How long is the road to waterborne coatings in the world?

Recently, the United States Grand View Research company released a new global industrial coating market analysis report that at present, the global solvent-based products account for more than 75% of the total global industrial coatings. The emergence of this data can not help but be dazed - foreign water paint is not already promoted it?

In recent years, China has continuously promoted water-based paints. Apart from the severe haze in China, it urgently needs reorganization and protection of the environment. There is another important reason for this, that is, foreign water-based paints now account for 70% to 80% of the total. ratio. It is precisely because of this that China has actually fallen behind, and it is necessary to quickly catch up with the pace of foreign countries and step up the pace of waterborne coatings. However, such word-of-mouth data is often not true, and most of them are only rumored. Of course, the "70% to 80%" data is not out of thin air, and people in the industry pointed out that this "70% to 80%" of water-based paint refers to the architectural paint in this area, and the architectural paint industry itself is the possession of water-based paint. The amount is relatively large, so there is no such thing as an effort to advance this "water-based paint." At present, China's water-based paint actually refers specifically to "waterborne wood paint." As wood coatings and furniture lacquers belonging to the category of industrial coatings, according to the author's understanding, industrial coatings can be divided into water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings and powder coatings. Among them, solvent-based coatings still dominate the global industrial coating technology, and the proportion reaches More than 75% of the total. Not only domestically but also, the relevant laws and regulations of all countries in the world requiring reduction of VOC emissions are in full swing. Among them, waterborne coatings have an important role. Of course, technological advances in solvent-based coatings and powder coatings will also have an essential share in the process of increasing the market share of industrial coatings. The foreign moon is more round? When people promote water-based coatings, they always like to compare how they compare with ourselves. However, in fact, how to reduce the emission of VOCs and how to better promote water-based coatings is a matter of global concern. According to relevant reports, the development of water-based coatings is a problem that is highly valued by industrialized countries in the world. For example, the development of waterborne coatings in the United States accounts for more than 50% of all its paint developments, while the development of waterborne coatings accounts for 20% of all its total coatings. From the 21st century, Japan began to attach importance to and develop environmentally friendly coatings based on water-based coatings. In recent years, China has also issued many important environmental protection regulations and implementation standards for the research, development and production of water-based coatings. In 2015, China began to collect paint consumption tax and the “sewage charges” of the furniture industry. These two environmental protection policies directly address the current phenomenon of serious pollution in the two major industries of paint and furniture. The range of applications in industrial coatings. Of course, relying on the constraints of the policy is impossible to accomplish such an arduous task. It is more important for colleagues who are doing basic environmental protection procedures to change the “difficult to promote” status of water-based paints in terms of production techniques, painting and other aspects.
