Electrophoretic paint (electrophoretic paint) has a wide range of applications. Cathodic electrophoretic paint is the mainstream product in the market.

Electrophoretic paint, also known as electrophoretic paint, refers to paint that uses water-soluble or water-dispersed ionic polymers as raw materials and is used to coat metal workpieces. Electrophoretic coatings have the advantages of good adhesion, uniform coating, green environmental protection, good coating effect, and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in many fields such as home appliance manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, electronic and electrical, and building materials manufacturing.

​​ ​According to the different electrodes of the workpiece to be coated, electrophoretic coatings can be divided into two types: cathodic electrophoretic coatings and anode electrophoretic coatings. Cathodic electrophoretic coatings are the mainstream products in the electrophoretic coatings market. They can be subdivided into three types: corner anti-rust cathodic electrophoretic coatings, UV-curable electrophoretic coatings and self-layered cathodic electrophoretic coatings. They are widely used in the automotive manufacturing field, with demand accounting for nearly Seventy percent. Benefiting from the accelerated development of downstream industries, my country’s cathodic electrophoretic coatings market continues to grow, reaching 7.12 billion yuan in 2022.

Electrophoretic coatings are usually made of acrylic resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, etc. as raw materials. Taking acrylic resin as an example, it has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high color retention, water resistance, and good weather resistance, and is widely used in the field of coatings. Benefiting from technological progress, my country’s acrylic resin output has maintained a long-term growth trend, reaching 1.678 million tons in 2022, setting a record high. The rich variety and sufficient supply of raw materials will provide favorable conditions for the development of my country’s electrophoretic coating industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Electrophoretic Paint (Electrophoretic Paint) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 shows that electrophoretic coatings are widely used in many fields such as home appliance manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, electronic and electrical, and building materials manufacturing. In the field of home appliance manufacturing, electrophoretic coatings can be used to coat the surfaces of home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and microwave ovens; in the field of automobile manufacturing, electrophoretic coatings can be used in the manufacturing of vehicle frames, doors, and auto parts; in the field of electronics and electrical, It can be used to decorate mobile phones, tablets, smart wearable devices, etc. In the future, as the development of downstream industries accelerates, my country’s electrophoretic coatings market space will expand.

In terms of market competition, the main manufacturers of electrophoretic coatings in my country include Jinlitai, Kede Technology, Xinbo Co., Ltd., etc. Jinlitai focuses on the R&D, production and sales of high-performance coatings such as electrophoretic coatings and ceramic coatings, and has a complete cathodic electrophoretic coating product system. According to Jinlitai’s corporate annual report, the company’s electrophoretic coating business revenue will reach 360 million yuan in 2022.

Industry analysts said that electrophoretic coatings are widely used in many fields. In the future, with the gradual release of market demand, the development trend of my country’s industry will continue to move towards good. At present, cathodic electrophoretic coatings are the mainstream products in the electrophoretic coatings market and are widely used in the automotive field. In the future, as the demand for subdivided products increases, the prosperity of my country’s electrophoretic coatings industry will further increase.
