On November 21, China's first "Guide to Assessment of Atmospheric VOCs Online Monitoring System" was released in Beijing with the aim of enhancing the on-line monitoring and management of VOCs in China and strengthening the collection of VOCs sewage charges, which means relying on high VOCs emissions at the expense of Environment for the price of heavily polluting enterprises living space once again be compressed.
In the context of supply-side reform, the government repeatedly played the 'green card', the resulting chain reaction, the performance of the paint business who is very prominent as the traditional high-pollution and high energy-consuming industries, paint companies in the policy and market Under the dual oppression, filling the declining trend.
It is understood that the traditional oily paint thinner is an organic solvent, will release a large number of VOCs in the coating process.On the one hand, it is the core element of haze, on the other hand, its own contained formaldehyde, benzene, heavy metals And other substances, the painters and product users will have a direct harm.Therefore, to reduce paint market share, has been the general direction of the coatings industry.
Water-based coatings and powder coatings are paint substitutes vigorously advocated by countries in recent years, especially water-based coatings, which use water as a solvent to greatly reduce VOCs emissions while maintaining the product quality, and to promote the conversion of oil to water, China has also introduced relevant policies.
In 2015, the "strictest" "Environmental Protection Law" in our country was formally put into effect, and a 4% paint consumption tax on lacquer enterprises was imposed, of which enterprises consuming VOCs ≤ 420 g / L under construction were exempted from consumption tax Practice to encourage companies to use environmentally friendly products, environmentally friendly production. Paint products so experience shocks, water-based coatings has gradually become the industry's new darling.
Subsequently, the domestic regions and industries continue to publish the relevant standards, high pollution, high energy consumption, high emissions of production and use behavior is further limited.Among them, such as GB18581 "interior decoration materials solvent-based wood coatings harmful substances", GB18582 "Limit of Hazardous Substances in Interior Coatings for Interior Decoration Materials", "Limit of Hazardous Substances in Exterior Wall Coatings for Building Materials" GB24408, "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Automotive Coatings" in GB24409, "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Anti-corrosion Coatings for Construction Steel Structure" in GB30981, All related industries have been standardized.
Faced with the policy of the strong pressure on the market has quietly changed the choice.According to the latest release of the "2017 China Water Paints Consumer Trends Survey" shows that nearly 60% of consumers tend to choose the home improvement paint products, its The proportion of consumer intentions for the first time more than wallpaper, paint and other categories of the sum of this year's 'double 11', China's leading paint production enterprises Chen Yang water paint to more than 2650 million yuan in sales, ranking first in paint categories.
Now, in the market constantly honed, water-based paint technology standards, has the ability to replace the traditional paint a wide range of not only the field of petrochemical, automobile, railways, ships, containers, have already set off a 'water from oil to' tide, and people's lives, furniture, decoration and other fields, the same upward trend of waterborne coatings gratifying.
