Beijing furniture production of water-modified paint spraying

for environmental protection strict, Beijing furniture manufacturers all changed water-based paint spraying. From July 1, 2015, the Standard for Atmospheric Pollutant Emissions in the Wood Furniture Manufacturing Industry (DB11/1202-2015) came into effect, and after 2017, Beijing's furniture manufacturing industry will completely prohibit the use of oily
paint
i.e.
paint
spraying. This standard is known in the industry as the most stringent furniture pollutant emission standards. In fact, since last year, Beijing has furniture production enterprises to fully realize or began to start the "oil-to-water" work. Why do some enterprises take the first step, while others remain static? After "oil to water", how will the wood products market change?
Furniture production enterprises to change water-based paint spraying
time has only passed a year, not long ago the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Department issued five new local standards for atmospheric pollutant emissions, involving boilers, petrochemicals, furniture manufacturing and other industries, the standards were implemented on July 1. Among them, "Wood furniture manufacturing industry atmospheric pollutant emission standards" (DB11/1202-2015) is known as the country's most stringent furniture pollutant emission standards, the local standard for the wood furniture manufacturing industry to limit the content of volatile organic matter in raw materials indicators, as well as process measures and management requirements, from the source to control volatile organic matter (also known as VOC) emissions. According to specific regulations, after 2017, Beijing's furniture manufacturing industry will completely prohibit the use of oily paint, that is, paint spraying.
One of the main purposes of the new emission standards is to promote local furniture enterprises in Beijing to replace all organic solvent coatings (oily coatings) used in wood products such as furniture into
water-based coatings
and not to replace the enterprises will completely withdraw from the market. In order to promote energy conservation and environmental protection, as early as January 26 this year, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued a "notice on the collection of consumption tax on paints": with the approval of the State Council from February 1, 2015 nationwide collection of paint consumption tax, the scope of collection, including production, commissioned processing and import links, the applicable tax rate is 4%. At the same time, the construction state of volatile organic matter (VOC) content of less than 420 g / liter (including) of coatings exempt from consumption tax. Analysts pointed out that these two major environmental protection policies directly for the current paint, furniture, two major industrial pollution phenomenon, two hands together, upstream and downstream together control, thereby expanding the application of water-based coatings in
pro
industrial coatings.
oil to water, why was it difficult to promote it before?
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are one of the important sources of PM2.5 generation. Data show that 18% of volatile organic compounds are produced by conventional solvent-based paint emissions.
of water-
wood paint only accounts for about one-tenth of oily paint emissions. According to monitoring data, last year Qumei changed the water-using
wood paint
after the comparison of oily paint VOC emissions to be directly reduced by about 90%. In fact, whether enterprises can achieve the environmental protection of their own products, with their own strength, technology has a lot to do with. It is precisely because of the water-based paint on technology, production technology and other requirements, high costs, leading to low penetration rate in China. According to the person in charge of Jiabao Chemical Group Co., Ltd., since the 1940s, foreign water-based coating technology gradually developed and matured, and applied it to wood, to 1980 in Denmark officially commercialized water-based coatings. In our country, the industrialization road of water-like wood paint has been difficult.
water-based wood coatings
from the rise to the present nearly two decades, the earliest involved in the well-known
coatings enterprises
but difficult to become the climate.
In 1995, German Tufang coatings first entered the Chinese market, to promote its already mature water-based
wood coatings
brand in Europe, although its products have good environmental performance, but because of the high price, coupled with China's application of water-based paint climate can not be formed, resulting in the product "water and soil do not accept." In 1996, Shandong Alyssa became the first company to produce water-based wood coatings, but in 2000 it declined. Shenzhen Paint Bao Chemical Co. , Ltd. in 2003 the third rushed into the market, said its products to solve the quality and cost of water-like paint problems, but a few years have passed, the market response is flat. From the Beijing Furniture Industry Association learned that the current registration of the Association of production-oriented member enterprises equipment transformation work has been carried out, in addition to Qumei furniture has been in last year's comprehensive "oil-to-water", the top 100 furniture has also completed the "oil-to-water" project, Dawn Wenyi, Ronglin and other large and medium-sized enterprises are in intensive action.
water-based coatings in different furniture on different effects, need to constantly experiment, test, so as to adjust to the best gloss, but also need to introduce and transform the production line. According to the Association Vice President and Secretary-General Ren Shuqin, there are also some enterprises are being selected for relocation, mainly based on cost considerations. Standard implementation is divided into two stages, the first stage from July 1 to December 31 next year, a period of one and a half years, the requirements for enterprises to produce and use in the ready-to-use state of the paint volatile organic matter content does not exceed the specified limits, the standard even factory boundaries, non-closed paint workshop work places, closed paint workshop can open doors and windows and other non-organized VOC emission monitoring point concentration limits have also made requirements. From January 1, 2017, the implementation of the second phase of the more stringent requirements, that is, the Beijing furniture manufacturing industry prohibited the use of model solvent (oily) paint spraying process. Industry critics said that in the face of stringent VOC emission standards and the second phase of strict requirements, Beijing production-oriented furniture enterprises to change the production process, the goal is to change the target of oily paint to water-based paint.
furniture factory "oil-to-water" to get three road
for production-oriented furniture enterprises, the cost of using water-based paint than the use of traditional oily paint 30%, or even up to 50%. "The high cost of water-powered wood paint, the high brushing requirements and the difficulty of transforming production lines are the three main reasons why most furniture companies are reluctant to change water-using wood paint." Paint expert Tan Chunlei said. According to the relevant surveys, less than 15% of furniture manufacturers in the industry use water-like paint. Relevant data show that at least half of the city's more than 1000 furniture manufacturing enterprises are still using oily paint spraying, a comprehensive replacement of water-based paint to a certain extent will increase the production costs of enterprises, but the relevant departments will also be such technical transformation into the scope of technical reform bonus support. A brand of paint staff in an interview with the Beijing Evening News Home Weekly, said that it is not the water-based paint enterprise production capacity problem, but now the market is not so much demand. Now, with policy-driven demand, does that mean that water-like paint is a substitute for oily paint spraying?
for the coatings industry, the implementation of the new standard is not only a major test, but also a rare opportunity. It is understood that the current market both water-based paint coating enterprises are not in the minority and there are more and more trends, but due to market usage restrictions, large-scale application of wood products spraying is not much. In other words, as a rising new thing, there are a few successful brand enterprises. "In terms of Manufacturing enterprises in Beijing, Qumei and Ruichi have been remodeled, Coppel and TATA have also been transformed, and many other companies are talking to us about cooperation and are in the preparing stage." Liu Jianping, head of the water-based paint market in the northern part of the country, told the Beijing Evening News that cabinets and wooden doors are also within the scope of Beijing's wooden furniture sewage standards. Asked about the cycle of changing water-based paint, Liu Jianping replied: "Some enterprises need two or three months, and some take more than half a year." This is related to the scale of enterprise transformation, the existing factory transformation conditions, enterprise progress control and other factors.
, Zhao Ruihai, chairman of Qumei Furniture, said that the biggest challenge for enterprises using water-like wood paint is technical problems when announcing the full-line introduction of water-colored paint. Speaking about why their preparations for the transformation lasted two years, Zhao Ruihai said: "We first have to figure out the production process, please 8 to 10 painters, let them find the most suitable for Qumei products of water-like wood paint, because also consider the technical cost, so there is no three or four months of fundamental argument is not clear." Then buy equipment, build production workshop, these things have to take at least three months, if the enterprise wants to use imported equipment, this link at least half a year. Then put the equipment into production, and it will take another three months. Zhao Ruihai said that these products can not be put into production immediately on a large scale, because before the launch of the market to the product sampling, return visits to ensure that this water-like paint process will not be a problem.
"Oil-to-water" need to balance costs and effects
some people speculate that the Beijing pilot, under the policy-driven era of water-based paint has arrived, the next few years oil-based paint will completely withdraw from the market, replaced by water-based thinner, no organic solvents, with low-carbon energy-saving, non-explosive, ultra-low emissions of water paint. Furniture companies are either actively transforming or "having to" transform. Wood paint is used for solid wood, wood panels, plywood, fiberboard and other wood products on the paint, according to the product category can be divided into water-based paint and oily paint. As a wood paint belonging to the category of industrial coatings, industrial coatings can be divided into water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings and
powder coatings
, of which solvent-based coatings still account for the leading position in the global industrial coatings technology, and the proportion of the total amount of more than 75%. Not only domestic, the current global countries to reduce VOC emissions of relevant laws and regulations are in the process of perfection, of which water-based coatings occupy an important role. Cost is the most important factor in furniture coating, how to balance the cost and effect, furniture enterprises are the most difficult problem. "As far as I know, how to absorb the increased costs after changing to water-like paint is the biggest headache for furniture manufacturers." Mr. Wang, sales manager of a water-based paint brand, told reporters, "Because more than half of the thousands of furniture manufacturers in Beijing have plans to move out, this is not good news for all water-based paint companies." "
the furniture manufacturers left behind when they were upgraded to water-like paint?"
Beijing Dawn Wenyi Furniture Co., Ltd. is located near the South Sixth Ring Road, Ma Luqiao, for the "oil-to-water", General Manager Xiao Min said, enterprises are in the small batch to large-scale production of the experimental stage, mainly to solve technical problems. "The new tender has been bidding for this time and is currently conducting product stability
with several
-based coating brands." Xiao Min said, "All the pipeline into water-like paint is a huge and complex project, the entire process structure has to change, power aspects involving electricity, but also with change." The renovation of equipment and plant alone has given a budget of 40 million yuan, which has now cost more than 10 million yuan. "A furniture business person who did not want to be named to the Beijing Evening News home weekly reporter expressed "uneven", VOC paint throughout the country and can not help but produce, dealers and manufacturers of huge inventory, do not allow Beijing furniture production enterprises spraying use, is bound to the surrounding and the mainland of the third and fourth-tier cities, where the production of Hu products will also circulate to the whole country.
For ordinary consumers, it is good news that furniture enterprises reduce or strictly prohibit the use of oily coatings that are harmful to their health, but in the field of furniture circulation in Beijing, not only the products produced by Beijing furniture enterprises. "Beijing's furniture manufacturers are more 'losing money'. Although the government gave the 'oil-to-water' enterprise part of the start-up funds for pre-research and development, as well as government procurement projects priority bidding qualification support, but we still hope to promote high environmental standards of water-based paint technology throughout the country, or can have some other preferential policies tilted to local enterprises. "For furniture makers that continue to stay in Beijing, how to absorb the increased costs is a question that must be considered. "The relevant person in charge of the municipal environmental protection bureau also pointed out that the current environmental protection department is mainly monitoring the production link, the circulation link is not included in this column. That is to say, even under the most stringent restrictions, wooden furniture sold on the surface of Beijing is not all water-based paint products.
will the furniture raise the price? Will companies that have changed their water-based paints raise prices?
analysts think this is market behavior, the equivalent of asking: sell expensive consumers can accept not to accept? "We may have changed the water earlier than Qumei furniture." He Hongyi, general manager of Beijing Top 100 New Home Trading Co., Ltd., said that the factory is located in Shunyi District, NiuBarshan area of the top 100 furniture ahead of the government's request to enable water-based paint, the transformation of equipment and processes did cost a lot of money, but its original intention is to improve the environmental quality of solid wood products, not just for technical transformation. "It's not about the money, it's about the strategic thinking of the business." He Hongyi believes, "Our consumers are not afraid of you expensive, because they have a pursuit of quality of life, consider is cost-effective, so our product sales will not be reduced, will only rise." The
increase is mainly reflected in the recovery of water-based coatings in the spraying process, large enterprises have the funds to buy sprayers can basically solve this piece, small businesses may need to bite their teeth. But the most important thing is to change the consumer's long-standing misconceptions about water-like paint. Water-resistant paint has long been
by
paint companies that are no match for paint in high temperature performance and hardness. But paint experts say that this is not unresolvable, in similar table panels a moderate increase in costs enough to make up for the lack of water-resistant paint heat resistance, after all, in wardrobes, wooden beds do not exist such problems, in the cost should be treated differently, as "a penny, a penny", and the increased costs compared to the use of wood water-based paint at home brought about by the health benefits, is still very worthwhile, especially for families with elderly and children.
