'One year's plan is in the spring'. Many families are preparing to renovate their new homes. Xiaobian recently visited the Shenyang building materials market and found that the number of owners who use the holiday to buy and decorate building materials has increased significantly. The spring season for small-scale decoration has come.
To beautify the home environment, of course, can not be separated as a coating material facing the paint. Nowadays, paint research and development is also closely following the trend, while continuing to improve the practical functions, but also took care of health and environmental protection, many furniture, home improvement materials have begun 'Water-based' road. After visiting three large home improvement building materials markets and home stores, it was found that water-based paints are the most popular among consumers.
'I want to buy a water lacquer, the most environmentally friendly kind. ' In a 'Chenyang Shuiqiu' store in Fancheng District, a customer entered the door and asked the salesperson. The salesperson smiled and explained: 'We have a sunny morning water.' Paint products are all water-based green paint, paint has long been replaced. '
Since water-based paints do not contain organic solvents such as benzene and xylene, they do not require curing agents, and their production processes have low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). With the increase of owners’ health awareness and environmental protection law enforcement, waterborne paints continue to heat up. Almost become synonymous with environmentally friendly coatings.
Some experts pointed out that China's paint industry is second only to the large petrochemical industry. The total emission of VOCs in China is about 18% from traditional solvent-based paints. Compared with paint, VOCs emissions from water paint are almost negligible. Therefore, the full water-based development of coatings will contribute to the improvement of air quality in China.
Under the background of increasing the speed of environmental protection, local environmental protection policies have tightened, and paints containing a large amount of volatile organic compounds are gradually exiting the market. Furniture manufacturing industries in Beijing, Shenzhen and other cities have started to use water paints in full since 2017, following Guangdong in 2018. After the full implementation of the 'oil-to-water' policy in Zhongshan City, on March 7th, Tianjin City requested that the city’s auto repair industry use water-based paints before January 2019. This is the first major city in North China, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc. to promote water conversion. After that, a new wave of oil-to-water changes in China's second-tier and third-tier cities began, and a paint revolution was sweeping across the country.
'Because of the health and environmental features of water paint, it can be used immediately when it is used. It also has no odor. Many home improvement companies and individuals take the initiative to come and purchase.'
According to the “2017 China Water Paint Consumption Trend Survey Report”, nearly 60% of the respondents tend to use greener and healthier water paint products when decorating their homes. The green paint is the new trend for home improvement.
