The coatings industry locks in innovation "from quantity to quality"

China Coatings Online News Information
"13th Five-Year Plan" period, the paint industry will achieve a leap from quantity to quality, its focus is to improve the paint industry scientific and technological innovation capabilities, adjust product structure, improve product quality and grade, increase scientific research investment, the formation of a number of internationally competitive coating enterprises. This is the China Chemical News reporter from November 3 in Xi'an, the 2016 China Coatings Industry Association anti-corrosion coatings branch of the annual meeting and the fifth China Paint Technology Innovation Summit Forum learned the information.
Wang Jian, deputy director of the expert committee of China Coatings Industry Association and technical director of Zhongyuan Jotun Marine Coatings Company, said that according to the "13th Five-Year Plan" of China's paint industry, the total output of coatings will grow to about 22 million tons by 2020, of which the proportion of cost-effective and environmentally friendly paint varieties will reach 57%; To build an innovation platform and increase investment in scientific research, at least 20 to 30 large and medium-sized enterprises have established a sound platform for scientific and technological innovation, and large and medium-sized paint enterprises have invested 2% to 3% of their sales revenue in research and development. Through technological innovation, break through some technical key, form a number of industrialization results, a number of international advanced level of new products to achieve industrialization.
" Although China's paint industry has accelerated the pace of scientific and technological innovation, the basic research results of coatings are abundant, but the development of the industry is facing a serious and complex environment, growth potential and down-pressure coexist. Yang Yuande, secretary-general of the China Coatings Industry Association, told reporters that the collaborative innovation system of the paint industry is still not perfect, the product homogenization is serious, the added value is low, the product structure needs to be adjusted urgently, the enterprise scale is low, lack of core competitiveness. At the same time, the industry is facing increasing resource and environmental constraints, safety and environmental protection pressure is increasing, in addition to the collection of paint consumption tax, 9 provinces have begun to collect sewage charges, "paint industry atmospheric pollutant emission standards", "paint industry water pollutant emission standards" will also be issued. All these require coating enterprises to accelerate the transformation and upgrading, to adapt to the new environmental protection policy requirements.
experts believe that scientific and technological innovation is the paint industry supply-side reform of the main driving force. In this regard, the technical director of the exhibition chen new materials group plateau pointed out that coating enterprises must pay attention to process control innovation, stabilize product quality, improve market competitiveness. Wang Jian also said that Jotun coatings 10 years ago set up an innovation committee, unremittingly carry out technological innovation, the current enterprise technology research and development investment accounted for up to 20% of sales.
" innovation is important and must be ensured by mechanisms and institutions, otherwise it will not be sustainable. Liu Xianwen, technical director of Baotashan Paint Company in Shaanxi Province, believes that coating enterprises should not only increase investment in technological innovation, but also pay attention to management innovation, mechanism innovation, innovation management as a breakthrough, re-engineering workflow, and promote management to the next level; To technology research and development as the guide, to achieve high-quality products, environmental protection, non-toxic, low pollution; To adjust the product structure to meet market demand as the focus, to achieve market restructuring; To optimize the allocation of resources as the starting point, the establishment of efficient operation and operation mechanism, to achieve the use of human and material resources, mutual penetration.
