning, the finished product was made in the laboratory, which is the sample that Professor Wu is holding now, and it actually took a lot of time to match.

If something like this happens in production.

Then it's going to be a very significant increase in production costs, because you don't know if it's a disruptor or a non-disruptive thing.

So you basically have to add 49 materials.

So now the question arises.

If all of these things were pure, you can imagine how much it would cost, but if you didn't use pure ones.

If these impure additives contain another catalyst or other component that participates in the reaction, then the matter is a big deal.

The small impact may be to change the color of the paint or the physical properties of the surface.

If the impact is large, it may directly make your batch of paint invalid.

That's chemistry, you never know what happens when you add another chemical to a product.

This is actually the same reason as traditional Chinese medicine, well, if other medicinal materials are added to a finished preparation, even if it is only a little bit, it may try to cure the disease and become a harmful poison.

So this is also the reason why Professor Wu is very depressed.

Now the laboratory is making the corresponding samples.

However, if this recipe is put into mass production.

Professor Wu has no way of knowing how high the cost will be, and whether there will be other changes.

But now this formula, he decided to send it to Weishi Paint first, after all, their technicians over there have more than ten years of experience in professional mass production of coatings.

I said that although he is an expert in coatings, his role in actual production is not higher than that of these technicians.

So a dead horse should be a live horse doctor to see if the technicians of Weishi can solve this problem.

Li Yang, the technical chief engineer of Weishi Coatings, has been working as the chief technical engineer in Weishi Paint for 17 years since the establishment of Weishi Coatings.

The main reason is that there was a shortage of solid powder coating technicians back then, so the boss directly distributed shares to him in order to entrap him.

This has also led to him working here for more than ten years, which actually has very big drawbacks.

Li Yang himself knows this drawback, so he has been looking for a candidate for the chief technical engineer so that he can leave this position.

After all, if a person stays in a position for a long time, his thinking is very easy to be rigid, which has also led to very few breakthroughs in technology in recent years.

However, because the development of solid powder coating has not been for a long time, the person who can provoke the burden of the chief engineer of Weishi coating technology has not been found until now.

This is also the reason why they cooperated with Professor Wu, hoping that through the formula provided by Professor Wu, we can see if the technicians can find a little inspiration and develop their own coatings.

In fact, this is also the reason for the lack of innovation ability of many domestic manufacturers.

In the position of chief technical engineer, some people have been sitting still.

After all, in the initial stage of the company, many people's technology can meet the standard, but slowly with the development of the company, the limitations of his technology will become more and more prominent.

This also leads to a fault line in a company's innovation ability, and it is essential for a company to develop and innovate for a long time.
