A comprehensive interpretation of the paint industry environmental policies and standards

      According to published data, haze pollution in the country is grim, ozone pollution can not be optimistic. Although the country has made great efforts to control PM2.5, in 2016 only 24.9% of the cities reached the standard and 254 cities exceeded the standard. 338 heavy pollution in cities 2464 days, the state developed a target of action plan for air pollution prevention and control, of which, Beijing PM2.5 in 2017 to reach 60ug / m3; by 2020, good air quality rate of〉 80% , PM2.5 decreased by 18% over 2015; the number of severe pollution days decreased by 25%.

With the continuous development of the national economy, the state has set higher demands on the quality of the environment. The overall requirements of the national "13th Five-Year Plan" for VOCs Pollution Prevention and Control show that the prevention and control of VOCs should focus on improving the ambient air quality, focusing on key areas and key industries as the main control targets, and reducing the reactivity of VOCs Promote VOCs and NOx synergistic emission reduction, strengthen new pollutant emission control, and implement fixed pollutant discharge permit management. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, key industries such as chemical industry, packaging and printing, and industrial coating industries will implement the "key projects and peak-shifting production" strategies to control key pollutants. According to the industrial coating / printing VOCs pollution prevention and control requirements, paint, ink, adhesives, dyes, chemical additives and other chemical industries to increase VOCs control efforts, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, coking, paint, ink, adhesives, dyes and other industries should Gradually carry out LDAR work. Requirements until the end of 2019, paint manufacturers VOCs governance reached 2000, ink manufacturers 340, adhesive manufacturers 1500; by the end of 2020, dye production of VOCs treatment to achieve 300.

In addition, Guangdong Province is required to increase the emission reduction of the key active components of VOCs such as aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes and ketones. The coatings industry should focus on the promotion of water-based coatings, powder coatings, high-solid coating materials, radiation curing Paint and other green products; Jiangsu Province requires the full use of low VOCs content of water-based paint, adhesive in the containers, vehicles, machinery and equipment, wood-based panels, furniture, shipbuilding and other industries by the end of 2017; The total amount of VOCs emission in the whole province dropped by more than 20% compared with that in 2015, and the emission of key VOCs was more than 255,000 tons. In Shanghai, it is required that by 2020, the production points of solvent-based paint and ink should be halved than the total amount in 2015.
