Dalian Paint Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Dalian, Liaoning Province) is one of the earliest state-owned paint manufacturing enterprises established in the People’s Republic of China. It completed its corporate restructuring in 2001 and is currently a state-controlled enterprise under the jurisdiction of the Dalian Municipal Government, supervised by the Dalian Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). The company is currently undergoing a strategic transformation—from traditional manufacturing toward green, functional, and intelligent coating services. Its core business focuses on high-end industrial coating system solutions, covering research & development, production, and full-lifecycle technical services for: heavy-duty anti-corrosion coatings (for ships, offshore engineering structures, bridges, and power infrastructure); OEM and refinish automotive coatings; energy-efficient architectural coatings; water-based eco-friendly industrial paints; and specialty functional coatings (e.g., fire-retardant, antistatic, and high-temperature-resistant coatings). Its products are widely applied across major central SOEs—including China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), China Railway Group Limited (CREC), State Grid Corporation of China, and Dalian Heavy Industry & Crane Group—as well as regional key infrastructure projects.  

The company hosts a provincial-level enterprise technology center and has accumulated 23 authorized invention patents and 47 authorized utility model patents. Among these, the “Preparation Process for High-Solids Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer” and the “Solvent-Free Long-Term Anti-Corrosion Coating System for Wind Turbine Towers” have been industrialized and included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s (MIIT) “Guidance Catalogue for First-Batch Application Demonstration of Key New Materials (2024 Edition).” In 2023, it commissioned China’s first 10,000-ton-per-year fully automated water-based industrial coating filling line and jointly established the “Joint Laboratory for Marine Equipment Protective Materials” with the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.  

The company holds certifications for ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management); possesses the “Safety Production License for Hazardous Chemicals” (Liaoning WHAQXZ No. [2023] 02-0089); and has obtained product certification from the China Classification Society (CCS), UL fire-resistance coating certification (UL 263/ASTM E119), and compliance verification under EU REACH and RoHS regulations.  

Representative projects include: continuous supply of steel-shell anti-corrosion coatings for the Dalian Bay Subsea Tunnel Project (2022–2025); provision of nuclear-grade fire-retardant coating systems for Units 5 and 6 of the Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant—verified to meet IAEA standards; and winning the bid in 2024 for the external anti-corrosion coating project of Phase II of the China–Russia Crude Oil Pipeline (Mohe–Daqing section), achieving large-scale application of domestically produced high-performance epoxy coal-tar pitch coatings in ultra-low-temperature environments down to –45°C.  

Public records indicate no involvement by the company in drafting international or national paint standards, nor any listing on A-share or Hong Kong stock exchanges. Its proprietary brand “DLCOAT” coatings are exported via OEM arrangements to Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Russia’s Far East region, with annual export revenue totaling approximately RMB 120 million (2025 customs statistics). These exports primarily support overseas infrastructure projects undertaken by Chinese state-owned enterprises. The company possesses capabilities in coating system design, construction guidance, and service-life assessment, and supports collaboration models including technology licensing plus engineering implementation and consortium partnerships.
