Selection questions
- What asset is being protected, and is it new build, factory finish, or maintenance?
- Which exposure risks matter most: corrosion, UV, water, chemicals, abrasion, heat, fire, hygiene, VOC, or throughput?
- What result should be optimized: lowest initial cost, balanced protection, longer maintenance interval, production speed, lower VOC, appearance, or surface-tolerant maintenance?
- Which cooperation route fits the buyer: product supply, system package, OEM, distributor, project support, or local supply-chain collaboration?
Surface preparation
- Confirm substrate condition, oil, salts, dust, rust, laitance, old coating, and surface profile
- Match preparation grade to the selected system and expected durability
- Run adhesion or compatibility checks when old coating remains
Application conditions
- Confirm substrate temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, dew point margin, ventilation, and drying window
- Review film thickness, recoating interval, pot life, and handling time from current TDS
Available colors and packaging
- Standard colors and practical finish targets can be reviewed before quotation
- Special colors, gloss, texture, and private-label packaging need sample or batch confirmation
Documentation available
- Current TDS
- SDS request
- Packaging and shelf-life check
- Export document review
- Basic application notes
Essential / Standard / Extended systems
Essential
Lowest practical initial cost where exposure and durability requirements are moderate.
- Confirm substrate and preparation level
- Use a simple primer and finish route suitable for the service class
Final product selection depends on current TDS and project constraints.
Standard
Balanced protection, application practicality, and document support for normal commercial procurement.
- Confirm primer and topcoat compatibility
- Use a system schedule matched to exposure and handling needs
Recommended as the default review route for most inquiries.
Extended Service
Longer maintenance interval, stronger weathering resistance, or more aggressive exposure.
- Increase barrier build where justified
- Use higher durability finish options when UV or color retention matters
Requires stronger review of surface preparation, inspection, and film build.
Fast Throughput
Factory coating where drying, handling, packing, or dispatch speed affects production.
- Confirm line speed and handling time
- Review fast-drying or bake-capable options
Run sample trials before repeat supply.
Appearance
Visible assets where gloss, color retention, texture, or finish consistency affects acceptance.
- Confirm color standard and gloss target
- Prepare sample panels when needed
Color tolerance and batch control should be agreed before repeat orders.
Supply and partnership routes
Route A: Standard Product Supply
Known specifications, standard colors, standard packaging, distributor replenishment, and one-time purchase requests.
Product supply · Current TDS/SDS request support · Packaging and export document checks · Basic application notes
Route B: System Package Supply
Primer-intermediate-topcoat sets, floor systems, corrosion systems, quantity estimation, and system sequence requests.
System schedule · Product matching · Theoretical consumption · Application sequence · Basic quality-control checklist
Route C: OEM / Repeat Manufacturing Program
Equipment factories, coating shops, private-label buyers, and stable repeat procurement programs.
Sample approval · Color and gloss control · Batch standard · Custom packaging · Annual forecast alignment · Fixed formula or product code
Route D: Distributor Partnership
Local importers, industrial distributors, building-material channels, and specialist application-material sellers.
Starter portfolio · Regional price structure · Samples and marketing materials · Basic training · Lead protection · Non-exclusive pilot · Regional cooperation after validation
What Qilu can provide
- Supply confirmed Qilu product options after review
- Provide current TDS/SDS and export document support when available
- Prepare starter system schedules and theoretical consumption references
- Coordinate samples, color discussion, packaging checks, and quotation follow-up
What Qilu cannot provide
