Nowadays, paint research and development is also hot pursuit of the pace of the trend, in the continuous improvement of practical functions at the same time, but also minor health and environmental protection, environmental protection, environmental protection and environmental protection, Many furniture, home improvement materials have begun the 'water-based' road.
Market research: water-based paint has been quietly stand in the home improvement market
Home improvement building materials industry is staged a paint industry 'run it brother', in this game, the green paint in the water-based paint.
Reporters recently visited the Beijing four large home improvement building materials market and home stores, including the Shilihe 'home', Maliandao 'B & Q', peace building materials city, and the big yellow Zhuang 'Red Star Meikailong' home experience shopping plaza , Which found that water-based paint-based environmentally friendly coatings favored by consumers.
'I want to buy a water paint, the most environmentally friendly kind.' In the ten miles' home 'living museum, a customer a door to the sales staff asked. Salesman smiled and explained:' We are now selling all Is a water-based green paint, paint has long been replaced. 'I saw a row of row of paint on the shelves, colorful kegs are marked with' water-based 'words.
In these home improvement building materials market, the reporter found that the building wall paint water-based paint cover almost 100%, do not see the shadow of oil paint; and wood paint is part of the water-based paint, some still oil paint. Wooden paint prices are generally higher than the oily wood paint, some of the price of imported water paint is to reach 1000 ~ 2000 yuan a barrel (5L).
In the domestic, from the production of oil paint furniture to the production of water-based paint, direct costs may increase by 10% to 30%. Plus not only the replacement of paint, but also related to the transformation of production lines and product changes, need to invest a lot of money to complete the transformation , So water-based paint products to be more expensive. "A building materials market sales staff said.
Reporters survey found that, whether it is physical store or shop, water-based paint sales are very impressive. 'Now water-based paint is very popular, the best one day at least to sell more than 200 barrels.' An entity brand sales staff said. In some special sellers installed paint shop, some domestic public brand average daily sales can reach more than 100,000 yuan, the import brand of product sales are relatively small, about 50,000 to 100,000 yuan.
Industry Analysis: Water-based paint to promote environmentally friendly coatings rapid growth
The water-based paint is a water-soluble, water-diluted, water-dispersible (latex paint), which can be used in wood, metal, plastic, glass , Building surface and other materials. 'China Coating Industry Association Chief Engineer Ma Jun said.
As the water-based paint does not contain benzene, xylene and other organic solvents, and no curing agent, while its production process of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, so with the health awareness and environmental law enforcement to strengthen water-based paint continued to heat up, Almost become synonymous with environmental protection paint.
Ma Jun said that there are many kinds of environmentally friendly coatings, including powder coatings, light-cured coatings and high solids coatings and other solvent-free coatings, but the paint market share is relatively small. The fastest growing, the largest market share is water coating.
In the 2016 China Coatings Industry Conference, Which water-based paint production and sales growth of 100%, which means that water-based paint is driving the rapid growth of environmentally friendly coatings.
According to the "China's paint industry 'thirteen five' plan", by 2020, environmentally friendly paint varieties will account for 57% of total paint production in the north of Guangzhou and Shenzhen and other cities, there have been some 'oil' to change 'water' Beijing and Tianjin, Hebei jointly issued the implementation of "architectural coatings and adhesives volatile organic compounds content limit standards" and so on.
In the European market, for example, from January 1, 2007, the EU countries began to implement the new paint standard "EU decorative paint guidelines (2007 ~ 2010)", the solvent Type paint is completely prohibited in the use of interior decoration, but also prohibit the production and sale of solvent-based paint.This means that the European home improvement has become a water-based paint the world.
However, water-based paint market is still less than the traditional paint mature.China Coatings Association President Sun Lianying said: 'As the current domestic most of the water-based paint coating effect can not fully meet the same effect with the traditional paint, and water-based paint coating The process affected by the construction environment is relatively large.Therefore, the water-based paint to really occupy the market, but also in technology research and development, core technology research continues to improve.
Salespeople say: the market potential, I also choose to enter the water-based paint industry
35 years old Wang Youjing engaged in the paint industry sales for almost 12 years, of which the first 10 years, he worked in an internationally renowned paint brand.However, early 2016, Wang Youjing made a surprising decision: to leave the original Platform, into the water-based paint industry.
Wang Youjing said that the current north of the city and other cities have introduced provisions on the sale of paint furniture, such as July 2015, Beijing introduced the "wooden furniture manufacturing air pollutant discharge standards", requiring the use of wood furniture to reduce the use of oily paint, gradually replaced with water Paint, and according to the standard, after 2017, Beijing wooden furniture will be a comprehensive ban on the use of oily paint, or will not be able to market in Beijing.
Shenzhen is from 2011 to start the introduction of furniture coating 'oil' to change the 'water' of the government subsidy policy; in 2015 the introduction of technical specifications, a comprehensive ban on serious harm to the public health of the paint, solvent-based paint, adhesives and other unqualified decoration Decoration materials, can be considered the first ban on the use of paint in the city.
More than 10 years, I have a more in-depth understanding of the paint industry.With the country's increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection, people's health requirements are getting higher and higher, I feel water-based paint ushered in a bright future, The market potential is great, is the future trend of the paint industry.
Wang Youjing said that at present, water-based paint market acceptance and recognition are very high due to water-based paint health, environmental protection features, can be used to achieve that brush that is live, there is no smell. Many home improvement companies and individuals are looking for home To buy to use.
'I am responsible for the Lunan, Jiangsu Area, for example, 2013 ~ 2015, water-based paint in the local market share of 2% to 3%, from the beginning of 2016 to the present, water-based paint market share of basic energy Reaching 8% to 10%, reflecting the increasing acceptance of waterborne lacquers.
A look at environmental signs, two check test report
Reporters survey found that in Beijing, some building materials and home improvement materials supermarket, marked with 'low VOC' 'anti-formaldehyde full effect' and other propaganda slogan water-based paint everywhere, almost every brand are the main 'green' and 'health'; The price is from more than one hundred yuan to more than a thousand dollars, sales staff is also the word, have declared their own products the most environmentally friendly, the most secure. Variety, so that consumers dazzled.
China Environmental Science Society Indoor Environment and Health Branch Distinguished experts, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Environmental and Health-related product safety research researcher Dai Zizhu said that the choice of environmentally friendly paint can not just look at the price, first of all, domestic products to see if there are Chinese environmental signs' 'Icon, the imported products will have to check the local authority certification mark; second, be sure to check the product testing report.
Professor Dai Zizhu said that the biggest feature of water-based paint is the release of VOC and benzene release of small quantities of consumers before the purchase of the relevant indicators of the best understanding.For example, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued by the national environmental standards "environmental labeling products Technical Requirements - Waterborne Coatings "(HJ2537-2014) and" Technical Requirements for Environmental Labeling Products - Furniture "(HJ2547-2016).
In the previous standard, the interior paint finish provides a VOC content of not more than 50 g / L, and the total amount of benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene is not more than 100 mg / kg. In the latter standard, Solvent-based wood coatings, polyurethane topcoat VOC content should not exceed 500g / L ~ 600g / L, primer does not exceed 570g / L, nitro class does not exceed 650g / L, alkyd not more than 450g / L. These standard values are an important basis for environmental protection.
Of course, compared to paint, wood furniture, the content of harmful substances is much higher. 'Some consumers to the house fitted with a lot of wood, and placed a lot of furniture, the equivalent of moving into a source of pollution.' Professor Dai Zizhu suggested ' . '
Professor Dai Zizhu said that after the completion of the overall renovation, should be closed doors and windows for 12 hours, to find the authority to detect to ensure that indoor air quality standards in accordance with the "indoor air quality standards" (GB / T18883-2002) to monitor the environmental indicators, such as formaldehyde , Benzene and so on.
Expert question and answer
Can goldfish be the most environmentally friendly?
Some sales staff claimed that water-based paint products VOC content can be close to zero, environmental pollution, but also fish it!
Can raise goldfish is the most environmentally friendly? China Building Materials Science Research Institute of Environmental Materials Science and Engineering Institute Professor Ji Zhijiang gives a negative answer: the goldfish in the paint is only a temporary appearance, and can not prove It is necessary to know that the fish and people living environment is not the same, we usually can see some of the fish in the polluted ditch, still able to survive.Therefore, to determine whether the paint is environmentally friendly, can not be able to raise Fish as a standard, but should look at the test report on VOC and heavy metal content.
Is colorless and tasteless the most healthy?
There are buyers that the previous oily paint has a great smell, so the human body hurt. As long as the election colorless and tasteless, is the most environmentally friendly and safe.
In this regard, Professor Ji Zhijiang remind consumers: colorless and tasteless, does not mean that the human body is not hurt, because the paint will contain a variety of heavy metals, heavy metals are exceeded, need to look at the relevant test report.In addition, indoor pollutants, In addition to formaldehyde, benzene and other pungent smell, many substances are colorless and tasteless.
In the inspection report also need to pay attention to, because the test conditions, methods of different products, equipment detection line is not the same, the test report may not be the same.Therefore, need to know VOC, benzene, heavy metals and other content of the exact value.
Teach you a trick
How to distinguish between true and false water-based paint?
Water-based paint with excellent environmental protection made the favor of the decoration owners, but most consumers will not distinguish between the true and false. Industry insiders said, through the texture, smell, state and other aspects to judge.
■ water-based paint is generally marked with 'watery' or 'water-soluble' words, and in the instructions will indicate that it can be diluted with water.According to the current water-based technology, water-based colorless paint is generally white, translucent light white Or light yellow 3, scattered evenly, layered water, no precipitation was high quality water paint.
The most critical depends on the national test report, VOC, benzene, heavy metals and other toxic substances much lower than the national standard, it is environmentally friendly water paint.
■ smell of water paint is different from the solvent and the most obvious characteristics of the paint, on the smell. High-quality water paint will not have a strong alcohol, amines, solvent odor, smell is very small, slightly aromatic.
■ touch hand dipped in paint, the texture is smooth and delicate, and the paint is dry and the film is smooth, it is high quality water paint.
■ try wet towel wipe coated model, see the powder situation; or nail with light, see hardness; soaked in water, see water resistance; drop alcohol to see solvent resistance, look at the model gloss, flexibility and so on.
■ brush water can be diluted with a clean tap water, if you need to have a special thinner or alcohol-like substances to dilute, you can determine is not really water paint. Water will be added to the water, a little hard to stir evenly Of the quality of water paint.
If you have a large number of bubbles when the brush and not easy to eliminate, the smell is larger, compared with poor products; brush after the substrate put up, if the sagging or brush marks obvious, but also poor products. Reporter Ouyang close
