Innovative Application and Technological Progress of Acrylic Resin in Automotive Coating Field
2025-07-08

With the continuous development of the automotive industry and increasingly strict environmental requirements, automotive painting technology is also constantly innovating. Acrylic resin, as a high-performance material, has been widely used and continuously innovated in the field of automotive coating due to its excellent weather resistance, glossiness, and environmental characteristics.


The application advantages of acrylic resin in automotive painting


Acrylic resin is mainly used in various coatings such as intermediate coat, color coat, and clear coat in automotive painting. Its excellent transparency and durability enable it to provide high gloss and weather resistant coatings for car bodies. In addition, acrylic resin also has good adhesion and stone impact resistance, which can effectively protect the car body from external environmental erosion.


Technological Innovation: The Rise of Waterborne Acrylic Resin


In recent years, the application of water-based acrylic resin in automotive coating has gradually increased. Compared with traditional solvent based coatings, water-based acrylic resin has lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which meets environmental requirements. For example, a water-based acrylic resin based high solid three-layer coating and one baking intermediate paint for automobiles can effectively reduce VOC emissions and improve the coating's stone impact resistance and appearance quality by optimizing the formula and process.


Breakthrough in Powder Acrylic Resin


The application of powdered acrylic resin in automotive painting has also made significant progress. Powder coating has the advantages of environmental protection, high efficiency, and energy saving, especially suitable for coating automotive aluminum alloy wheels and other components. The latest powder coating technology, such as fully bonded metal powder coating technology, can achieve stable spraying of high metal content coatings and greatly improve production stability. This technology not only enhances the aesthetics of the coating, but also reduces production costs and environmental risks.


Under the promotion of environmental policies, the automotive coating industry is accelerating its development towards green and sustainable direction. Acrylic resin, with its excellent performance and environmental characteristics, is expected to occupy a more important position in the future automotive coating market.


In short, the application prospects of acrylic resin in the field of automotive painting are broad. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing demand for environmental protection, acrylic resin will bring more innovative solutions to the automotive coating industry, helping the sustainable development of the automotive industry.
