On December 4, AkzoNobel announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with the national high-tech enterprise Aibang Radiation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Wuxi Aibang”). The two parties will work together to develop revolutionary coatings New process technologies and jointly explore the application of radiation curing technology in coil steel coatings. This time, AkzoNobel combined with China’s cutting-edge technology will bring epoch-making significance to the improvement of the environmental performance of coil coatings.
Compared with traditional coating curing technology, radiation curing has significant advantages such as low energy consumption, fast production speed, higher quality, and less impact on the environment. This time, AkzoNobel and Wuxi Aibang will work together to combine the strengths of both parties and conduct development and testing with the help of real application scenarios. They will further explore and consolidate the practical application of electron beam radiation curing technology in the coating industry, and provide solutions for the stripping of coil steel coatings. Carbon injects new impetus into sustainable development.
AkzoNobel and Wuxi Aibang formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement
“Radiation curing is an innovative green process technology that has emerged in response to the ‘dual carbon’ era. Its related products are gradually entering a period of development and have broad market prospects.” Wan Linkai, Managing Director of AkzoNobel Industrial Coatings Asia Pacific The doctor said: “We will work together with Wuxi Aibang, leveraging its expertise and experience in electron beam equipment and technology, and combining it with practical application scenarios to realize the innovative implementation of electron beam radiation curing coatings. Based on cooperative innovation, we look forward to providing services to China We provide high-performance, high-environmental value-added coating solutions to customers around the world, fully support our partners in achieving sustainable development goals, and jointly promote the industry’s carbon emission reduction process.”
Dr. Zhang Yuwei, Chairman of Wuxi Aibang Radiation Technology Co., Ltd., said: “Wuxi Aibang has always been committed to developing civilian nuclear technology, broadening the application of electron beam technology, and promoting high-quality progress in the industry. We are very confident about the process development capabilities of Aibang’s low-energy electron beam equipment. , and we are confident in AkzoNobel Group’s top coating formulation research and development capabilities. Our close cooperation will accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of the coatings industry, improve product quality and safety, and help the coatings industry reach carbon neutrality as soon as possible. Provide strong support!”
As a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the application of radiation technology, Wuxi Aibang has successfully developed advanced products and technologies such as electron accelerators, X-ray technology, irradiation cable materials and wires, filling the relevant domestic market gaps. Its electron-beam technology is powered by electricity rather than relying on radioactive isotopes, which means the process does not involve radioactive waste or toxic substances.
For the coating industry, revolutionary radiation curing technology abandons the time-consuming and energy-consuming drying and hardening process of traditional coating curing. It can not only help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, but also save operating costs and improve production for customers. Efficiency and quality. Taking this cooperation as an opportunity, AkzoNobel is confident to lead the development of electron beam radiation curing technology and bring higher-performance, high-quality, green and environmentally friendly coil coating solutions to our industrial customers; it will also benefit a wide range of coil coatings It is applied in construction, home appliances, vehicles and other fields to comprehensively improve its sustainability level.
This collaborative innovation demonstrates AkzoNobel’s firm determination on the road to sustainable development, and is also an important milestone in AkzoNobel’s leadership of coil coatings towards a green and low-carbon future. In the future, AkzoNobel will continue to take sustainable development as its core and technological innovation as its engine to actively promote green transformation and high-quality development of the coatings industry in China and even the world.
