At present, the phenolic
resin, alky resin possess the advantage of the price, so they
are used widely. because the poor properties and the development
and study of various high performance anticorrosive paints, and
some technicians and consumers know and accept these, so these paints are
on the decrease in the market. Comparing with the developed
countries there has still a distance.
Both the efficiency and the economic
benefit, the high anticorrosive performance system is better
than the traditional system. As following, the steel structure in
the general atmosphere environment, the traditional system is
based on alkyd paint, the high performance coat system is based
on epoxy primer, intermediate and polyurethane finish
.

A. The expense
for epoxy zinc rich primer is higher than acrylic primer.
B. Considering the appropriate loss, the expense of the paint
must be multiplied the coefficient.
C.The application for one pack paint is easier than the two
packs, so the expense in 1 is higher than in 2.
D.No considering other expense.
We know
from the above data, the different paints are very transparent
to the enterprise's benefit. At the same time, we must
consider the quantity for maintain, and loss, environment
pollution and waste energy.
With the
technology progress and various high properties paints applied
widely, it is inevitable trend of society development. Such as
the top- ranking replaces low- ranking, and the heavy replaces
the general. Which reduce the expense and boost the economic
benefit.
