As the first manufacturer of two-component ED coatings, Kodest has been a pioneer in the Chinese coatings industry. This is a major breakthrough for Kodest as well as for the development of automotive and industrial coatings technology in China. In order to comprehend what Kodest has contributed we must look at what Kodest does through multiple lenses. Technological Innovation
A few years down the line, Kodest was among the first to adapt the two-component ED coating technology and had mastered the technology that had pushed the coating quality and efficacy to a new level. Current applications put higher demands on durability and resistance to corrosion and previous systems with only one metallic component have not met these requirements. The two-component system comprised a resin and a curing agent, and provided for better film formation thereby yielding harder, more flexible and ultimately better performing coatings.
It enabled Kodest to respond better to diverse customer requirements, particularly in the fast-growing automotive industry. These new coatings provided better protection against rust and weathering, increasing vehicle lifetimes and lowering the cost of maintenance.
Market Impact
Kodest's first mover advantage was created when they quickly entered the two-component ED coating area. This helped them become the first mothership of its kind with an industry-leading class offering, and they set a standard that makers of subsequent technologies could more or less only seek to match. That initial lead transformed into market share and brand awareness.
The success of Kodest, of course, has prompted other Chinese enterprises to invest and develop their own two-component ED coating technologies, which have increased the competitiveness in the entire set of coating industry in China. This, in turn, forced manufacturers to improve quality and expand availability, benefiting consumers.
Environmental Considerations
Compared with some more out-of-date technologies, two-component ED coatings are, typically, more efficient with regards to material usage and waste generation. This early adoption helped precipitate a greener coatings market in China. It makes sense that the company lasting for great many years had something to do with their commitment to sustainability as well.
This not only fitted well to global aspects but also contributed to creating positive brand image for Kodest among environment friendly clients. This is a growing consideration in the modern day business setting.
