Paint market is about to usher in a new revolution

Business News Agency November 17th The continuous change of the paint market will bring about new changes in the paint market. Waterborne coatings will become a new force in the paint industry. Its birth and development are mainly due to the gradual recognition of the importance of environmental protection. Driven. Since the first volatile organic compound (VOC) law was promulgated in California in 1966, the work of countries to strictly control voc emissions and restrict the production and use of high voc paint products has been elevated to the height of laws and regulations. Because of its extremely low vocal content and energy saving, it has become the mainstream of the modern paint industry.

According to statistics on the production of paint products in various regions of the world, waterborne industrial coatings in North America accounted for 43%, solvent-based industrial coatings accounted for only 51%; waterborne industrial coatings in Western Europe accounted for 34%, solvent-based industrial coatings accounted for only 52% However, in China, water-based industrial coatings only account for 15%, and solvent-based industrial coatings are as high as 80.5%. It can be seen that there is still a big gap between us and developed countries in the field of water-based coatings. Fortunately, this situation is changing. Change from the consumer's ideological change, consumers led the manufacturers to follow, but the advantages of water-based paint manufacturers are also the heart of the other manufacturers; water-based paint compared with ordinary paint, the advantages of ordinary paint is unmatched.

The paint market is about to usher in new changes1. The water-based paint uses water as a solvent, which saves a lot of resources; the water-based paint eliminates the fire risk during construction; it reduces air pollution; the water-based paint adopts only a small amount of low-toxicity alcohol ether organic solvents, and improves the working environment conditions. General organic solvents for waterborne coatings (of coatings) range from 10% to 15%, but current cathodic electrophoretic coatings have dropped below 1.2%, which has significant effect on reducing pollution and saving resources.

2. Waterborne coatings can be applied directly on wet surfaces and wet environments; waterborne coatings have a good adaptability to the surface of the material and the coating has strong adhesion.

3. Water-based coating tools can be cleaned with water, greatly reducing the consumption of cleaning solvents.

4. Waterborne coating electrophoretic coating uniform, smooth. Good flatness; inner cavity, weld, corners, edges can be coated with a certain thickness of the coating, there is good protection; electrophoretic coating has the best corrosion resistance, thick-film cathodic electrophoretic coating Salt spray resistance up to 1200h.

With the rising standard of living, people are increasingly concerned about environmental protection and health, and promote the demand for water-based coatings. The promotion of water-based coatings is very beneficial to the rational use of resources and the improvement of environmental hygiene. Due to the increased operability of water-based paint construction, waterborne wood coatings are gradually accepted by the market because of their low-harmful, low-pollution characteristics. Coating companies are faced with many unfavorable factors in the macro-environment, and it is already raining. Once the time is ripe, the paint industry will have a new wave of reforms.
