From July 15 to 17, the coatings industry gathered at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre for the 24th China International Coatings Show. Qilu Paints joined the event with a focused display of green and application-oriented coating technologies, using the show as a practical window into the company’s low-carbon product direction.
The exhibition was not treated as a simple product shelf. Qilu Paints used the booth to connect several technology themes that are becoming more important for coating buyers: lower environmental impact, energy-saving performance, better protection of industrial assets, and healthier building environments.
A Focused Green Coating Portfolio
At the booth, Qilu Paints presented a range of independently developed coating products for industrial protection, corrosion control, energy-saving applications, and indoor environmental improvement.
The display included acrylic anti-rust coating samples, a working demonstration setup for radiative cooling coatings, and finished pails of self-cleaning anti-reflection nano coating liquid for glass. Together, these exhibits showed how Qilu is extending its product work beyond conventional decorative or protective coatings and into more specific performance scenarios.
For industrial and infrastructure buyers, the acrylic anti-rust samples offered a straightforward view of practical protective coating options. For energy-related projects, the radiative cooling display highlighted how coating technology can support thermal management and energy-saving discussions. For photovoltaic and glass applications, the self-cleaning anti-reflection nano coating reflected a growing demand for surfaces that can stay cleaner and transmit light more efficiently in real service conditions.
Technical Conversations at the Booth
During the exhibition, leaders from the industry association visited the Qilu Paints booth and discussed the company’s new products, green production approach, and low-carbon development direction. The exchange covered topics such as industry-wide green transformation, new-material application, and cooperation across the coatings supply chain.
Qilu’s technical team also met with visiting customers, industry experts, and cooperation partners throughout the three-day event. The team introduced product performance, application routes, environmental testing considerations, and project-specific coating solutions based on each visitor’s industry and use case.
Those conversations are valuable for Qilu because they bring product development closer to real market questions. Coating buyers are no longer asking only for a paint name and a price. They need to understand substrate conditions, exposure environment, application method, documentation, environmental requirements, and long-term service expectations. The show gave Qilu a chance to discuss those details directly with people from the market.
Building for Low-Carbon and High-Quality Development
The 2026 China International Coatings Show gave Qilu Paints an opportunity to present its green coating work to a wider industry audience and to compare notes with coating manufacturers, researchers, and technical professionals from China and overseas.
Qilu Paints will continue to develop coating technologies that support cleaner production, reliable asset protection, and more sustainable application choices. The company looks forward to working with partners across the global coatings value chain to advance green, low-carbon, and high-quality development for the industry.
