“Without developing water-based coatings, it is a dead end that is placed in front of companies. Not to mention sales growth in 2012, whether paint companies in solvent-based paint producing provinces in Shandong province survive will be an unknown.†Dai Dianzhen, Manager of Shandong Liandi Paint Co., Ltd. This told reporters. In response to the development of the environmental protection strategy for the paint industry, the reporter interviewed several paint company leaders and guild experts for the past few days. The consensus was that R&D and production of high-value water-based paints had become the only way for the industry.
Solvent-based paints contain volatile pollutants that contain strong carcinogens. The volatilization time can be as long as 10 years. It is dubbed the "invisible killer." With the continuous improvement of the environmental health awareness of the entire people, the development of water-based coatings has become an inevitable choice for many coating companies. Fan Yuxiao, manager of Hebei Shijiazhuang Tiancai Chemical Co., Ltd., introduced the fact that the company is very representative: “Export paint company customers require us to provide water-based paint, otherwise their products will have no market. There are also some small and medium-sized paint units that also say solvent type. The paint has caused too much pollution to the environment during spraying and complaints from surrounding residents have required the use of water-based paints."
Although starting from the national energy-saving emission reduction strategy, accompanied by more and more demanding environmental protection needs of paint companies, the only way out for paint companies is to develop high value-added water-based paint products, but the development of water-based paint is far from satisfactory.
“Waterborne coatings are indeed cleaner and environmentally friendly products, but its technical requirements are high, and the products are also difficult to achieve the performance indicators of similar oil paints. In 2007, waterborne coating products produced by a coating company in Shandong Zibo were put on the market. Months have been forced off the shelves, the high prices do not say, mainly quality but off, slow drying, poor hardness, to the domestic paint companies to promote the sale of waterborne paint adversely affected, many consumers therefore do not trust the domestic waterborne paint. Technology has become the biggest factor restricting the development of water-based coatings. Typical 'industry heat, market cooling'." Dai Maozhen, manager of Shandong Liandi Paint Co., Ltd. said.
According to market research, Dow, Dufang, BASF, Bayer and other multinational coatings companies have made great efforts in the research, development and promotion of water-based paints, but they have only been approved by the market in large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai and cannot be market-wide. County and township markets accepted. In this regard, Fan Yu Xiao gave the answer - the price is too high, a set of 3 kilograms of a foreign brand waterborne paint prices as high as 400 yuan, consumers find it difficult to accept.
Zhu Ke, an engineer at Shandong Jinan Coating Research Institute, pointed out in his analysis: “The current high price of waterborne coatings is due to the fact that the core technologies are in the hands of foreign large paint groups. They do not sell technology and only sell products. Like the recent Shandong Pentium Paint Industry. Co., Ltd. cooperated with a water-based coating research and development organization in Germany to develop and produce water-based polyester coatings. As a result, the organization only sold resins to Pentium, which closed the production technology."
Wang Mouqiang, general manager of Zibo Duga Chemical Co., Ltd., also stated: “The key point of waterborne coating technology is resin. To achieve stable and large-scale production, we need to do a lot of formulation research and construction with leading resin suppliers, such as Dow Chemical. Process improvement,†he said at the same time: “Because of the need to import resin, waterborne paint prices are 20% higher than oil paints for the same performance.â€
In this regard, Sun Hongyuan, manager of Shandong Qilu Paint Co., Ltd. suggested: “The market for coating applications is very broad, but the pace of adopting new technologies in each market is not the same. Selectively promoting this water-based coating in some market areas is The general trend."
Yang Yuande, secretary-general of the China Coatings Industry Association, believes that paint companies have undoubtedly developed water-based paints that are of the greatest benefit to the environment. They can also lower the price of foreign water-based paint brands on the market and benefit domestic consumers. However, replacing water-based paints with solvent paints requires not only the transformation of the original paint line, but also a great difference in the production process. Paint companies should step by step in this regard, and they should not be in a hurry to avoid becoming immature water-based paints. The flow of paint products to the market has affected the development and operation of the entire water-based paint industry.
Fortunately, the effectiveness of the environmental protection technology of the national paint companies is constantly emerging. For example, Shandong Pentium Paint Co., Ltd. independently researched and developed self-crosslinking acrylic water-based paint at room temperature, and passed the results appraisal organized by the Science and Technology Department of Shandong Province. “Evaluation experts agree that this product is a leading research and development achievement in China, narrowing the performance gap between oil paints and greatly expanding its application areas,†said company manager assistant Meng Tengfei. As the core technology is gradually overcome, the domestic waterborne coating market will gain important support for large-scale application.
