In 2017, the reshuffle of the coatings industry was completed, and the output reached a new high
Since 2003, with the rapid development of our country's real estate industry, the demand for environmentally friendly coatings has also begun to show an eruptive growth. After several years of development, China has become the country with the largest demand for environmentally friendly coatings in the world. And domestic environmental protection coating manufacturers have also sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. As of 2017, there have been more than 20,000 manufacturers of environmentally friendly coatings, among which more than 2,000 well-known brands have been established. The result of the flocking of environmentally friendly coating companies into the industry has resulted in uneven coatings. Beginning in 2016, the introduction of the "most stringent real estate control policy" and objective reasons such as the continuous increase in raw material costs have promoted several rounds of major reshuffles in the environmental protection coatings industry. Some small environmentally friendly coating companies suffered serious setbacks and withdrew from the market. The remaining large and medium-sized environmental protection coating companies continue to play games, and the market has begun to turn to benign development. By 2017, the coating industry has been reshuffled, and the output of the entire coating industry has reached a new high.
Environmentally friendly water-based paints compete with traditional oil-based paints, and water-based paints have become the new favorite of the industry
As people’s awareness of environmental protection has become stronger, the country has also paid more attention to environmental protection and has become more stringent. In early 2015, the "Environmental Protection Law", which was called China’s “strictest in history”, was officially implemented. Companies levy a 4% paint excise tax. Moreover, large-scale incentives have been offered to companies that meet environmental protection standards. Paints with a VOC content of 420 g/l or less under construction can be exempted from consumption tax. Traditional oil-based paint products are facing significant shocks, and new low-polluting water-based paints gradually occupy the market and become the new favorite of the industry.
Under the background of energy saving and emission reduction, water-based paint will be the future development direction
Compared with traditional paint, water-based paint is a new type of environmentally friendly paint with water as a thinner, and does not contain toxic and harmful gases such as benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde. Compared with paint, it has significant environmental advantages. It is an important guarantee for achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. In recent years, it has received more and more attention. As a low-pollution green paint, it will replace the traditional oil-based paint and become the protagonist of the world paint market in the future. According to incomplete statistics, the annual demand for industrial anti-corrosion coatings in China is about 2.5 million tons, of which 1.8 million tons can be replaced by water-based industrial anti-corrosion coatings. Because of the limitations of traditional coatings, the annual resource waste rate is also more than 4 billion yuan. . The harm to the environment is immeasurable.
Therefore, the reform of the coating industry is imperative. Water-based industrial anti-corrosion coatings will surely replace traditional coatings and are widely used in various fields such as petrochemicals, automobiles, railways, ships, and containers.
At present, the revolution in the coating industry has been completed internationally. Water-based coatings have reached 70-80% of the international market share, and even reached 90% in some developed countries in Europe and America.
