Ⅰ. Market Insight: Why Manufacturers Must Pivot Now
According to recent industry data, 15% of solvent-based coating enterprises were phased out in 2024. Conversely, the water-based epoxy market grew by 31% year-on-year. By 2025, the market is projected to reach a 100-billion-level (RMB). For manufacturers, transitioning from solvent-borne to water-borne is no longer an option, but a survival strategy.
Ⅱ. Exclusive Formulations: From Primer to Self-Leveling
As a solutions and raw material provider for paint manufacturers, we offer the following proven reference formulations to ensure high stability and ease of production.
A. Water-based Epoxy Primer (Foundation for Adhesion)
Focus: Maximizing penetration and bonding strength.
| Material | Model | Dosage |
| Component A: Deionized Water | – | 64.8 |
| Curing agent | 8180 | 35 |
| Wetting Agent | X405 | 0.2 |
| Component B: Epoxy Resin Emulsion | 6160 | 40 |
| Mixing Ratio (A:B) | 2.5 : 1 |
B. Water-based Epoxy Mortar Coating (Durability Layer)
Focus: High filler loading without compromising workability.
Key Insight: This system uses a 1:2.5:10 (A:B:C) ratio, incorporating quartz sand and cement for maximum mechanical strength.
C. Water-based Epoxy Self-leveling Topcoat (High-end Decorative Finish)
Focus: Achieving a smooth, mirror-like finish with low VOC.
| Material | Key Function | Dosage |
| Titanium Dioxide | 996 (Opacifier) | 6 |
| Barium sulfate | 1250size (Filler) | 22 |
| Scratch resistant additive | TD51 | 0.5 |
| Paint Ratio (A:B) | 4 : 1 | Total: 100 |
Ⅲ. Solving Technical Bottlenecks for Manufacturers
Problem: Short Pot Life?
Solution: By utilizing our specific ratio of Deionized Water (18g in Comp A) and controlled cosolvents (BCS), manufacturers can achieve a stable 2-4 hour drying window.
Problem: Surface Defects (Fish-eyes/Craters)?
Solution: The integration of TEGO Wet 270 and Leveling Agent 410 in our formulation ensures the surface is smoother and more delicate than traditional solvent-based coatings.
Ⅳ. Why This Matters for the 2026 Market
For factories producing coatings for hospitals, schools, and high-end offices, the Eco-advantages are the primary selling points:
- Low Odor: Near-zero VOC for indoor safety.
- Water-based Cleanup: Simple tool cleaning with water, reducing solvent costs.
- Superior Aesthetics: Mirror-like finish preferred by high-end clients.
