Color paste is the powder particle pigment and resin, functional additives, cosolvents, etc., and after processing to get a color, coloring strength and rheology to meet certain specifications of the pigment concentrate. Color paste and toner, color film, color oil, color paste and masterbatch are the common coloring methods of pigments, which are mainly used in coatings, inks, paper, latex and textile industries.
Overview of 1. Color Paste Industry
Color paste is the powder particle pigment and resin, functional additives, cosolvents, etc., and after processing to get a color, coloring strength and rheology to meet certain specifications of the pigment concentrate. Color paste and toner, color film, color oil, color paste and masterbatch are the common coloring methods of pigments, which are mainly used in coatings, inks, paper, latex and textile industries. In the past, downstream enterprises often used self-grinding color paste. The traditional use of pigment powder or simple self-made color paste had poor color reproducibility and uneven coloring. Due to the lack of professional technology and technology, the pigment particles were relatively coarse, the coloring power was not high, and the pollution was serious. When added to the paint, the paint had poor light resistance, weather resistance, easy fading, pulverization, etc. With the tightening of environmental protection policies and the progress of commercial color paste production technology, the commercial color paste industry is gradually rising. In 2020, the market size of China's color paste commercialization is expected to exceed 300000 tons, of which textile color paste and architectural coatings account for more than half of the total market share.
As the color paste industry is still in an extremely decentralized stage of development, many production enterprises, the overall market size changes are difficult to determine, but it is obvious that China's color paste industry is closely related to the production of coatings. For example, the architectural coating industry is the most important field of use of color paste. At present, about 90% of architectural coatings in China are water-based coatings, and most of them use water-based color paste as colorant. In addition, in the field of textile, paper in recent years, the rapid development of raw liquid coloring fiber, latex, etc., contribute to the relatively stable market capacity of the color pulp, the share of commodity color pulp to increase.
2. market competition pattern
Color paste can be divided into architectural coating color paste, industrial coating color paste, latex color paste, paper making color paste, tape color paste, textile fiber color paste, synthetic leather color paste, etc. According to different raw materials used, color paste can be divided into inorganic color paste and organic color paste. According to different basic solvents used, color paste can be divided into water-based color paste and solvent-based color paste. According to different production forms, color paste can be divided into self-grinding color paste and commercial color paste. With the color paste production enterprises continue to strengthen research and development, as well as the downstream industry to gradually understand the color paste, the application of color paste to expand to the textile industry. The traditional fiber coloring mainly uses dyes, that is, the way of spinning white silk first and dyeing it. Compared with the traditional fiber dyeing technology, the original solution coloring technology has obvious advantages. Its appearance converts the fiber colorant from dye to color paste, which opens up a new application market for the color paste.
At present, the concentration of the color paste industry is still relatively low and the technical force is relatively scattered. The differences in the formulation design, grinding and dispersion technology, color matching technology and quality control means determine the level of R & D and production of different grades in the industry. Most domestic enterprises basically do not have the ability of independent research and development, can only rely on the existing general technology or purchase 1. two product formulations, production is limited to individual varieties, quality control awareness is weak, in raw materials, additives and other aspects of the selection of materials is not good, the ability of sustainable development is not strong. With its strong research and development capabilities, international giants such as Degusse, Hibis, Clariant, BASF and other companies have unique formulas, key additives are synthesized by themselves, and some high-end technical secrets are exclusive. Have a certain competitive advantage in technology research and development.
3. focus on downstream market
According to the development of the downstream market of the industry in the past two years, the two main outlets of the future color paste industry come from the construction industry and the latex industry. Since 2017, my country's old community renovation plan has been implemented rapidly. As of 2019, there are about 160000 old communities that need to be renovated across the country, involving a construction area of about 4 billion square meters, involving a total of 42 million households, and an estimated need for building coatings of 5 million tons. In addition, under the influence of the trend of fine decoration, the future demand for architectural coatings at the end of the project will have a larger release space. At present, in order to unify the color of urban buildings, major cities have begun to stipulate the color of building facade coatings, which will help to stimulate the market demand of the color paste industry.
Rubber industry is an important part of the rubber industry, latex is mainly used in gloves, medical products and balloons and other fields. In 2020, the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, medical protective gloves as the only hand isolation protective equipment, play a two-way isolation protection role and there is no alternative products, in hospitals, shopping malls, public transport and other crowded places of the use of greatly increased. As one of the important raw materials for medical protective gloves, the market demand is expected to grow explosively in the short and medium term.
