The most stringent VOC emission standards in July to implement wood coating "oil-to-water"

China Coatings Network
: A factory-wide shuffle is approaching the Beijing furniture industry, known as the most stringent VOC emission standards in history, "wood furniture manufacturing atmospheric pollutant emission standards" (DB11/1202-2015) will be officially implemented on July 1. Industry insiders revealed that wood furniture, wooden flooring and other wood products coating in the "oil-to-water" process transformation needs a large amount of money, some of the strength of small, irregular furniture enterprises are likely to be reshuffled out.
as a local standard in Beijing, the severe index of the Standard for Atmospheric Pollutant Emissions in the Wood Furniture Manufacturing Industry (DB11/1202-2015) can not be underestimated, and the limits of pollutant emissions have reached the international advanced level. The standard stipulates that from now until December 31, 2016, the limit of the volatile organic matter content limit of
coatings
in ready-to-use state produced by enterprises is 500g/L, and the maximum allowable emission concentration limit for all types of atmospheric pollutants emitted through equipment (workshop) exhaust cylinders is stipulated, of which benzene is 0. 5mg/m3, benzene is 15mg/m3, non-methane total hydrocarbons are 40mg/m3, particulate matter is 10mg/m3, the standard even factory boundaries, non-closed paint workshop work places, closed paint workshop can open doors and windows and other non-organized VOCs emission monitoring point concentration limits have also made requirements.
important to note that this standard applies not only to wooden furniture enterprises, but also to the atmospheric emissions management of wood doors and windows, floor manufacturing and wood products container manufacturers. "This standard strictly stipulates the volatile organic matter of coatings used by wood furniture manufacturers and sets strict requirements for the operation and management of pollution control facilities." Zheng Rehong, deputy director of the pollution prevention department of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, told reporters that the content of volatile organic matter used by enterprises within the scope of the implementation of this standard must meet the limits set by the standard, and if it does not comply with the environmental protection law, it should be subject to environmental protection administrative punishment in accordance with the law.
face of such strict VOC emission standards, Beijing furniture enterprises are urgently changing the production process, the most important of which is from oily paint to water-based paint.
