Four factors to promote waterborne wood coatings usher in spring

With the concept of green and environmental protection becoming more and more popular and being practiced by more people today, the appearance of water-based paint may be able to sweep away the haze that had once been brought about by formaldehyde. Waterborne coatings are coatings that use water as a diluent. Different from traditional coatings, organic compounds are used as solvents, and waterborne coatings are more and more influenced by virtues of its non-toxic, environmentally friendly, odorless, minimal volatile matter, high safety without flammability, non-yellowing, non-yellowing, and large brushing area. Market favor. There are two types of water-based paints, civil and industrial, and water-based architectural coatings, waterborne wood coatings and water-based floor coatings. Among these, waterborne wood coatings are the most competitive ones.

However, waterborne wood coatings have been in development for more than a decade since they entered China in 1996. Their market share has been very low, and it is difficult for the well-known coating companies that are the first to be involved in the country to become a climate. According to statistics, the solvent paints in the domestic paint market still occupy a major position. This is mainly due to the fact that solvent-based paints have been developed in China for a long time and their production technologies are relatively mature. They have the advantages of low raw material and construction environment requirements and have formed in the domestic market. A mature industrial chain structure from production to sales to the terminal.

In 2007, China Coating Industry Association held the first waterborne wood coating development seminar in Guangzhou to promote the research, promotion and application of waterborne wood coatings in China. However, there are many companies waiting and watching at the time, but few really want to get involved. This phenomenon was vividly referred to by the painter association as "industry fever and cold market." In May of this year, the 5th Waterborne Wood Coatings Development Symposium held a forum for policy interpretation and technical exchanges for the industry, so that everyone could communicate and discuss issues such as R&D and development. The industry colleagues will welcome the spring of waterborne wood coatings. arrival.

Water-based wood coatings market has become hot and cold, mainly supported by policies, regulations, production technologies, and business participation and market demand.

The continuous improvement of national policies and regulations. Waterborne wood coatings are environmentally friendly products that have been certified by experts and relevant ministries and have been included in the encouraged products by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. At the same time waterborne wood coatings are also listed in the country's key high-tech support. The state also gave relevant policy support. The NDRC promulgated the 2011 edition of the Industry Integration Adjustment Guidance Catalog to encourage water-borne wood coatings to limit solvent-based coatings. In March this year, Beijing Municipality stipulated that sales of solvent-based paints be prohibited in the Third Ring Road. The Environmental Protection Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection grants preferential tax on consumption of waterborne wood coatings, and the country's special support for waterborne wood coating key funds is included in the Clean Production Demonstration Project. With the implementation of the policies, we believe it will accelerate the development of waterborne wood coatings.

The continuous development and maturation of waterborne coating technology. In the 5th Waterborne Wood Coatings Development Seminar, Dr. Zhang Ximeng from Opel Dee Shenzhen Co., Ltd. introduced the research results of their company in recent years. They not only pay attention to the character of the coating itself, but also study how to protect the talent and the paint as a whole. In conclusion, it is how to extend the life of wood after coating. In this regard, they have found that the use of specific solvents to close the easily broken part to maintain the integrity of the wood. They also have gratifying results in preventing fading and controlling moisture. Waterborne wood coatings are not perfect, but continuous technological innovation can make it continue to progress and remain vibrant.

The active participation of the company. Unlike the situation in which companies only waited and watched without action five or six years ago, many companies are now not only involved in waterborne wood coatings, but also are willing to work hard and have a confident attitude. Mr. Zhang Taiping, a good-looking general manager, expressed his opinion after the transition period and the short-term decline of the company: Waterborne wood lacquer can certainly do well, and it made us feel the determination of the company. Mei Tushi organized training in the promotion and application of water-borne wood coatings. Many technicians, dealers, sales managers, and sales personnel attended the training. It is of great significance for companies to carry out such promotional activities to develop a broader market for waterborne wood coatings.

People's increasing interest in healthy and environmentally friendly materials has made us confident in the market for waterborne wood coatings. In addition, the optimistic growth in market demand for the wood coating industry will drive the growth of the waterborne wood coatings market. According to a study released by Freedonia, the market demand for protective coatings and related preservatives for wood products will maintain an annual growth of 2.2%. The gradual recovery of the real estate market is likely to become one of the sources of growth for wood coatings. External home products will also maintain optimistic growth in demand for wood coatings and preservatives.
