Microlith solid Pigment Preparation

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 Additionally, due to outdated machinery, issues such as machine blockages and color changes during disassembly can lead to material wastage.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?
