On November 27, the three-day 2025 China International Coatings Exhibition (CHINACOAT 2025) successfully concluded at the Shanghai New International Expo Center!

The grand scene at the paint exhibition

As a 'weathervane' of the coatings industry, this year's exhibition has reached a new record in scale: the five major exhibition areas (raw materials, Chinese equipment, instruments and services, international equipment, instruments and services, powder coatings, UV/EB curing technologies and products) work in synergy, bringing together over 1,460 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions. Among them, 250 are new exhibitors, a 10% increase compared to last year's coatings exhibition, fully demonstrating the vibrant vitality of the industry.

During the exhibition, the Silok booth was bustling with distinguished guests, reaching an unprecedented scale. We received over 1,000 industry partners, experts, scholars, and friends from around the world, both new and old. Guests from all over gathered together to witness an exciting and spectacular event in the coatings industry, where ideas on technology and innovation collided.

Highlights of the Coatings Expo

At this year's exhibition, 'high temperature resistance' became a hot topic among customers. With the trend of 'fluorine bans' advancing, many companies are beginning to seek high-temperature resistant solutions suitable for metal coatings on non-stick pans, motorcycles, and other applications.

Silok's Silok 1550R polysilazane has attracted significant attention—as a low-viscosity liquid polysilazane resin, it is not only suitable for room-temperature curing coating systems but also compatible with heat-curing coating systems.

The product has strong compatibility and can be mixed with various pigments and fillers, such as organic pigments, inorganic pigments, metal powders (zinc, aluminum, and stainless steel), and ceramic powders (silicon nitride, boron carbide, aluminum oxide, boron nitride). It can also be compounded with many other resin film-forming materials and additives.

Its maximum temperature tolerance is 800°C, and it can be used continuously at 400°C. Coatings compounded with heat-resistant nano fillers can withstand flames or high-temperature air flow, providing an excellent solution for high-temperature coatings.

In addition, anti-fouling products for architectural coatings have also attracted considerable attention. For example, Dolphin 1855R7, a silicone-modified polyurethane resin, as an anionic system product, can significantly enhance the coating's silicone slip, heat resistance, stain resistance, release properties, and tape adhesion even with a small amount added to the formulation.

Related products of the light-curing system have also sparked widespread interest, covering various functional additives such as anti-graffiti, wear and scratch resistance, wetting and leveling, defoaming, and dispersion, bringing abundant technical inspiration to visitors on site.

The exhibition has come to an end, but the pace of innovation never stops. Silok sincerely thanks every industry pioneer, partner, and colleague who visited our booth! In the future, we will continue to uphold a proactive and pragmatic approach, steadfastly advancing research and innovation in the field of silicone materials, and work together with you to promote a greener future for coatings.
