The reporter learned from the Hefei Institute of Material Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that experts from the Institute of Technical Biology and Agricultural Engineering have successfully developed a new type of nanomaterial. The experiment proves that the coating can reduce the dust stain on the surface of the paint by more than 50% and save manual cleaning. The cost is more than 50%, which is undoubtedly a happy event for the coatings industry.

This new type of coating, which is fundamentally different from traditional coatings, is called a specialty coating in the coatings industry. Refers to a variety of special-purpose coatings, in addition to protective effects, special coatings give objects a variety of specific functions. Different specialty coatings have different characteristics.

Scientists have never stopped researching specialty coatings, and some special coatings have appeared in the early years. Although the scope of application is relatively small, it is still well known.

According to news reports, researchers in Michigan in the past few years have invented a self-healing, durable superhydrophobic coating material made from fluorinated polyurethane elastomer and fluorosilicone. It has excellent super-hydrophobic properties and maintains super-hydrophobic properties even after being scraped and fired.

The researchers made a coating that was more durable than previous superhydrophobic coatings by combining two hard and one soft plastic layers. The surface of the coating consists of a layer of nanoparticles that will roll off the surface of the coating as if it were on a grill. In addition, this super-hydrophobic coating is transparent and has excellent UV-resistant properties. It can be used in anti-fouling of skyscraper glass and anti-fog in bathroom mirrors, creating a new world in the field of architecture.

After that, the Australian National University developed a new type of spray material with excellent hydrophobicity. The protective coating made of this material can be used for waterproofing of mobile phones, anti-icing of aircraft or anti-corrosion of ship's side. No longer have to worry about the phone getting into the water, this is really a good news for our big mobile phone users.

In 2015, the Dutch company AkzoNobel released a new powder coating product, “InterponReFlex High-Reflection Powder Coating”, which can improve lighting efficiency by up to 30% for all types of lamps. Thanks to its excellent reflective properties, this powder coating further reduces energy consumption. Like other powder products, it is a non-solvent coating and contains no volatile organic compounds (VOC).

“Without LEDs, fluorescents, halogens or other light sources, InterponReFlex high-reflective powder coatings can help lamps reflect stronger and brighter light at rated power,” Mark Reekie, Marketing Manager, Western Europe, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings added: “The phase In addition to its excellent non-coating solutions, InterponReFlex high-reflective powder coatings offer outstanding impact and flexibility, corrosion resistance and UV resistance, and ease of construction."

In the same year, Guizhou Expressway Group Co., Ltd. took the lead in organizing the “Study on the Light Environment and Coping Technology of Mountain Expressway Tunnels” and developed a coating with flame retardant energy storage and luminescence.

The paint is stored with energy from any source (including lights, lights, or even cell phone sources) and can continue to illuminate for more than 12 hours in the dark. It has the characteristics of brightening and brightening, delayed illuminating, washing resistance, pollution resistance and long service life. Its light wave has the special function of penetrating smoke in the light source or after the light source is extinguished urgently. It can provide emergency lighting to ensure the safe viewing distance of the driving. To reduce security risks. When a fire breaks out in a tunnel, it can provide emergency lighting for life and reduce the loss of life and property.

In recent years, Line-X has developed a new type of coating Line-X, which is a super-tough protective coating product. Line-X can be quickly dried 5 seconds after spraying to form a dense and elastic layer. The protective layer also increases the toughness of the treated substrate by 300%, which is much higher than the general protective coating on the market. It is said that at the time it was known as the most perverted black technology in history, and nothing was put on it.

We may have heard of a very powerful waterproof coating Ultra-Ever Dry before, and it is not in a grade compared with Line-X. For Line-X, not only can it be waterproof, but also bulletproof and anti-blasting, so it is often used in the military field.

Some experts said that compared with traditional coating technology, special coatings have a wide variety of uses and are widely used. They are forming a large-scale high-tech industrial cluster with a very broad market prospect and extremely important strategic significance.
