How do you choose the right type of paint?

When choosing the right type of paint, the key is to focus on four critical factors—application scenario, substrate type, performance requirements, and construction conditions—and make your decision by taking into account the characteristics of both single-component and two-component paints.

Fire-retardant coatings are a type of specialized coating that provides flame-retardant and fire-protection functions.

Fire-retardant coatings are a special type of coating that provides flame-retardant and fire-protection functions. After being applied to the surface of a substrate, they form an insulating protective layer under high-temperature fire conditions, slowing down the substrate's temperature rise, inhibiting the spread of fire, and reducing the substrate's combustibility. They are commonly used for fire protection of architectural and industrial components such as steel structures, concrete, and wood.

What are the application ranges of fire-retardant coatings?

The steel structure substrate is the primary application area for fire-retardant coatings, with the aim of enhancing the fire resistance limit of steel structures (which tend to soften and collapse at high temperatures).

Chaohui Chemical Suzhou Team Building Event

The autumn charm permeates the city of Gusu, as we unite our hearts and pool our strength to embark on a new journey. Temporarily stepping away from our busy work, we’ll unwind amidst mountains and waters, strengthen our bonds through collaboration, and together write a new chapter of unity and progress for Chaohui Chemical.

What is the fire-retardant principle of fire-retardant coatings?

The fire-retardant principle of fire-retardant coatings essentially lies in the physical and chemical changes that occur within the coating itself, creating a protective system that provides thermal insulation, flame retardancy, and smoke suppression under high-temperature fire conditions. This system slows down the temperature rise of the substrate, inhibits the spread of fire, and extends the fire-resistance duration of the substrate.

Market Size and Development Trends of Fire-Retardant Coatings

Product eco-friendliness and high performance; diversified and customized application scenarios; upgrading of technology and supply chains; consolidation and differentiation in the competitive landscape.

Specialized sealing primer for high-grade architectural latex paint

Its coating film exhibits excellent alkali resistance and water resistance. It demonstrates outstanding penetration and adhesion to substrates. This coating is easy to apply, dries quickly, is non-toxic, and safe to use. This product can be applied to surfaces made of cement mortar, concrete, cement-asbestos boards, ceilings, and other substrates.

Crossing mountains and seas, let’s talk about cooperation! A delegation of Russian clients visited our company for an inspection and study tour.

On November 14, 2025, a delegation of Russian clients traveled from afar to visit our company, conducting on-site inspections and engaging in in-depth exchanges, with a particular focus on the core business of paint production. The company’s management team provided full-time accompaniment and hospitality throughout the visit. Both sides held highly efficient discussions on topics including paint business cooperation, production processes, and market applications. The entire exchange session was smoothly coordinated, practical, and substantive, resulting in the reaching of multiple areas of consensus.

Coating Defect Detection

In the protection of large-scale structures such as bridges, storage tanks, and pipelines, coating systems act like a “shield”—a protective armor that effectively blocks external corrosion and significantly extends the service life of these structures. However, if this “armor” contains discontinuities—such as pinholes or missed coatings—it can become a hidden “entry point” for structural degradation. Oxygen and electrolytes from the outside environment can seep through these gaps into the substrate, causing corrosion of the metal base material and seriously compromising the structure’s safety and durability. Today, we’ll talk about how to identify these hidden coating defects through scientific testing.
