"Closing storms" swept across the paint industry

The issue of obsolete production capacity that has been hotly debated has finally come to an end in the last month of 2010. In December, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released its No. 122 announcement on its official website - "Guidelines for the elimination of backward production processes, equipment, and products in 2010 for some industrial sectors."

According to the backward production list, there will be 19 types of paint products that will be eliminated, and the “elimination storm” will be engulfed by the backward production capacity of the paint industry. The industry generally believes that with the government's macro regulation and control of the industrial sector, especially the strict control of environmental protection policies for energy conservation and emission reduction, the introduction of the New Deal will once again accelerate the paint industry's reshuffle, but also the "structural adjustment" of the main performance. Of course, when the policy is introduced, the first thing to be solved is how to implement it effectively.

According to the labeling of Announcement No. 122, it was found that the coatings involved include interior and exterior wall coatings, waterproof coatings, automotive paints, marine paints and many other fields, including polyvinyl alcohol and its acetal interior and exterior wall coatings 106, 107 coatings, etc. The content of harmful substances exceeds the internal wall paint of the "GB18582" standard in the "Restriction of Harmful Substances in Interior Decorating Materials for Interior Decoration Materials", and the colorful inner wall paint resin is mainly composed of *****, and the solvent is mainly xylene based O/W type. The content of paints and harmful substances exceeds the content of “Hazardous Substances in Indoor Decorating Materials Solvent-based Wood Coatings” (GB18581), solvent-based wood coatings, vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride copolymer emulsions, exterior paints, polyvinyl acetate emulsions, and ethylene/vinyl acetate. Ester Emulsion Emulsion Exterior Wall Coatings, Exceeding Hazardous Substance Contents, Exterior Wall Coatings, Tar-Type Polyurethane Waterproof Coatings, Waterborne PVC Tar-Waterproof Coatings, Modified Starch Coatings, Containing Machines Antifouling coatings for tin, coatings containing tributyltin, red lead, coatings containing ***, triglycidyl isocyanurate TGIC Contents of powder paint, harmful substances exceeding "Standard for harmful substances in toys and paints" Toy paints, automotive paints containing harmful substances in excess of the "Hazardous Substances in Automotive Coatings" standard, benzene, phenol, benzaldehyde, and * Paint remover, PVC building waterproof joint material tar type.

The rapid growth and development of China's real estate, automobiles, ships, bridges, and wind power and new energy construction industries have provided the paint industry with a huge living space and profit margins. The paint industry in China has developed rapidly, but the barriers to entry are too low. Driven by interests, a number of small workshops, small businesses, and a large number of companies have entered the paint industry. Among them, the products they produce are inferior to shoddy and fake. These behaviors have affected the image and development of the industry. It is undoubtedly a harm to companies that value technology and brands.

This is why in recent years, China's coating output has reached new heights, but it has always been the reason for the "great power" of paints, rather than the embarrassing status of paint "powerful nations." To this end, in 2010, the industry has attracted the "Innovation, Harmony, Responsibility, and Influence" paint summit forum, trying hard to eliminate backward production capacity, and to achieve a "big to strong" gorgeous turn to become the honored guests Hot topics. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "Guided Catalogue on the Elimination of Obsolete Production Process Equipment and Products", showing that the country's determination to suppress backward production capacity is also in line with the demand for the healthy development of the paint industry and has gained widespread recognition.

The elimination of outdated production capacity, improvement of product structure, improvement of product quality, and increase of corporate profits are an important criterion that the industry has followed. The paint products and paint production lines that are required to be eliminated in the Catalogue are a serious waste of resources and energy. Only by phasing out this part of backward production capacity can we optimize the industrial structure, increase the level of technological equipment and industrial competitiveness, thereby alleviating the contradiction of overcapacity and ensuring the balance between supply and demand. Promote the healthy development of the industry. The elimination of backward production capacity is also a trend in the future and an inevitable result of market planning.
