Differences in performance characteristics and competition
Polymer Antioxidant Anti-Corrosion Coating and silicone anti-corrosion coatings have significantly different performance characteristics, which is the basis for their competition. Polymer Antioxidant Anti-Corrosion Coating has good antioxidant properties and can effectively resist the erosion of oxygen on the coated object. It performs well in some environments that are sensitive to oxidation. It can be closely combined with the matrix through chemical bonding and other methods to provide better anti-corrosion effect. Silicone anti-corrosion coatings are known for their excellent temperature resistance, weather resistance and hydrophobic properties. Silicone coatings can remain stable in high-temperature environments, are not prone to decomposition or aging, and can effectively prevent moisture penetration in humid or harsh climate conditions, which gives them a competitive advantage in specific high-temperature and high-humidity environments. The two coatings compete on different performance focuses and strive to occupy the market in their respective areas of advantage.
Competition and overlap in application areas
In terms of application fields, the two both compete and overlap. In the chemical industry, for some containers storing common chemical substances, Polymer Antioxidant Anti-Corrosion Coating can meet the basic anti-corrosion needs and prevent chemical substances from corroding the containers. However, when it comes to high-temperature reactors or chemical equipment that are exposed to the outdoors for a long time and have large temperature changes, the temperature resistance and weather resistance of silicone anti-corrosion coatings make them more competitive. However, in some intermediate fields that require both anti-oxidation and certain temperature requirements, such as the anti-corrosion of certain automobile parts, both have application opportunities, forming a competitive situation. In marine engineering, although silicone coatings have advantages in hydrophobicity and weather resistance, Polymer Antioxidant Anti-Corrosion Coating also has a unique role in combating oxidative components in seawater, and the two compete.
Reflection of complementarity
The complementarity of the two coatings is also remarkable. In some complex industrial environments, multi-layer coating can be used, using Polymer Antioxidant Anti-Corrosion Coating as a primer, using its good adhesion and anti-oxidation capabilities to provide basic protection for the substrate and enhance the connection with subsequent coatings. layer bonding. Then use silicone anti-corrosion coating as the topcoat to take advantage of its temperature resistance, weather resistance and hydrophobicity to further improve the overall anti-corrosion performance. This combination can make full use of the strengths of both, cope with complex and harsh environmental conditions, and achieve protective effects that cannot be achieved with a single coating.
The relationship between R&D and development trends
With the continuous advancement of coating research and development, the competitive and complementary relationship between the two is also changing dynamically. The new Polymer Antioxidant Anti-Corrosion Coating may continue to improve its temperature resistance and weather resistance and move into the advantageous areas of silicone coatings. Silicone anticorrosive coatings may also have improvements in oxidation resistance. At the same time, R&D personnel are also exploring how to better leverage the complementarity of the two and develop more targeted composite coating systems to meet the evolving industrial needs, and jointly promote the advancement of anti-corrosion coating technology in competition and complementarity.
