Analysis of the development trend of the coating industry1
According to the data provided by the China National Coatings Industry Association, in the first half of 2014, the total output of coatings in China was 7.7116 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%; the main business income increased by 13.2% year-on-year; the total profit increased by 25.7% year-on-year; the main economic indicators are higher than the industry Average. Industry insiders pointed out that the large increase in the profit of the coating industry was mainly due to the decline in the prices of bulk raw materials. From the perspective of subdivided application fields, the operating conditions of civil coatings are better than that of industrial coatings. The original pattern of low profits for civil coatings and high profits for industrial coatings is changing, and the two are gradually converging. According to industry experts, with the accelerated pace of urbanization in China, some natural villages are disappearing, and the demand for coatings for new buildings not only increases rapidly for architectural coatings, but also for home appliances and furniture. In addition, the market demand for interior and exterior wall repainting has a lot of room for growth. In sharp contrast, the growth in demand for industrial coatings has slowed due to the slowdown in domestic industrial investment growth. Therefore, civilian coatings will become an important engine driving the growth of the industry. To sum up, the pattern of high profits for industrial coatings and low profits for civilian coatings is changing. Since the growth rate of demand for civilian coatings has been higher than that of industrial coatings, the“close to the people”The route is becoming an important direction for the structural adjustment of the coatings industry. At the same time, green products such as water-based coatings, high-curing coatings, water-based UV-curable coatings and powder coatings will be an important direction for future development.

The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
The air permeability tester is a high-precision testing instrument designed to evaluate the breathability of PPE materials, textile fabrics, non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, and industrial filter media. It plays a critical role in quality control, product development, and laboratory research across multiple industries including PPE, textiles, automotive interiors, and filtration systems.
Modern instruments such as the GT-C27 Air Permeability Tester are developed with advanced sensor systems, automated control logic, and multi-standard compatibility to ensure reliable and repeatable results. Complying with global standards such as ISO 9237, ASTM D737, DIN 53887, and GB/T 5453, it guarantees internationally recognized testing performance.
With high automation, accurate pressure sensing, and flexible unit conversion systems, air permeability testing equipment significantly improves testing efficiency while reducing human error. It is widely used in PPE manufacturing, textile engineering, non-woven product development, and industrial filtration quality inspection.
