Wood Coatings Industry Plays "Green Variations"

"Oil" changes to "water" prospects

At present, the waterborne wood coating industry has exhibited an upstream paint production heat, while the downstream furniture industry has applied a cold “big fire and two heavy weather” state, accelerating the industrialization and application of waterborne wood coatings, and has become the focus of attention in the industry. From May 26th to 28th, at the 5th China International Waterborne Wood Coatings Development Seminar held in Shenzhen, Sun Lianying, President of China Coatings Industry Association, told reporters that waterborne wood coatings with water as medium and traditional oil as medium Compared with solvent-based wood coatings, odorless, low VOC emissions, environmental health, safe use, and resource-saving advantages are the general trend of the development of the wood coatings industry in China. She affirmed that waterborne wood coatings used for home renovation and furniture manufacturing will become the new darling of consumers.

China Waterborne Wood Coatings Industry Technology Alliance** Yang Xian said that the current domestic use of home furnishing most of the wood coating is a solvent-based paint, solvent-based paint with its high fullness, high hardness and quick drying features by the vast number of consumers The favor. However, with the development of the economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, the country’s restrictions on volatile organic compounds and toxic substances have become more and more stringent. People are paying more attention to health and environmental protection. Waterborne wood coating industry in China will be the trend of the times. The market share of waterborne wood decoration coatings in the world is also increasing year by year. It has occupied half of the developed countries in Europe and the United States. Therefore, domestic waterborne wood coatings have a broad market prospect.

It is understood that on January 24, 2011, the Shenzhen Municipal Human Settlements Environment Committee formally issued the "Notice on Launching the Remediation of Volatile Organic Compounds in Furniture Manufacturing Enterprises" to various furniture manufacturing enterprises in Shenzhen. This is an upgrade of the furniture industry in Shenzhen. Strongly targeted documents, the text clearly stipulates that the current production line of furniture manufacturers that have used water-based paint or UV paint can temporarily not implement the VOC exhaust pipe specification requirements, without rectification, the rest with solvent-based paint PU, NC, PE coating line The correction was completed before July 31 this year. At the same time, the Shenzhen Municipal Government subsidized 25% of the waterborne wood coating and UV coating production lines.

At the seminar, participants agreed that the Shenzhen Environmental Protection Department’s document was particularly good news for water paint production R&D companies. Sun Lianying pointed out that not only the Shenzhen Municipal Government, water-borne wood coatings as environmentally friendly products, the country has also given relevant policies and support, certified by experts and relevant departments, has been included in the encouraged products of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and are listed In the high-tech fields that are mainly supported by the state, the research and development expenses of the applicant companies can be deducted before taxes. In March this year, Beijing Municipality also promulgated regulations prohibiting the sale of solvent-based paints on the Third Ring Road. With the implementation of the policies, the development of the waterborne wood coating industry will be accelerated.

Sun Lianying said that the market prospects for waterborne wood coatings are undoubtedly broad. Apart from policy promotion, for many coated enterprises that are interested in seizing the waterborne coating market, R&D efforts have been strengthened to break through the technological bottlenecks and continuously improve and enhance their performance. Important measures.

It is understood that many large-scale paint companies in China have already seen the broad market prospects of domestic waterborne wood coatings and have increased investment in R&D efforts. Guangdong Bardez Chemical Co., Ltd. cooperated with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in 2009 and undertook the transfer of major scientific research achievements of the national “863” project. Heavy waterborne wood coatings were launched. In 2010, the investment reached more than 10 million yuan and the total area reached 1,800 square meters. The waterborne wood coating R&D center was officially put into use.

Sun Lianying told reporters that after more than 10 years of development, China's waterborne wood coating technology has gradually matured, and it has a wide range of conditions for promotion. In recent years, the industry has been calling for all parties to support the promotion and application of waterborne wood coatings. For the market that opens waterborne wood coatings, the promotion of sales terminals and the cultivation of market demands are also essential tasks. The China Coating Association has established a China-based waterborne wood coatings industry technology alliance with outstanding companies in the coating industry. It will jointly promote the water-based process of wood coatings with joint coating companies, furniture companies, and coating companies. Water-based wood coatings will become coatings during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. A bright spot in the market, the era of rising is not far off.
