Pigments are an indispensable raw material in the production process of coatings, and are divided into two types: organic and inorganic. Synthetic inorganic pigments that have undergone chemical reactions include various metal oxides, chromates, carbonates, sulfates and sulfides, such as aluminum powder, copper powder, carbon black, zinc white and titanium dioxide, all of which belong to the category of inorganic pigments . Inorganic pigments are widely used in coatings, plastics, synthetic fibers, rubber, building materials, stationery, painting pigments, inks, paper and other fields. It is also the most widely used and widely used pigment in the coating industry.
Pigment market and coatings industry are inseparable
The data shows that in June 2011, there were 342 enterprises in the national pigment manufacturing industry, the total industrial output value of the month was 5935.407 million yuan, the industrial sales output value was 5834.111 million yuan, and the export delivery value was 590.861 million yuan. In July of the same year, the total industrial output value was 5,648,328,000 yuan, the industrial sales output value was 5,269,690,000 yuan, and the export delivery value was 622,974,000 yuan.
With the recovery of the global economy, the domestic and foreign industries such as building materials, coatings and paints, plastics, inks and other industries have experienced rapid growth, and the demand for inorganic pigments has also increased rapidly. It is understood that in 2010, my country's total paint production was 9.666 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 22.8%; my country's annual pigment output in 2010 was about 2,247,640 tons, a year-on-year increase of 22%; in 2011, the national paint production reached 1,079.5 tons, a year-on-year increase of 16.44% Based on this calculation, the national pigment output in 2011 is expected to exceed 2.6 million tons. It can be said that the development of pigments has been inseparable from the paint industry.
The prospects of the inorganic pigment industry in the 12th Five-Year Plan can be expected
Inorganic pigments are an important part of inorganic pigments. Due to their non-toxicity and various excellent properties, the annual growth rate of inorganic pigments has been over 50% in recent years. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, great progress will be made in the research and development, production and application of type inorganic pigments, and type inorganic pigments that are non-toxic and can replace traditional lead and cadmium pigments become popular. Inorganic pigments are also being actively developed in China, which brings hope to the application of downstream industries, and the industrial prospects are promising.
Pearlescent pigments are widely used and have bright prospects
It is hoped that the organic combination of color expression and product function can reflect the product grade, reveal individuality and meet the psychological needs of consumer groups at different stages. The pearlescent pigments greatly meet people's requirements. According to HC Coating Materials Network, the application of pearlescent pigments is becoming more and more extensive. Today, there are more than 10 pearlescent pigment enterprises of various sizes in my country. As of 2010, my country has an annual production capacity of 25,000 tons of pearlescent pigments, of which 10,000 tons of Chinese pearlescent pigments are exported to countries around the world.
After years of development in my country's pearlescent pigment industry, many enterprises were forced to close down for various reasons, but the overall development situation is healthy and good. With the improvement of the production capacity of my country's pearlescent pigment industry, the supplier market pattern of pearlescent pigment raw material suppliers is also gradually taking shape. However, there are many pearlescent pigment manufacturers in my country, and the customers are scattered, the sales cost is high, and the terminal competition is very fierce.
