The prospects for the development and production of patterned resin coatings are very broad. In developed countries such as the United States, epoxy resin coatings occupies a large proportion in the coating application market. Epoxy resin coatings are widely used and have excellent anti-corrosion properties, making them the first choice for anti-corrosion coatings. Epoxy resin coatings account for 40% of the anti-corrosion market, and other resin coatings account for 60%.

Epoxy resin has been widely used in anti-corrosion coatings, epoxy primers, marine coatings, asphalt coatings, oil field anti-corrosion coatings and calcium plastic coatings. The application of epoxy resin coatings is second only to acrylic coatings and alkyd coatings in the world coatings market, ranking third in resin coatings. In addition to anti-corrosion properties, epoxy resin coatings of the Global Coatings Network also have the weather resistance of chlorinated rubber coatings or acrylic resin coatings, and have both the functions of top coating and primer coating. A thicker anti-corrosion and weather-resistant film can be formed with this coating once, so it can reduce coating costs and reduce VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions.

The development of high-grade epoxy resin powder coating products has broad prospects. This kind of environmentally friendly coating is conducive to environmental governance and should be developed vigorously. Petroleum products are poor conductors of electricity. Very dangerous static electricity will be generated during production, storage, and transportation, causing static sparks to cause fires and other accidents. Therefore, large-scale petroleum storage tanks should have good electrostatic conductivity, and epoxy powder antistatic coatings should be used when the inner wall of the oil tank is anti-corrosion.

Epoxy coatings have traditionally been the largest consumer of epoxy resins in the United States, and coating sales account for about 50% of the total consumption of epoxy coatings. At present, epoxy resin coatings in the United States have greatly exceeded alkyd coatings and acrylic coatings, and the annual growth rate of powder coatings in the United States and Western Europe is 140%, showing a trend of rapid development.

Therefore, in the future coatings market, in addition to the development of high-end coatings, epoxy resin coatings have a wide range of application values and should be paid attention to by domestic coating companies.
