Environmental protection combination punch again hit the furniture industry to provoke a dark battle of paint

China Paint Network
: Air pollution is related to furniture? Recently, Beijing issued "wood furniture manufacturing atmospheric pollutant emission standards" and other 5 local environmental standards, the furniture industry clearly become the object of rectification, resulting in
paint
environmental protection and other issues have been hotly debated, industry insiders said the initiative will promote oil-based paint-based paint market towards "water-based painting."
the environmental protection of furniture is not only related to the health of indoor life, its production process is directly harmful to the atmospheric environment. Following the new Environmental Protection Law, some of the measures to hit the source of pollution, Beijing issued the "wood furniture manufacturing industry atmospheric pollutant emission standards" will be formally implemented on July 1, it clearly requires wooden furniture in the manufacturing and production process, through the equipment exhaust cylinder emissions of atmospheric pollutants benzene, non-methane total hydrocarbons, particulate matter emissions concentration shall not exceed the prescribed limits.
According to data released by the China Coatings Industry Association, China's paint coating industry emits an average of about 4.3 million tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere a year, accounting for about 98% of oily paints, while water-based paints account for only about 2%.
industry analysis, the furniture manufacturing industry into one of the sources of sewage, mainly due to wood processing workshop, paint grinding workshop volatile pollutants more. And "wood furniture manufacturing industry atmospheric pollutant emission standards" and other standards, the industry is generally believed to be conducive to the paint market "oil-to-water" process to speed up.
In mid-June, reporters have visited the Red Star Mei Kailong, Xiyingmen and other Changsha large building materials home stores found that children's furniture are basically water-based paint as the surface coating raw materials, while most brand furniture is rarely labeled
painting
category. However, the current furniture market, there are some brands began to abandon oily paint, the whole line into water-like paint technology. In June last year, Qumei Furniture announced that it had fully started a water-like paint retrofit, while TATA Wood Gate was also testing water-like paint products.
Water-resistant paint with environmental performance, why is still encountering "embarrassing" in the market? Reporters from a number of brand furniture store sales staff to get the answer mainly because of the high cost of water-based paint, complex technology, long transformation time, and water resistance, hardness is not enough and other issues have become a lot of consumers' worries.
Liu Jie, Minister of Industrial Development of China Coating Industry Association, said that in Europe and the United States, water-based paint has entered a mature stage of development, 90% of oily paint has been replaced by water-based paint,
water-based wood paint
physical performance in practical applications has been fully competent.
on how to judge the merits of water-based paint furniture, Liu Jie gave two suggestions: "First of all, to see the ten ring certification, that is, the national environmental mark product certification." This is still a more authoritative standard certification, if you can not meet this standard, the use of water-based paint is not really environmental protection is not good to grasp. Perhaps some poor quality water-quality paint is not as environmentally friendly as some high-quality oily paint. ”
