On June 26th, Wu Xiaoming, Secretary General of Ningbo Coatings and Coating Industry Association, and Yu Guo, Chairman of Changmu (Ningbo) New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., visited Zhejiang Yutong New Materials Co., Ltd. The two sides had in-depth exchanges and discussions on the basic situation of the water-based coating market, the application of upstream and downstream industries of coatings, and raw material technology.

Core leaders such as Liang Xinfang, Chairman of Yutong Company, Yang Yaliang, General Manager, and Zeng Chao, Director of Industrial Paint Division, introduced the company from four aspects: technological innovation, corporate culture, major achievements, and military civilian integration.

It is reported that Zhejiang Yutong New Materials Co., Ltd. was founded in 1994 and is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and production of marine anti-corrosion coatings. Our leading products include over a dozen categories and more than 300 varieties of alkyd, epoxy, chlorinated rubber, asphalt, polyurethane, acrylic, water-based coatings, resins, etc. They are widely used for anti-corrosion, beautification and decoration of various water and land steel facilities such as ships, bridges, oil tanks, containers, and ocean platforms.

With the rapid development of China's marine economy, the anti-corrosion of ships and marine engineering facilities has become a key issue that needs to be addressed in the development process. Marine anti-corrosion has become a powerful guarantee for the development of the marine economy.

Secretary General Wu proposed that this visit is to understand the development trends of the coatings industry in both regions and the application of water-based coatings by enterprises. At the same time, the association strives to build a communication and exchange platform for the industry, promoting the development of integrated industries.

She stated that this is not only highly in line with General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions to build a maritime power, but also a powerful move to deepen the implementation of the 19th National Congress report's emphasis on accelerating the construction of an innovative country.

In recent years, air pollution has become severe, and VOCs have become one of the main pollutants in air pollution. A new round of environmental inspections has begun, and consumers' demands for environmental protection have become increasingly strong. The trend of "oil to water" is becoming more and more common.

In order to keep up with market development needs, Changmu (Ningbo) New Material Technology Company has invested research and development teams and funds to accelerate the development of water-based resins.

Changmu (Ningbo) New Material Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2016 (LONGWOOD). It is a national high-tech enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. The company's independently developed chemical process conversion type air drying water-based resin technology has reached the international leading level. It is the drafting and formulation unit of the existing national industry standards "Water based alkyd resin for coatings", "Water based anti-corrosion coatings for steel structures", and "Water based coating technology for steel drums". Its products are widely recognized by users.

Chairman Yu Guo introduced that this technology is a complete replacement for traditional paints, inks, and electroplating. The water-based industrial paints, water-based inks, and water-based electroplating products produced using this technology are not only non-toxic and safe, but also healthy and environmentally friendly.

After the implementation of this project, water-based industrial coatings can completely replace the use of traditional solvent based series paints and reduce user costs by more than 20%. If all traditional solvent based paints in the country are replaced by water-based paints, it can save more than 80 billion yuan in usage costs for users nationwide in one year.

Yu Guo stated that the introduction of environmental policies, regulations, and standards has greatly promoted the innovation and development of ship coatings. The introduction and formulation of different environmental regulations have put forward new requirements for coatings, thus accelerating the pace of innovation in the coatings industry. The research on testing standards and methods also provides a basis for the development of new anti fouling coatings that are more environmentally friendly and reduce fuel consumption.

The development of Yutong Company cannot be separated from a good corporate culture and good products. After the exchange, we have gained a clearer understanding of the construction of corporate culture and the application of water-based paint. Yu Guo expressed his gratitude to Secretary General Wu of Ningbo Coatings Association for building a platform for communication and exchange between the upstream and downstream industries of the paint industry. He had the opportunity to promote the company's new products to the market and promote the application and development of environmentally friendly water-based paint.
