Analysis of domestic VOCS control regulations in many provinces: or it will become a powerful "engine" for the promotion of water paint in China

It is not easy to grow the economy and improve the environment. For our country's current situation, it is a mission and responsibility to strive to explore the green development approach of harmony between man and nature, and economy and environment. As a former "emissions giant"-the coatings industry should fully implement the concept of green development, comprehensively strengthen environmental protection work, optimize the development of enterprises with environmental protection, continuously achieve new results of green development, and continuously implement a new situation of ecological civilization.

It is understood that in order to strictly control the issue of VOCs emissions, the country has made an important decision to ban the use of paints and water paints in various factories. For example, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other regions have already begun to implement this. Once the news came out, many water paint manufacturers took action: Beijing alone Many factories in the region have begun to change, and the market is huge. We can look at the management and control of VOCs in various places:

As the industrial base of the three eastern provinces, in recent years, in order to focus on the pollution control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of ozone and fine particle precursors, the "Shenyang City's 2017 Hazard Defense Campaign Plan" mentioned that all A new contract was signed, and environmental protection clauses were added, requiring the use of water-based coatings and indoor air detection after decoration to be included in the decoration project contract. In addition, Shenyang will also rectify the industrial sources of 8 key industries such as automobile surface coating, household production, and coating, and complete the centralized treatment of VOCs pollution such as construction projects, decoration and building materials stores by the end of October.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Surrounding Areas Autumn-Winter 2017-2018 Comprehensive Action Plan for the Comprehensive Treatment of Atmospheric Pollution ”First of all, this year is the year of assessment of the“ Ten Atmospheric Articles ”first-phase targets. There are clear assessment indicators for the effects of atmospheric governance. Secondly, the winter production limitation is no longer a pure “26 + 2” city. Non- “26 + 2” cities in Shandong, Hebei and other places have also strengthened environmental protection measures to deal with winter environmental protection issues. Third, steel, nonferrous metals, Coatings and other industries are generally more profitable and will actively respond to environmental protection policies to protect their cakes. These factors determine that environmental protection measures will be stricter this fall and winter.

Earlier, the Standing Committee of the Guizhou Provincial People's Congress considered and approved the Guizhou air pollutant tax standard of 2.4 yuan per pollution equivalent. Last year, Guizhou Province collected 446 million yuan in sewage charges, far less than the environmental protection expenditure of 8.534 billion yuan that year. The Guizhou plan states that Guizhou currently implements the minimum standards set by the state for sewage charges. After floating, it is still in the middle and lower levels across the country and is close to neighboring provinces. To a certain extent, it can avoid excessive differences in tax burden with neighboring provinces, leading to "industrial and pollution transfer." Negative effects.

In order to achieve the purpose of reducing VOCs, the best choice for coatings is to implement high solids and water-based coatings. The use of high-solids coatings is the same as that of solvent-based coatings, and there is no need to change the spray process. Equipment and construction processes need to be adjusted. Add spraying equipment, such as water spray gun with barometer and special blowing device, to improve the construction environment, pre-treat the substrate, strictly adjust the proportion, and use the correct spraying method. Last year, the Ministry of Finance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Volatility Organic Matters Reduction Action Plan for Key Industries”. According to the goals set by the plan, by 2018, VOCs emissions in the industrial industry will be reduced by more than 3.3 million tons than in 2015. The proportion of products reached more than 60%. The main tasks in the coatings industry are the replacement of raw materials, the implementation of closed, continuous and automated technological transformation of the production process in the coating field, the implementation of recycling and comprehensive treatment projects, and truly "source control, process management, and end treatment".

In view of this, whether from the development of the water paint industry or social needs, the change to water paint has become an inevitable trend of development. The Ministry of Environmental Protection's plan will surely become a powerful "engine" for the promotion of water paint in China, and at the same time inject new power into the water paint market.
