You know SANY from China, right?

Global No.1 in excavator sales, year after year.

And Zoomlion — with that record-breaking long boom model —

also leads the global market.

But here’s something you probably didn’t know:

These Chinese giants…

don’t use paint anymore.

Oil-based coatings?

That was before 2018.

Water-based coatings?

Popular between 2018 and 2023.

High-solids?

Never really took off.

Now it’s 2025 —

and China’s construction machinery industry

is going all in on powder coatings.

Top manufacturers like SANY and Zoomlion

have already completed their “paint-to-powder” transformation.

Old paint systems?

They needed baking, drying,

and came with VOC taxes.

Parts were irregular,

and overspray waste was massive.

Powder coatings?

Smooth coverage, strong adhesion, no runs, recyclable, zero VOC.

Clean, efficient, and sustainable.

From the excavator’s chassis to its boom —

everything’s now powder-coated, piece by piece.

This “powder revolution”

is becoming the core of China’s green upgrade

in construction machinery.
