At the start of this year, bulk chemical materials have seen a broad-based surge in prices.   What’s driving this round of increases? The root cause is the international situation. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have directly pushed up both crude oil and shipping costs.   Against this backdrop, price hikes have spread across a wide range of chemical products. Polyester resin, acrylic emulsions and monomers, epoxy resin, leveling agents, dispersants, and others have seen increases ranging from 3% to 12%. The most striking case is epoxy resin, which has surged by more than 30% in just one month.     Among the more specialized materials, the TGIC curing agent has jumped from 31,000 yuan per ton to 36,000 yuan per ton—a sharp rise of 5,000 yuan per ton, or 16%. Orders are already booked through mid-April, and manufacturers are restricting new sales, accepting only repeat orders from existing customers.   As for the HAA curing agent, new orders have been completely suspended. Manufacturers have stated that due to “a sharp surge in the price of raw material adipic acid, combined with production capacity constraints, no new orders will be accepted in the short term.” The current price stands at 15–17.5 yuan per kilogram.   Titanium dioxide (rutile type) has also seen notable increases. Before the Chinese New Year, the mainstream ex-factory price was between 11,800 and 12,500 yuan per ton. It has now risen to 12,800–13,600 yuan per ton, while the chloride-process grade is priced at 13,800–14,500 yuan per ton—an increase of more than 1,000 yuan per ton compared to the end of last year.   For further updates, please subscribe to our newsletter—we will continue to track developments.

In July 2025, the global printing ink industry was once again confronted with rising raw material costs. On July 3, 2025, Sun Chemical announced a price increase across its entire portfolio of nitrocellulose-containing products in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, citing “significant raw material cost increases.”January 28, 2026 – Sun Chemical Packaging and Graphics will implement a price increase across its portfolio of nitrocellulose containing products in Latin America, driven by sustained and significant increases in nitrocellulose costs. The adjustments take effect immediately, or as stipulated in existing customer agreements, with the level of increase varying by product type and nitrocellulose(NC) content. （Source: Sun Chemical Official Website）   Nitrocellulose, also know as NC, is a key functional resin in traditional solvent-based inks. It delivers excellent printability, leveling, fast-drying performance, and effective fixation of metallic or pearlescent pigments. However, nitrocellulose is classified as a flammable and explosive hazardous material (UN2556, Class 4.1), requiring extremely stringent conditions for transportation and storage. Even a slight oversight can lead to safety incidents.   If price increases can still be absorbed through cost pass-through, the inherent nature of nitrocellulose presents a safety hazard that can never be circumvented. On August 12, 2015, the massive explosion at the Tianjin Port claimed 165 lives and injured 798 people. One of the direct causes of the accident was the accelerated decomposition of nitrocellulose stored in containers under high temperatures, leading to heat accumulation, spontaneous combustion, and ultimately the explosion.   Nitrocellulose slowly decomposes and releases heat at room temperature. Its decomposition accelerates above 40°C, and spontaneous combustion may occur at approximately 180°C. During transportation, it must be kept away from high temperatures, direct sunlight, and open flames. Loading and unloading require strict avoidance of collision and friction, and it must not be mixed with other flammable or explosive materials. These stringent requirements have always been a "Sword of Damocles" hanging over industrial production and logistics practices.   Facing the dual pressures of rising nitrocellulose prices and supply constraints, the ink industry has begun actively seeking alternatives. CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate) has emerged as one of the most attractive alternatives. CAB is a cellulose derivative modified with special functional groups, capable of maintaining high ink performance while significantly enhancing safety and environmental friendliness.   Why Choose CAB(Cellulose Acetate Butyrate) for Inks? CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate) acts as a functional additive in the ink industry. Its mechanism of action is similar to that of nitrocellulose, yet it avoids the latter's fatal flaws. Control of Solvent Release and Drying Speed CAB can precisely regulate the drying process of ink on printing substrates, enabling instant drying required for high-speed printing. This prevents issues such as set-off, smudging, or plate blocking, while maintaining the gloss and adhesion of the ink layer. Improved Flow and Printability CAB reduces ink viscosity and optimizes flow, allowing the ink to better fill printing plates. It also promotes rapid leveling, forming smooth ink films and enhancing dot sharpness and print accuracy. Fixing of Metallic and Pearlescent Pigments In metallic or pearlescent inks, CAB quickly locks flake pigments in place, ensuring high brightness and uniform metallic effects, while preventing uneven sparkle or cloudiness. Enhanced Pigment Dispersion and Stability CAB improves pigment wetting and dispersion, preventing settling or flocculation, and enhancing color consistency and gloss in printed materials. Improved Film Surface Properties By increasing hardness and scratch resistance, CAB protects printed materials during subsequent processing, transportation, or stacking, while also improving gloss and anti-blocking performance. Adhesion and Chemical Resistance CAB provides excellent adhesion to non-absorbent substrates such as PE, PP, PET, PVC, and metallic foils. It also enhances the ink film’s resistance to oils, alcohol, and weak acids or bases, making it suitable for high-standard applications such as food and cosmetic packaging. High Formulation Compatibility CAB is compatible with nitrocellulose, polyamide, acrylic resins, and various solvents, allowing it to be used as a versatile modifier in a wide range of solvent-based ink formulations.     Top CAB Solutions as Alternatives to Nitrocellulose Our CAB-400, CAB-500, CAB-600, CAB-800, and CAB-900 series products are all finely processed and supplied in powder form, posing no hazardous risks. The films produced from these materials exhibit both high toughness and excellent chemical and oil resistance. They are widely applicable in various ink systems, including Flexographic Printing Inks, Screen Printing Inks, and Gravure Printing Inks. These products can effectively replace the functionality of nitrocellulose in printing inks, while eliminating the safety risks associated with its transportation and storage.  In the long term, the nitrocellulose shortage is no short-term fluctuation. As geopolitical tensions persist, military demand will not subside, and the civilian supply of nitrocellulose will remain under sustained pressure. Meanwhile, global attention to industrial safety continues to intensify. The lesson of Tianjin Port serves as a stark reminder: beyond performance and price, safety must be a core consideration in supply chain decisions.   The replacement of nitrocellulose with CAB is not a stopgap measure, but an inevitable direction driven by technological evolution and safety upgrading. For ink manufacturers and printing companies, now is the optimal time for proactive transformation—not only to address the current raw material crisis, but also to build a safer, more stable, and more sustainable future.  

In extremely harsh environments such as chemical storage tanks, sea-crossing bridges, and flue gas desulfurization towers, ordinary coatings often powder and peel within a few years. Yet, there is a material that can remain steadfast on the job for decades. Its core secret lies within glass fragments thinner than a human hair—glass flakes.   The core value of glass flakes stems from their unique microstructure and physical barrier mechanism. This flake-like functional material, made from molten glass at temperatures exceeding 1200°C, has a thickness of only 2-5 microns but a diameter ranging from tens to hundreds of microns, resulting in an extremely high aspect ratio.   When hundreds of millions of glass flakes are uniformly dispersed in a resin matrix, they are not arranged randomly. Instead, they form a highly ordered, parallel, and overlapping structure within the coating, much like layers of overlapping roof tiles. The "maze effect" created by this structure forces the penetration path of corrosive media to be extended by geometric multiples—water molecules, chloride ions, and acid ions must struggle to travel along a tortuous path, with their effective diffusion distance reaching tens or even hundreds of times the physical thickness of the coating.   Industry research data shows that coatings containing glass flakes have permeability resistance far superior to traditional FRP linings. A 0.5mm thick flake coating can significantly surpass the anti-penetration capability of a 2.0mm thick FRP lining, achieving a dual leap in both performance and efficiency.   Core Advantages of Glass Flakes Beyond its exceptional resistance to permeation, glass flakes can also impart a series of outstanding properties to anti-corrosion coatings: Extremely Low Curing Shrinkage: The incorporation of a large amount of inorganic glass flakes effectively reduces the volume shrinkage of the resin during curing, minimizing residual stress within the coating and making it less prone to cracking and delamination. Excellent Thermal Stability: Glass flakes have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which brings the linear expansion coefficient of the composite coating close to that of steel (carbon steel). This means that under conditions of drastic temperature changes (such as thermal shock), the coating can expand and contract in sync with the substrate without peeling due to stress. Its heat resistance can be increased by 20-40°C compared to similar pure resin coatings. Outstanding Mechanical Properties: Glass flakes themselves are a hard material. Their addition significantly enhances the surface hardness, abrasion resistance, and scratch resistance of the coating. It provides excellent protection even in areas subject to severe erosion and wear. Good Processability: Glass flake coatings can be applied using various methods such as brushing, rolling, and high-pressure airless spraying. They are also easy to repair, making them very suitable for large-scale on-site engineering operations.   Wide Range of Applications Thanks to their excellent performance, glass flakes are widely used in numerous demanding operating environments. Application Field Specific Scenarios Marine Engineering Ship anti-corrosion, offshore platforms, port facilities Petrochemical Storage tank linings, pipeline anti-corrosion, chemical equipment Energy & Environmental Protection Flue gas desulfurization units, nuclear facilities, power plants Infrastructure Bridge anti-corrosion, wastewater treatment, metallurgical equipment Industrial Coatings Heavy-duty anti-corrosion coatings, epoxy flake coatings, specialty coatings Composite Materials Plastic modification, rubber reinforcement, pigment production   Glass flake coating technology was first developed by Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corporation in the United States in the mid-1950s, originally used for anti-corrosion on ship hulls. Subsequently, this technology was introduced to Europe and Japan, where it flourished in the fields of marine development and energy storage.   China began to introduce this technology in the 1980s. Through digestion and absorption, multiple industry standards (such as HG/T 2641-1994) have now been established. The quality and surface treatment capabilities of domestically produced glass flakes have reached internationally advanced levels.   As modern industry demands increasingly longer-term safe operation of equipment and faces the emergence of various extreme working conditions, glass flake materials continue to evolve. From the initial epoxy resins to today's vinyl ester resins with better temperature resistance, from simple physical mixing to surface modification of flakes using silane coupling agents, technological advancements are continuously making this thin layer of "glass armor" more powerful and reliable. It is amidst this wave of technological evolution that Kmeris, a brand of China AAB Technology Company, has deeply cultivated the glass flake field for over two decades, witnessing and leading every technological iteration—from epoxy to vinyl ester resins, and from physical mixing to interface engineering.

Nitrocellulose, a classic film-forming material for paints and inks, has served the industry for over a century thanks to its fast drying and glossy finish. However, in today's world where environmental protection and performance are equally important, its inherent defects are evolving into unavoidable industry challenges. From an application perspective, nitrocellulose has inherent shortcomings. Its low solids content results in extremely thin films per coat, requiring multiple applications to achieve the desired thickness, thus impacting both efficiency and cost. The coating itself is brittle, with poor adhesion and flexibility, making it prone to cracking and peeling over time, failing to meet demanding working conditions. In outdoor environments, its poor weather resistance and tendency to whiten when exposed to moisture further limit its applications.   A deeper crisis stems from safety and environmental concerns. Nitrocellulose is highly flammable, and excessively high nitrogen content can even pose an explosion risk, requiring significant safety investments in production and storage. Even more problematic is that the volatilization of large amounts of organic solvents during construction not only pollutes the environment and harms health, but also puts packaging inks containing nitrocellulose in a "non-recyclable" predicament—during plastic recycling, it causes odors, discoloration, and decreased strength, running counter to the global trend of a circular economy.   When performance shortcomings meet heavy environmental pressures, the limitations of nitrocellulose are no longer just a technical issue, but have become a footnote to industrial upgrading. Finding alternatives that balance performance and sustainability is changing from an industry option to an essential question. Modified Nitrocellulose, also called Cellulose Acetate Butyrate, which is the perfect replacement of traditional Nitrocellulose, CAB-400 is of models of its series. For those disadvantages of traditional Nitrocellulose, Cellulose Acetate Butyrate is a promising solutions for different paints & coatings, Print ink, and nain polish factories!

In recent years, large coating companies in Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, India, etc.) have been accelerating their transformation, gradually abandoning in-house grinding pigment paste with machines line, and instead directly purchasing Pigment Dispersions such as CAB pigment chips, water based solid pigment dispersion. This trend is driven by multiple factors, including cost, efficiency, environmental protection, and technology.   In the past, paint manufacturers typically sourced their own materials and purchased sand mills lines for grinding themselves. However, this approach often resulted in suboptimal formulations. Additionally, due to outdated machinery, issues such as machine blockages and color changes during disassembly can lead to material wastage. For example, a 30-ton capacity sand mill can cause an average of 5-10 kilograms of wastage, and during color changes, rinsing can result in wastage rates as high as 5%-10% when grinding 200-300 kilograms. Many manufacturers previously did not consider material wastage, labor costs, or inventory costs, focusing solely on raw material costs. The more inventory is held in the warehouse, the greater the consumption of workshop logistics, as well as the higher the costs associated with space, labor, and inventory. Additionally, while paint factory engineers are highly skilled in paint formulations, they have not conducted in-depth research into the chemical structure, colorfastness, heat resistance, color bleeding, and environmental performance of organic pigments. Relying solely on paint factories to resolve issues related to color paste stability and compatibility presents significant challenges.   As a result, several Asian paint manufacturers have gradually abandoned in-house color paste production and shifted to purchasing finished color paste. According to Nippon Paint's 2023 annual report, since closing its color paste production lines in 2022, production costs have decreased by 18%, and delivery cycles have been shortened by 40%. Asia Coatings also stated that since purchasing ready-made color pastes, the development cycle for new products has been reduced from three months to one month, significantly improving production efficiency.   Compared to self-grinding color paste, purchasing finished color paste or pigment dispersion to solve pigment paste directly has the following advantages: Comparison dimensions Self-developed color paste Finished colorant Advantage Analysis Production cost High (equipment + energy consumption + labor) Low (large-scale procurement) Save 20%+ on costs Production cycle 8-12 hours/batch Ready to use 80% increase in efficiency Color stability Δe>1.0 (prone to deviation) Δe<0.5 (industrial standard) Ensuring product quality stability Environmental compliance Need to build own wastewater/voc treatment facility Suppliers are compliant Reduce regulatory risk   Can we continue to supply high-quality products and services?
