    With the aggravation of environmental pollution, now people hear the haze on the "talk about tiger color change." The term haze is not new, from ancient times to date has been present, air a lot of fine particles such as dust, waves of foam, pollen, etc. are haze composition molecules, when the atmosphere has a large number of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic matter (VOCs) and other pollutants, they form sulfuric acid and sulfate, nitrate and nitrate and organic matter will cause great harm to human beings.
    many studies have shown that VOCs are an important prerequisite for PM2.5 formation, while the production and application of solvent-based
    coatings
    are important sources of VOCs. Moreover, VOCs are toxic and, in terms of harm to the human body, are less severe lying to the skin, eyes, respiratory tract or become irritating or corrosive. More serious is the damage to the human nervous system, affecting our nervous system, liver, kidneys, stomach and other organs. The most serious is carcinogenicity. In addition, VOCs react with chemicals in the atmosphere, and the damage caused by the formation of photochemical fumes should not be taken lightly.
    voCs are emitted into the sky and ozone reacts to form an ozone hole that increases ultraviolet radiation. VOCs emissions in the near-ground emissions may form ozone, near-ground ozone is not conducive to human health, so VOCs emissions whether near the ground or high altitude is a very bad thing. It is precisely because these substances have a great impact on people's lives that all parts of the country (especially in Guangdong) are calling for restrictions/bans on the production and use of solvent-based coatings. Take Guangdong region, this year began to have Dongguan, Huizhou, Shenzhen and many other places to implement the solvent-based paint control measures.
    Dongguan
    will focus on controlling 12 industries including refining and petrochemicals, chemical raw materials and chemicals manufacturing (solvent-based coatings, inks, pigments, adhesives and similar products manufacturing), chemical raw materials manufacturing, synthetic fiber manufacturing (nylon, polyester, spandex fiber manufacturing), surface coating (including metal and plastic surface coating). The city is divided into VOCs key control industry barrier access area, strict control area and general control area, further strict VOCs key control industry environmental access.
    Huizhou
    to gradually integrate THE annual emissions of VOCs of more than 10 tons of enterprises into the key regulatory enterprise management. We will steadily promote the governance of VOCs for key regulatory enterprises, and complete the comprehensive rectification of key provincial and municipal supervision enterprises by the end of 2018 and 2020 respectively.
    Shenzhen
    urged the city's furniture enterprises by the end of June to solvent-based coating production line into
    water-based coatings
    ,
    uv coatings
    and other low-volatile coatings.
    It can be seen that the policy of controlling the production/use of solvent-based coatings is in fact a green light for the rapid development of the water paint industry, but also from the side to promote the entire paint industry water paint instead of solvent-based coatings pace. In fact, the paint industry "oil for water" the pace of change has already begun. Earlier, there have been many enterprises have been on the "oil to water" statement, many enterprises have expressed through various media platforms "oil to water" views and enterprise transformation of the determination.
    water paint can absorb the eyeball key is that it is water-like thinner, does not contain benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, free TDI, toxic heavy metals and other substances, so will not pollute the environment, will not pose a threat to human health. In the study of most of the water paint, we can not easily find that the water content of water paint is about 50%, greatly improving the safety of storage, transportation and construction process.
    new opportunities for environmentally friendly buildings are opening up business opportunities, giving water paint unprecedented room for growth. Industry professionals believe that the market is promoting the coating industry from excessive release capacity of solvent-based coatings to resource-saving and environment-friendly water paint products, take the road of environmental protection development, become the inevitable choice of the market.
