Water-based paint industry “has bright prospects and road twists and turns”

In China, waterborne coatings have been around for more than 10 years. However, there has been no major breakthrough in its development, sales, and technology. However, the future of the water-based paint market is bright, but the development path is tortuous.

With people's increasing emphasis on health and awareness of environmental protection. Waterborne coatings naturally become the mainstream, and waterborne coatings will usher in a leap-forward development. However, the development of waterborne coatings has been restricted by three major aspects:

The first is: China's oil paint is relatively mature, its operability is relatively good, furniture factory production efficiency is high and unwilling to replace the operating conditions are relatively harsh, the cost is relatively high, most of the physical properties are not as good as the oil paint waterborne paint.

The second is that some people think that whether it is furniture or wood products such as cabinets at home, after painting the paint, they all think that they have been intact for at least 10 years and 8 years, and they are all traditional eyes. They require very high gloss, which directly leads to waterborne Paint distorts the development of the situation.

The third is: At present, China has not introduced and based on the actual situation will not be possible in the near future introduced a comprehensive policy prohibiting the use of oil paints.

Fourth, many people think that all non-environmental matters are contaminated in furniture factories. The impact is not so great.

Fifth, the high price of waterborne coatings is several times the price of solvent-based coatings.

The "2010-2013 China Waterborne Coatings & Ink Market Survey Report" shows that: To study the development of a new industry, we should analyze it from the entire industry chain. If only staring at one of the disadvantages of water-based paint, the result can only be the place and the blame. We must analyze where the driving force for the initial development of new industries is, where the driving force for rapid development is, and what are the conditions for rapid development. At present, water-based paints have had preliminary development in various fields. This shows that the market or users have such needs, which also represents the future direction of development. However, it is necessary to pay attention to a large-scale industrial chain to go in this direction, we must understand that the entire industry chain must benefit from the lack of any one link will not work. At this point, waterborne coatings have not yet been reached. This requires us to use more wisdom to solve this problem. To solve this problem, this industry has the conditions for development. If 10 to 20% of the paint manufacturers are equipped with water-based paint R&D technology, the country should find ways to introduce policies to promote the rapid development of the entire market. By that time, maybe the spring of water paint development is really coming!
