The following is an analysis of the technological breakthroughs and industrial applications of waterborne silicone coatings under environmental protection trends, combined with the latest research results and practical cases:
1. Environmental performance upgrade: from low VOC to bio-based materials
Zero VOC emission technology
Waterborne silicone coatings replace organic solvents through an aqueous sol-gel system to achieve a VOC content of less than 50g/L (1/10 of traditional solvent-based coatings).
Policy support: In line with China's "14th Five-Year Plan" environmental protection plan and the EU REACH regulations, avoiding the pressure of 3,000 yuan per ton of environmental protection tax.
Breakthrough in bio-based raw materials
American companies use genetically modified yeast to synthesize siloxane precursors, with a bio-based content of 60%; China uses rice husks to extract high-purity silica to replace quartz sand to reduce oil dependence. By 2025, the cost of bio-based products is expected to drop to 1.2 times that of petroleum-based products, promoting the application of medical degradable devices.
2. Molecular design innovation: performance limit breakthroughs
Improved weather resistance and temperature resistance
Adaptation to extreme temperatures: Phenyl-modified silicone resin can withstand long-term work at 300℃ (traditional upper limit 250℃), maintain flexibility at ultra-low temperatures of -80℃, and maintain gloss retention of more than 85% for 20 years outdoors.
Corrosion resistance enhancement: Flaky fillers (mica, glass flakes) are superimposed with zinc powder protection to form a "fish scale barrier". No rust after 1500 hours of salt spray test (equivalent to 15 years of exposure at sea), and can withstand 10% sulfuric acid immersion for 30 days.
Intelligent function integration
Self-repairing coating: Microcapsule technology realizes automatic repair of scratches, and the market potential of automobile paint maintenance reaches tens of billions of scale.
Easy-to-clean surface: Silane compounding technology makes the contact angle reach 110°, realizing the "lotus effect", and oily handwriting can be wiped more than 5,000 times.
3. Construction process revolution: win-win for efficiency and environmental protection Quick drying technology breakthrough
Shensaier's third-generation water-based high-activity resin shortens the drying time from 2-3 days to 19 seconds, controls the fluctuation of dip coating film thickness at ±2μm, and increases the daily coating batch by 3 times.
Rust-with-wet construction
The water-based epoxy system reacts with the metal rust layer to form a chemical bond, eliminating the pre-treatment link. The case shows that after application in automobile parts factories, wastewater discharge is reduced by 92% and costs are reduced by 30%.
