On October 29, 2020, SZXW Advanced Materials Technology Group's graphene composite ceramic anticorrosive coating conference was held in Shenzhen. In addition to the release of five graphene products including graphene composite ceramic anticorrosive coatings, a major news was announced at the meeting:
The graphene modified coatings developed by SZXW will officially enter the field of chemical anti-corrosion, bringing enhanced upgrades to traditional anti-corrosion coatings, and driving China's anti-corrosion resin coatings into the 4.0 era with new technologies!
The global annual loss due to metal corrosion is as high as 700 billion US dollars
According to statistics, the world's annual direct economic loss caused by metal corrosion is about 700 billion US dollars.
In 2013, the academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering compiled a "China Corrosion Survey Report". After statistics, an important conclusion was reached: "China's annual economic loss due to corrosion accounts for about 5% of the GDP. If in 2008, As an example, the amount of loss is as high as 1.6 trillion yuan."
Rust is the Achilles heel of steel. The amount of steel scrap due to corrosion accounts for about 25%-30% of the steel output that year, causing a huge waste of resources. As a world-famous "infrastructure madman", China uses reinforced concrete and metal as materials with a large amount of use and a wide range of materials to play a vital role in major construction projects. However, as time goes by, concrete structures are caused by corrosion of steel bars. The premature destruction of metal and the maintenance costs caused by metal corrosion have become problems facing the world.
In addition, with the advancement of China's "One Belt One Road" construction, China's infrastructure construction industry and marine engineering have ushered in vigorous development. At the same time, the requirements for marine structural material performance and anti-corrosion technology are becoming more stringent, which is related to the service safety, life and reliability of ships, offshore engineering, and ocean-going facilities. Therefore, it is of great strategic significance to vigorously develop new anti-corrosion materials and new technologies for marine engineering.
Innovative technology fills the gap in the market and keeps up with national strategic needs
At the press conference, Xie Xueping, deputy general manager of SZXW Industrial Materials Division, gave a speech on the future strategic planning of graphene modified anticorrosive coatings. SZXW will gradually build the superiority of graphene modified anti-corrosion coatings in the field of special coatings, fill the gaps in the constantly updated market demand for the traditional anti-corrosion coatings industry, take chemical anti-corrosion as the entrance, and lead graphene to the road of innovation in the coatings industry.
The development of China's anti-corrosion coating technology is China's strategic development needs in the future. The appearance of graphene modified anticorrosive coatings will greatly promote China's progress in this field. The Chinese government has now included graphene modified anticorrosive coatings in the "13th Five-Year Plan" and the list of new materials that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on developing. This is also a great opportunity for the development of SZXW's graphene modified anticorrosive coatings.

This time SZXW released a total of five products, namely graphene composite ceramic anticorrosive resin coatings, graphene modified anticorrosive coatings, graphene modified functional coatings, supporting industrial anticorrosive coatings, industrial/commercial floor paints, and graphene modified coatings. Powder coating. Among them, two products have received wide attention from the industry, namely graphene composite ceramic corrosion-resistant resin coatings and graphene modified functional coatings.
SZXW's six product systems
It is reported that the graphene composite ceramic anticorrosive coating is a pioneering work both in terms of concept and technology. It was not only invented by SZXW, but also the first in the coatings market. This is the progress of China's coatings industry and the upgrade of anti-corrosion coatings.
Graphene composite ceramic anticorrosive resin is more "excellent" in performance than previous resin coatings. Coatings made with this resin as the main film-forming material are called graphene composite ceramic corrosion-resistant coatings because they look like ceramics. This new type of composite coating can be used for extreme environmental corrosion, marine corrosion and chemical corrosion resistance, and has the unparalleled advantages of traditional resins.
In addition, there is another product that breaks the bottleneck of coating technology and realizes the integration of anti-corrosion, thermal conductivity, and insulation technologies. It is a graphene modified functional coating. In the past anti-corrosion coating products, it is often only possible to paint the three functions separately, while the graphene modified functional coating has undergone a breakthrough and upgrade, and the graphene anti-corrosion and thermal conductive insulating paint has been developed, which can achieve one paint and three functions, multiple Protection.
In the face of huge market demand, transforming technology into large-scale production is the key to development. For this reason, Enwang Technology deployed its business as early as 5 years ago, and has built a resin factory and anticorrosive coating factory with an annual output of 10,000 tons.
High-end heavy anti-corrosion, breaking through the key technology monopoly of Europe and America for more than 20 years
Inorganic-organic hybrid resin coatings are pioneered by an American company, and specialize in equipment linings resistant to strong acids, strong alkalis, and strong solvents as the main application objects. At the same time, this resin material has excellent temperature resistance, hardness, wear resistance, and adhesion. It has been used in many industrial fields for more than 20 years. In the early days, this technology was only for military service, and later for civilian use, and its products accounted for a large market share in the global chemical corrosion protection.
According to statistics, in the field of anti-corrosion coatings, foreign-funded enterprises and joint ventures account for 80% of the domestic market, and heavy-duty anti-corrosion products occupy 100% of international brands.
Global coatings giant company
China was introduced into the country in 2005, but the price is relatively expensive. It is mainly used in the coating of ISO tank linings that transport strong corrosive media. In order to break the situation that China's heavy-duty anti-corrosion coatings and core raw materials are heavily dependent on imports, the SZXW R&D team has cooperated with various professional colleges and industry research experts, and has been looking for new technological breakthroughs.
In order to get rid of the technical limitations in the field of anti-corrosion coatings, the SZXW R&D team has begun to organize research and development and put it into production in recent years, drawing on foreign experience and combining China’s national conditions to develop a series of "graphene composite ceramic corrosion-resistant coatings", which not only achieved new varieties and performance Breakthrough, while expanding its scope of application, and has completely independent intellectual property rights.
At the same time, SZXW chemical anticorrosive coatings, as the "overall graphene solution", can serve a variety of coating environments. For example, they can work with wet, that is, when the ship needs to be painted, it does not need to be pulled back to shore and can be directly Painting in water can save a lot of maintenance and repair costs.
