Architectural coatings for Chengdu Tianfu International Airport

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, located in Chengdu, China, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to accommodate the growing demand for air travel in the region. With sustainability at the forefront, the airport project required a cutting-edge solution for its interior lighting and design. Beckers Group, as a  global leader in coil coating technology, was brought on board to provide an innovative and environmentally friendly coating solution for the landmark structure.

Occupying a formidable 250,000 square meters, the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport project not only presented an awe-inspiring infrastructural challenge but also a demanding requirement for an effective coating solution. The coating prerequisite extended beyond mere surface coverage. It necessitated a high-performing,  environmentally-conscious solution capable of enduring the airport's high-traffic nature and enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. 

Project challenges

  • Applying the coating over a large surface area within a short timeframe.
  • Ensuring a high level of cleanliness and quality during the application process, due to the material's sensitivity to contamination.
  • Collaborating with roll-coating manufacturers and end clients to optimize application methods, balancing performance and cost efficiency.
  • Meeting sustainability requirements without compromising the building's aesthetic appeal.

Solution offered

In response to these challenges, Beckers DJ-213/225 diffuse reflective coating emerged as a holistic and innovative solution for this large-scale project. Several core advantages are conferred:

  1. Swift and superior application: With our understanding of the importance of turnaround times, on-site trials and process modifications were performed which allowed us to accelerate the application process without sacrificing quality or integrity. The result was a premium-grade finish achieved within a tightly controlled timeline.
  2. Exceptional aesthetic quality: The coating features a micro-textured matte finish that adds a touch of sophistication to the building. The soft-touch, matte coating guarantees an elegant aesthetic and enhanced tactile experience for users.
  3. Sustainability initiatives: Beckers coating brought an energy-efficient solution that significantly reduces interior lighting consumption. The high diffuse reflectance value of the coating ensures a visually comfortable environment while contributing to  sustainability goals.

Product features

The successful deployment of Beckers coating in the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport serves to illustrate the robust benefits of Beckers' avant-garde coating solution, both practically and aesthetically. Some of these tangible benefits include:

  1. Enhanced energy efficiency: The coating's high diffuse reflectance value promotes the optimal occupancy of light. This, in turn, leads to a marked reduction in energy  consumption for internal lighting and contributes to the overall green footprint of the airport.
  2. Superior lighting quality: The combination of high reflectance capability ensures the airport is bathed in a more bright, visually pleasant environment.
  3. Aesthetic sophistication: The Beckers DJ-213/225 goes beyond a standard coating. With its micro-textured matte finish, it imparts a visually appealing aesthetic and tactile sophistication to the airport's interior design, delivering a visual treat to travelers passing through.

Conclusion

The triumphant rollout of the Beckers DJ-213/225 diffuse reflective coating at the  Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is a glowing testament to Beckers' commitment to delivering both innovation and sustainability. This cutting-edge coating solution isn't just attuned to the challenges of energy efficiency, lighting quality enhancement, and visual comfort. It sets a benchmark in our commitment to blend aesthetics with sustainability.
