On September 21, 2026, the Coatings Resin Branch of the China National Coatings Industry Association is scheduled to hold a working meeting in Yixing, Jiangsu, China.

The meeting is expected to bring together representatives from the coatings, resin and chemical industries to discuss industry development, technological innovation, green and low-carbon transformation, and cooperation across the coatings value chain.

For manufacturers and users of epoxy floor coatings, these industry discussions are closely connected with the development of higher-performance, more sustainable and application-oriented coating systems.

Focus on Resin Technology and the Next Five-Year Development of the Coatings Industry

According to the meeting information, Liu Jie, Secretary-General of the China National Coatings Industry Association, will discuss the development direction of China's coatings industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

The meeting will also focus on technological innovation in synthetic resins, water-based coating resin requirements, and the modification mechanisms and technology development of high-performance epoxy resin anticorrosive coatings.

These topics are relevant to the wider development of epoxy-based coating systems, including industrial floor coatings, protective coatings and other applications that require controlled performance and reliable substrate adhesion.

Why Resin Technology Matters for Epoxy Floor Coatings

Epoxy resin is one of the important material components used in many industrial and commercial floor coating systems.

The performance of an epoxy floor coating system depends not only on the resin itself, but also on factors such as:

Resin and curing-agent formulation

Substrate preparation

Primer selection

Coating thickness

Aggregate and filler selection

Application conditions

Curing conditions

Chemical and mechanical requirements

For industrial flooring projects, these factors need to be considered together rather than evaluating a coating only by its surface appearance.

A properly designed epoxy flooring system can provide a seamless protective surface for applications such as factories, warehouses, workshops, commercial buildings and other industrial environments.

Green and Low-Carbon Development in the Coatings Industry

Another important direction highlighted by the meeting is green and low-carbon development.

The coatings industry is increasingly paying attention to:

Lower VOC emissions

Water-based technologies

Solvent-free formulations

More efficient raw-material utilization

Product lifecycle considerations

Cleaner manufacturing processes

These developments are also relevant to the evolution of industrial floor coating technologies.

Depending on project requirements, epoxy flooring systems may include water-based epoxy, solvent-free epoxy, self-leveling epoxy and other formulation technologies.

The appropriate system should be selected according to the substrate, service environment, performance requirements and construction conditions.

From Resin Innovation to Industrial Flooring Applications

Industry-level research and development in synthetic resins can eventually influence the performance and application of downstream coating products.

For epoxy floor coatings, potential areas of technical development include:

Adhesion: Improving bonding between the coating system and concrete substrate.

Chemical Resistance: Developing systems suitable for environments exposed to oils, chemicals or cleaning agents.

Mechanical Performance: Improving resistance to abrasion and traffic according to project requirements.

Application Performance: Optimizing flow, curing and construction characteristics.

Environmental Performance: Developing water-based and solvent-free systems where suitable for the application.

These areas are particularly relevant for flooring contractors, construction companies, distributors and industrial project buyers looking for reliable coating solutions.

CAFONCI: Building Coating Manufacturer and B2B Supplier from China

CAFONCI, operated by Hunan Kafengqi E-Commerce Co., Ltd., is a China-based building coatings manufacturer and exporter located in Hunan, China.

The CAFONCI product portfolio includes epoxy floor coatings, waterproof coatings, decorative coatings and exterior wall coatings.

For epoxy flooring applications, CAFONCI provides different product options for commercial and industrial flooring projects, including water-based epoxy floor coatings, solvent-free epoxy floor coatings, epoxy colored sand and other epoxy flooring systems.

CAFONCI works primarily with B2B customers such as:

Flooring contractors

Construction companies

Paint importers

Coating distributors

Wholesalers

Industrial project buyers

The company also provides product information, technical documentation, samples and customized B2B solutions according to customer requirements.

Supporting International Epoxy Flooring Projects

For international buyers, selecting an epoxy floor coating is not only about purchasing a coating product.

A suitable flooring solution should consider:

Project application

Floor area

Required thickness

Concrete substrate condition

Expected traffic and mechanical load

Chemical exposure

Cleaning requirements

Construction conditions

Color and appearance

Local project standards and documentation

By connecting product selection with actual project requirements, manufacturers and contractors can develop more appropriate flooring systems.

Looking Ahead

The 2026 Coatings Resin Branch working meeting reflects the continuing importance of technological innovation, green development and cooperation across the coatings industry.

For epoxy floor coating manufacturers, resin technology is one part of a broader development process that connects raw materials, formulation, manufacturing, application technology and end-user requirements.

As the global demand for industrial and commercial flooring continues to evolve, manufacturers need to focus not only on product supply but also on technical information, application support and project-oriented solutions.

CAFONCI will continue to focus on building coatings and B2B international supply, supporting flooring contractors, distributors, construction companies and project buyers with epoxy floor coating products and related technical information.
