Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the accelerating process of urbanization, the amount of coatings has increased rapidly. New buildings are constantly rising, the demolition and transformation of the original buildings are never interrupted, bridges and road infrastructure emerge in endlessly, and the city color is changing with each passing day, which are closely related to the use of paint.

Facing the development trend of low-carbon in the future, the coating industry has already prepared. In recent years, the coating industry has been committed to the development of low pollution, high solid content or solvent-free, including powder, UV curable coatings, water-based coatings, high temperature resistant thermal insulation coatings and high temperature resistant anticorrosive coatings, and the development of low environmental risk antifouling technology and antifouling coatings; In order to promote the development of new technologies, new materials and new technologies in the coatings industry, we should develop non lead and chromium antirust pigments and substitutes, develop cleaner production processes of titanium dioxide and iron oxide pigments, and actively formulate evaluation standards for cleaner production processes in the coatings industry.

In addition, the new coatings developed in recent years, such as glass energy-saving coatings, radiation cooling coatings, sunscreen and heat insulation coatings, high-temperature sealing coatings, high-efficiency and stain resistant solar heat absorption coatings, also bring new development opportunities for the coatings industry on the low-carbon road.
