Coatings industry - environmental protection into the mainstream

In modern society, with the improvement of people's living standards, in addition to meeting specific material needs, more attention is paid to the quality of life and quality of life. Take this piece of home decoration for example, in addition to beautifully decorated, but also the decoration of the environmental protection and health. More and more paint advertising, not only emphasizes the color, but more is the safety performance after a few days of decoration.

Under such a trend, the traditional solvent-based paint that was originally the bulk of the paint industry lost a large number of countries for a time. Due to the use of banana water as a diluent, it is highly volatile, flammable, explosive, and toxic. Solvent-based paints can easily cause the volatilization of organic matter, which is harmful to the environment and the human body.

In Europe, the use of water-based paints has already been swept away. Water-based paints can be diluted directly with water, and construction tools can also be cleaned with water, making them more environmentally friendly. According to statistics, the use of waterborne paints in Europe has reached 80% to 90%. Since 2007, the European Union has banned the use of oil paints in home decoration.

However, for China, although people have come to realize the importance of environmental protection, the market share of water-based coatings is also rapidly increasing, but there is still some way to go before they want to occupy the mainstream market. First of all, the biggest advantage of waterborne coatings is health and environmental protection, but there are still gaps between domestic products and the European market, followed by the coating effect and the distance from solvent-based coatings.

Since environmental protection will inevitably become the mainstream of the architectural decoration industry in the future, we should increase the use of waterborne coatings and seek breakthroughs in our development.
