Paint industry strive to "oil to water"

China Coatings Network
: With the country's attention to environmental protection,
coatings
furniture industry has also embarked on the road of reform. Compared
high
of water paint, environmentally friendly water paint has become the direction of development. Although, the current "oil-to-water" has a certain cost pressure, but once changed, will get a variety of benefits. In the future,
coating enterprises should
actively promote the application of environmentally friendly coatings and promote the development of China's environmental protection cause.
2014, China's total coating production reached 16.4918 million tons. Behind such huge production lies significant environmental pollution and energy consumption, and coating products of this base emit millions of tons of VOCs into the atmosphere during the coating process. Reducing the pressure on the environment and energy caused by the production and coating process will become a key task of the "13th Five-Year Plan" of the coating industry.
At present, China's low-polluting paint growth rate is much lower than the growth rate of the country's total paint production, in recent years only water-based
bicoal coatings
accounted for a considerable proportion of the growth rate, the overall proportion of low-polluting paint is still negative growth.
low-carbon environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction work can not be separated from the development of paint technology. Among all kinds of coatings, a kind of water-based paint with little environmental pollution and healthier consumers has been widely concerned. It is reported that this water-based paint is water-based thinner, does not contain organic solvents, it paint film plump, crystal clear, flexible and water-resistant, wear-resistant, aging-resistant, yellow-resistant, fast drying, easy to use. Can be used in: wood, metal, plastic, glass, building surface and other materials.
In fact, the application of water-based paint has been a long time, as early as 10 years ago the European Union began to prohibit the production of paint, vigorously promote water paint, in order to solve the public decoration indoor pollution, industrial decoration environmental pollution, paint production water and air pollution, and most of our country is still using paint. Figures released by the Environmental Monitoring Center of the China Interior Decoration Association show that as many as 110,000 people are poisoned by exposure to paint each year, an average of about 304 a day.
the volatile harmful gases of paint can be said to be the second largest invisible killer of human beings besides automobile exhaust, one can't help but ask why not replace paint with more environmentally friendly water-like paint? The original
water-based
, raw materials are basically imported from abroad, so the price of products is relatively high. In addition, water-based coatings in hardness, plumpness, construction is not economical and other aspects than oil
wood paint
gap. Furniture enterprises are used to the effect of oily paint, although the recognition of water-based paint environmental performance, but from the concept is not willing to accept.
with the country's continuous attention to environmental protection, the reform of the paint industry has become an inevitable trend. Although there is some cost pressure to "oil-to-water", once it is changed, there will be many benefits. According to china Paint News's terminal database, the number of furniture enterprises in the country more than 80,000, serious overcapacity, fish and dragon mixed. Industrial restructuring and industrial upgrading itself is an urgent problem for China's furniture industry.
future, paint enterprises should plan how to jointly furniture enterprises and other industries to carry out industrial transformation and upgrading and structural adjustment, from high pollution, high energy consumption and gradually to low-carbon environmental protection direction. At the same time, increase investment in green paint technology research and development, further effective docking with the furniture industry, and actively promote the practical application of water-based paint and industrialization process. Do these well, will paint enterprises and furniture enterprises have an immeasurable role.
