Paint raw materials industry began environmental reshuffle

The industry shuffled and thoroughly washed from the end to the end. Not only China's paint industry, in fact, from the beginning of the paint raw material industry, to the downstream furniture industry, real estate, etc., are proceeding from the environmental protection to the environmental reshuffle pace.

According to statistics, in 2014, the domestic titanium dioxide production capacity was approximately 3.3 million tons (a year-on-year increase of 10%), and the output was 2.435 million tons (a year-on-year increase of 13%). The titanium dioxide industry in China has now undergone a three-year reshuffle. At present, the Ministry of Environmental Protection is formulating a titanium dioxide industrial pollutant prevention and control technology policy. The National Development and Reform Commission is working on the energy consumption standards for the titanium dioxide industry. The titanium dioxide is under discussion and formulation. Industry regulatory conditions are also expected to be introduced as soon as possible. These new industry regulations and policies will accelerate the pace of integration of the titanium dioxide industry. At the same time, large enterprises in the industry have already started to advance their efforts to strengthen clean production and pollution prevention and achieved outstanding results.

The promulgation of these policies has restricted the progress of many small and medium-sized titanium white enterprises, and has, to a certain extent, changed the disorderly chaos that previously occurred, and will increase the entry threshold for titanium dioxide enterprises, further catalyze the withdrawal of small-capacity production, and promote Industry consolidation and concentration increase. Global Coatings Network understands that the biggest drawback of the TiO2 process is the large amount of “three wastes” and high processing costs, which companies regard as a heavy “burden”. Bi Sheng, director of the National Titanium Divider Center for Chemical Productivity Promotion Center, stated that “it will be a passive initiative to develop a market-oriented industrial chain, which is the basis for the long-term healthy development of titanium dioxide enterprises.”

This is a very good phenomenon. At least for the paint industry this is the case.

The reporter learned that the titanium dioxide industrial pollution prevention and control technology policy is being formulated and proposes adopting a batch of cleaner production technologies to replace the traditional ** production process. At present, many companies in the industry have begun to promote the application of new technologies and new technologies. The technological innovation of raw material companies for coatings has led paint companies to have more choices in the selection of raw materials. Of course, the cost will also have a relative impact.

Not only is the paint raw material industry working on technological innovations, but the paint industry is also doing this series of work. For this issue, Yip Yeh, member of the executive committee of Yip's Chemical Group and president of Bauhinia Paints Group, believes that in the procurement of raw materials, Controlling prices in order to gain the interests of enterprises is an incorrect strategy. “What we need is to do what our customers want, such as the product I made, and I can tell my customers very clearly that I added something to do this because these cost prices They are all here, and the effects are also visible, so in this respect, in the coatings industry, we can do without the price war. In fact, as a semi-finished product, paint is a very small aspect, for example, you are How much is your wood more expensive than paint? How do you paint the interior walls? How much more expensive do you buy this house than the paint on the wall? So I believe that as long as these are fully explained, the customer is very willing to serve you. These costs come at a cost.

Chinese people often say that Liang Liang is not playing down. As the upstream industry of the paint industry, the titanium dioxide industry is heavily defensive in environmental protection. To a large extent, from top to bottom, the “one-stop” catalytic coating industry is more orderly, scientific, and environmentally friendly. development of.
