Sodium Feldspar accelerates high-quality development of China’s coatings industry

At present, China is still the world’s largest coatings market, and China Coatings continues to serve as an important engine for the world’s coatings. It is expected that in the next three years, the compound annual growth rate of global coating production and output value will reach 3.1% and 5.8%. The coatings industry achieved a “good start” from January to April 2024. With the good news of a “good start” for the coatings industry in the first four months of 2024, the key role of high-quality Sodium Feldspar powder in coatings has once again become the focus of the industry.

Sodium Feldspar powder, as an important industrial additive, plays an irreplaceable role in the coating industry. Its high hardness, low conductivity, good chemical stability and weather resistance have significantly improved the hardness, wear resistance, water resistance and stain resistance of the coating.The professional role of Sodium Feldspar in the coating industry is reflected in the following aspects:

Control of rheological properties

Sodium Feldspar powder can significantly regulate the rheological properties of coatings due to its unique adsorption and dispersion properties. This includes improving the viscosity, fluidity and leveling of coatings, making the coating easier to handle during the coating process, reducing dripping and splashing, and improving coating efficiency and quality. In addition, the addition of Sodium Feldspar powder can also make the coating have better wettability, ensuring that the coating can evenly cover the surface of the substrate and improve the coating effect.

Filling, thickening and enhancing adhesion

As a low-cost filler, Sodium Feldspar powder can effectively fill the gaps in the paint, increase the volume and consistency of the paint, thereby improving the hiding power and adhesion of the paint. Its fine-grained nature allows Sodium Feldspar powder to be densely packed in the coating system, reducing the pores in the coating film and improving the density and durability of the coating. At the same time, the addition of Sodium Feldspar powder can also enhance the bonding force between the coating and the surface of the coated object, preventing the coating from peeling off and peeling off.

Improve temperature resistance and weather resistance

Sodium Feldspar powder has excellent chemical stability and thermal stability, and can maintain the stability and performance of the coating film under high temperatures and harsh environments. Its high melting point and high thermal conductivity enable the coating to resist high temperature deformation and scorching, while also resisting erosion from ultraviolet rays, rain, weathering and chemical substances, extending the service life of the coating. Therefore, the application of Sodium Feldspar powder in coatings can significantly improve the temperature resistance and weather resistance of the coating film and meet the needs of use under various extreme conditions.

Improve mechanical strength and durability

The addition of Sodium Feldspar powder can enhance the mechanical strength of the coating film, including hardness, wear resistance and impact resistance. Its high hardness enables the coating to resist scratches and abrasions, keeping the surface smooth and beautiful. At the same time, Sodium Feldspar powder can also improve the powdering resistance and aging resistance of the coating film, prevent the coating from powdering, cracking and peeling during use, and enhance the durability and service life of the coating.

In the future, as the global coatings market continues to grow and China’s coatings industry continues to upgrade, high-quality Sodium Feldspar powder will play a more critical role in the coatings industry. We have reason to believe that with the help of high-quality fillers such as Sodium Feldspar powder, China’s coatings industry will continue to serve as an important engine for the world’s coatings and promote the development of the global coatings industry in a more environmentally friendly, efficient, and high-quality direction.
