China’s water-based paint into the production and marketing “fast lane”

In the haze management and environmental incentives, the traditional high-polluting paint is accelerating water-based paint and other emerging paint instead. Dai Guoqing, deputy secretary general of China Chemical Industry Association, said that in 2016, the output of paint enterprises above the national scale was 18,977,800 tons, up by 7.2% year on year. The first half of this year, the paint industry under construction, production and planning projects, water paint accounted for up to 70%.

Many people do not know that the paint can be seen everywhere is one of the factors causing haze. As the use of paint need to add organic solvents, the release of a large number of volatile organic compounds, and automobile exhaust, industrial waste gas together, and ultimately the formation of ozone and PM2.5 pollution. And the water can only be diluted with water, resulting in volatile organic matter less than 1/10 of the paint.

“Water-based paint industry is an important means of transformation to the green environment.” Dai Guoqing held in the day of the first water paint Expo, said the recent efforts to increase environmental protection, China has imposed by the paint consumption tax, the development of key downstream paint industry Air pollutant discharge standards and a series of initiatives to accelerate the paint to the paint changes.

“The current water paint in the steel structure, wood furniture, automotive and other industries to promote the use of a relatively high degree of ‘oil to water’ wave has begun to paint upstream and downstream industry chain expansion.” China Chemical Industry Association, deputy director of the Institute of Water Painting Said that is expected after 5 years, China’s water paint market demand will be more than 6.3 million tons.

According to the reporter to understand, the National Stadium “Bird’s Nest” recently updated film, on the choice of environmentally friendly water paint as a paint. Street streets everywhere to see the shared cycling “yellow car”, but also brush the water paint.

Ministry of Industry and other issued by the “key industries volatile organic matter reduction action plan” clearly requires that by 2018, low (no) volatile organic compounds, the proportion of green paint products to reach more than 60%. The industry generally believe that there is a lot of water paint to promote space.

“China’s water use paint in 2016 about 1.89 million tons, accounting for less than 10% of the proportion of the entire coating industry.” Hong Dingyi that, with the improvement of water paint performance, in the past that is difficult to replace the petrochemical, railway, The field of anti-corrosion coatings, now nearly 70% can also be replaced with water-based paint.
