Paint plays an important role in the national economy and is indispensable to modern society. However, there are 10 million tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are emitted into the atmosphere from the coating every year. This is one of the major sources of atmospheric pollution. Therefore, the environmental protection function of coatings has attracted more and more attention.

As early as September 2013, the State Council issued the “Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution”, which has made relevant introductions to the major directions of the future development of the paint industry in China. At the same time, it also regulates how the paint companies will adjust their environmental protection policies in the future. Related introduction.

According to understanding: 2014 will be a key year for the implementation of the national environmental protection policy. This will have a great impact on China's solvent-based paint companies and titanium dioxide companies. In the current development process of China's coating industry, it is still based on solvent-based coatings. In the next 3 to 5 years, when the solvent-based paint market shrinks drastically, solvent-based paint manufacturers want to survive, they must combine the actual development of the industry and the quality of the environment, and have a small distribution, low-level equipment, and poor environmental protection facilities. Paint manufacturers conduct comprehensive investigations, formulate comprehensive rectification plans, and further improve standards such as environmental protection and quality.

Now with the continuous increase in environmental pressure, China's paint industry will undergo a round of reshuffle, solvent-based paint companies will gradually withdraw from the stage of paint, water-based paint companies will become the industry-led.
