In recent years, the upgrading of industrial structure in all walks of life, as an important supporting industries coating industry is no exception, due to the requirements of health and environmental protection, non-toxic non-polluting water-based paint is becoming the upgrading of traditional paint products, but the water paint In the process of replacement of paint, there is a strange phenomenon: In the field of construction, paint water-based paint process is very fast, most of the exterior paint, interior paint has been the popularity of the use of water-based paint; however in In the industrial field, the process of paint replacement paint is very slow.
In this regard, experts pointed out that 'one of the most important reason is that the use of architectural coatings and people living environment is closely related to people because of their own health considerations, tend to use environmentally friendly non-toxic water-based paint as architectural coatings, and in the industrial field, Business operators are not the direct beneficiaries of eco-friendly coatings and lack awareness of the use of eco-friendly water-based paints, which has a significant impact on the water-based process of industrial coatings.
For example, he said, for example, people in the home decoration paint, as a direct access to the product, the consumer is the most concerned about the safety of its performance, such as VOC emissions, heavy metal content, formaldehyde emissions, storage is flammable Explosions, etc. Thousands of homes were fires and even explosions, due to formaldehyde poisoning caused by the use of paints and coatings. The combination of these factors reinforces the will of people in the construction industry to use water paint.
However, from an industrial coating point of view, although most consumers will not be exposed directly, its environmental impact is enormous. More than half of the VOC emissions are caused by the industry, while heavy use of traditional paints in the industrial sector It is a cause of air pollution is an important culprit.A worrisome is that with the worsening air pollution problems, the health hazards of paint has not only limited to simple home environment, such as pollution caused by haze, has begun to moment of harm Every one of us.
According to the report of the International Energy Agency, 3 million people die of outdoor air pollution and 3.5 million people die of indoor air pollution each year. According to the report, it is estimated that by 2040, the number of deaths due to air pollution will continue to rise. The number of deaths caused by outdoor air pollution will increase to 4.5 million per annum but the number of people dying from indoor air pollution will be reduced from 3.5 million to 3 million.College of University of California, Berkeley published in the science magazine PLOSOne in August 2015 A report said that 1.6 million people die from air pollution in China every year. These horrendous figures have sounded the alarm for us. The protection of air quality must not be confined to limited private space. The industrialization of water-based paint Use also have to enter 'countdown'.
The good news is that at present, on the one hand, the government has increasingly stringent environmental requirements on the manufacturing industry and has gradually begun to guide the use of environmentally friendly water-based paints. In recent years, countries have also introduced "paint excise taxes" Has been comparable to the paint, the domestic paint manufacturers even have high performance, low cost advantages, which are good for the industrial water-based paint.
On the other hand, some factories have also begun to take the initiative to shift from oil-based coatings to water-based coatings and build environmentally-friendly industries.Industry sources said that as an important ancillary industry in the fields of construction, industry, vehicle and shipbuilding, Not only is it an important part of building an environment-friendly society, but it will also be a key battle for the current severe air pollution to be effectively managed. Both construction and industry are major consumers of paint and coatings. In the future, both will accelerate the process of substitution of water-based coatings Need to synchronize.
