Vacuum coating coatings have a wide range of applications and the industry is developing well

Vacuum coating coating is one of the important materials indispensable for vacuum coating technology. Vacuum coating coatings have the advantages of good heat resistance, not easy to fade, good color retention, strong adhesion, and good weather resistance. They are widely used in electronic products, handicrafts, packaging, home decoration and other fields. There are many types of vacuum coating coatings. According to different substrates, they can be divided into two categories: radiation curing coatings and oxidative polymerization coatings.

According to the “2022-2027 China Vacuum Coating Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, The raw materials of vacuum coating coatings include phenolic polyurethane, polyurethane, epoxy resin, etc. As a polymer material, polyurethane is widely used in the fields of building insulation and waterproofing. In 2021, my country’s polyurethane output reached 15.312 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%. At present, my country’s polyurethane industry as a whole shows a situation of overcapacity, and its output can fully meet the production needs of vacuum coating coatings. With sufficient supply of raw materials and continuous innovation and breakthroughs in vacuum coating technology, my country’s vacuum coating industry will develop rapidly.

Radiation curing coatings and oxidative polymerization coatings are the mainstream products in the vacuum coating coating market. Radiation curing coatings include infrared (IR) curing coatings, ultraviolet (UV) curing coatings, X-ray curing coatings, and electron beam (EB) curing coatings. Radiation-curing coatings usually use unsaturated resins as base materials. UV-curing coatings have the advantages of low energy consumption, no pollution, and high production efficiency, and are their representative products. Oxidative polymeric coatings are mainly used as engineering plastic substrates and are resistant to thermal changes and corrosion.

Vacuum coatings have a wide range of applications, with engineering plastics, metal products and electronic products being the main demand ends. In the field of engineering plastics, vacuum coating coatings can be used as plastic substrates such as PP and ABS. ABS plastic has broad application prospects in new energy vehicles, aerospace, mechanical processing and other fields. Driven by downstream demand, my country’s vacuum coating market continues to expand.

my country’s vacuum coating industry started late and relied entirely on imports before the 21st century. After years of experience accumulation, my country’s vacuum coating coating companies have continued to make progress in production technology and product quality, and the gap with overseas advanced technology has gradually narrowed. Guangdong Shenzhen Industrial Co., Ltd., Shanghai Feikai Optoelectronic Materials Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Vacuum Coating Coating Co., Ltd. are the main suppliers of vacuum coating coatings in my country.

Industry analysts said that as a special coating, vacuum coating coating has the advantages of good heat resistance and not easy to fade. It is widely used in packaging, metal, plastic and many other fields. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials and the continuous breakthroughs in production technology of local companies, the localization process of vacuum coating coatings in my country continues to accelerate, and the development trend of the industry continues to improve.
