Recently, in order to implement the national policy of "replacing oil with water", Xuzhou, Shenyang and other places have gradually deepened the air pollution prevention and control work of enterprises in paint production sections. In the year of the end of the "Ten Atmospheres" campaign, not only coating companies, but also a series of upstream and downstream industries related to the coating industry are almost simultaneously accelerating the promotion of "oil to water".
In September, at the on-site meeting on the promotion and application of water paint held in Fengxian County, Xuzhou City, the environmental protection department required paint companies to start technological upgrading and transformation in October, and complete the "oil to water" transformation before the end of the year. If companies use paint after the year, it is an environmental illegal act, and relevant responsible persons will be held accountable for illegal activities. According to a reporter's investigation, the dense coating and painting enterprises in Fengxian are currently accelerating their transformation.
At the same time, the Shenyang Blue Sky Action Leading Group Office also issued the "Shenyang 2017 Anti Haze Campaign Plan". Among them, for decoration and renovation projects, environmental protection clauses will be added to newly signed contracts starting from October, requiring the use of water-based coatings and adhesives, and indoor air testing to meet standards. According to the plan, it is necessary to complete the centralized remediation of VOCs pollution in construction projects, decoration and decoration, and building materials stores by the end of October.
With the arrival of the "haze" season in autumn and winter, various regions are focusing on rectifying and promoting the transformation of the paint industry with high VOCs emissions. Since April of this year, after the closure of a large number of "scattered pollution" coating enterprises, the focus of VOCs emission reduction has shifted to larger coating enterprises and upstream and downstream related enterprises.
This time, Fengxian is focusing on the "oil to water" conversion of major paint companies, starting from the consumer side and targeting the painting market. By significantly promoting the application of water paint and reducing the paint market, it aims to stimulate the passive transformation of paint manufacturers and reduce paint production.
