Paint companies are once again faced with environmental protection challenges. At present, the “Emission Standards for Air Pollutants in the Paint, Ink and Adhesive Industry” and “Unorganized Emission Control Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds” Two national environmental protection standards are being publicly solicited for opinions from the whole society. The Ministry of Environmental Protection requires relevant enterprises to provide feedback before May 25, 2017.
On May 16, in an interview with a reporter from China Chemical Industry News, the relevant person in charge of the China Coatings Industry Association described the coatings industry’s response to the news as “exploding” Reaction.
The list of comments on the standards for air pollutant emission standards, including the China Coatings Industry Association and other relevant units, as well as 56 coating companies such as Basph Shanghai coatings and Shandong Lehua lacquer industry. . According to the air pollutant emission standards, new enterprises will implement the air pollutant emission limits specified in Table 1 starting from July 1, 2017, and existing enterprises starting from January 1, 2019; enterprises or production facilities in key areas will implement the Special emission limits for air pollutants specified in Table 2.
The preparation of air pollutant emission standards stated: “After the implementation of the standard, the company’s investment accounts for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the annual profit. About 1/10 of the standard. Therefore, enterprises should be able to bear it.” The preparation instructions also analyzed the environmental and social benefits after the implementation of the standard: “From the standard value, after the implementation of the standard, benzene has become 90% more stringent. Above, xylene + toluene has been tightened by more than 70%, and NMHC (non-methane total hydrocarbons) has been tightened by nearly 60%. After the implementation of this standard, the VOC emission reduction rate of coatings, inks and adhesive manufacturers is expected to reach more than 40%. ” ,
“For coating companies, this time I’m afraid it’s really going to be a big reshuffle.” Liu Baosheng, president of the Shandong Society of Chemistry and Chemical Industry, said, “The performance of Yunei coating companies in 2016 After thousands of companies were shut down by the environmental storm in 2016, there were still many paint companies whose products were not environmentally friendly and had not entered the park. They thought they were lucky enough to pass the environmental protection barrier and could continue to survive. However, they did not expect that a new round of environmental protection storm would come so quickly. , so violently. The further improvement of emission standards will undoubtedly make coating companies tighten their environmental protection and emission reduction strings, and urge companies to carry out emission reductions from a technical and management perspective.”
Shen Xiaozhong, Vice Chairman of Shandong Lehua Paint Industry Group, believes that the introduction of air pollutant emission standards is a double-edged sword, but it should be a positive development for the coating industry as a whole. Good thing. This shows that under the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, it is a general trend to eliminate coating companies that have no scale and environmental protection advantages and have been developing in the field of low-end oil paints. The introduction of standards will guide these companies to accelerate their transformation and upgrading. At the same time, the standards will also force them to Manufacturing companies and end consumer users in the coatings industry have the ultimate goal of developing green and environmentally friendly water-based coatings.
There are also coatings companies that are in favor of further tightening of emission standards. Shandong Pentium Paint Industry Co., Ltd., which left the city and entered the park in 2015 and has a 500,000-ton water-based paint production line, is one of them. Gu Shigang, general manager of the company, believes that this is a good thing to promote the long-term development of the coatings industry. If we want to better develop water-based coatings, we must eliminate those coating companies with non-standard production processes and non-environmental protection. It is time for a major reshuffle in the coatings industry. has arrived, and this should be a development opportunity for coatings companies that have reached the standards.
