Ceramic coatings have developed rapidly in recent years. Due to their excellent fire resistance, good scratch resistance, durability, stain resistance, high decorativeness, and green environmental protection, they are gradually recognized by the metal curtain wall industry. Especially in crowded public places, underground works, and places with high fire rating requirements, ceramic coatings have their unique advantages.
At present, the application of ceramic coatings in the decoration of aluminum veneer mainly has three major areas: first, rail transit locomotive interior panels; second, subway stations, high-speed rail stations, airports, tunnel projects and other public transportation areas; third, high-end business buildings, shopping malls, Hospitals and other architectural fields. At present, in the curtain wall ceramic coating market, the amount of ceramic coatings for locomotive interior panels accounts for about 20%; the amount of aluminum veneer ceramic coatings for subway stations, high-speed rail stations, airports, and tunnel engineering accounts for about 50%-60%, of which tunnel engineering is nearly There have been cases of applying ceramic metal plates for two years. Although the proportion is not large, the market prospect of ceramic coatings in tunnel engineering is very broad.
In the field of locomotive interior panels, high-speed rail and Harmony trains, due to their high driving speed, are considered to be lightweight composite panels and do not use metal aluminum plates because of their own weight. Therefore, the focus of ceramic coatings on locomotive interior panels is For subway locomotives, at present, about 20% of the newly-built subway locomotives are coated with metal aluminum plates coated with ceramic coatings. Considering that the application of ceramic coatings on locomotive interior panels has only been developed in recent years, new subway locomotives will be added in the next three years The proportion of metal aluminum plates coated with ceramic coatings is expected to rise to 40%.
In the field of public transportation, the curtain wall decoration of underground buildings has high requirements for fire protection. Basically, ceramic aluminum plates and enamel steel plates are used. Enameled steel plates are expensive, heavy, and inconvenient during the transportation and construction process. Therefore, ceramic coatings have strong competitiveness in subway station projects. The amount of aluminum veneer ceramic coatings in subway stations accounts for about 50%-60%. The number of high-speed rail station and airport construction projects is relatively small, and the amount of paint used in a single project is relatively large. There have been cases of ceramic metal plate decoration in tunnel engineering, and there are not many cases at present. The application of ceramic coatings in this field is still in its infancy. Due to the high hardness of ceramic coatings, it is very suitable for environments where stones and hard objects are often splashed in tunnels. I believe There will be more applications in the next few years.
Ceramic coatings can be used in interior and exterior aluminum veneer decoration projects in shopping malls, high-end business buildings, stadiums, theaters, schools, museums, etc. due to their excellent fire performance, high hardness, green environmental protection, and easy cleaning. Hospital buildings, operating rooms, food processing places, etc. also often use ceramic aluminum veneer as a decorative material, mainly to use the antibacterial properties of ceramic coatings.
As a new type of high-performance inorganic coating, ceramic coating has the advantages of high fire resistance, high hardness, good durability, scratch resistance, green environmental protection and other advantages that traditional coatings do not have. It is an important direction for the development of curtain wall architectural coatings in the future.
