Barriers to the Promotion of Waterborne Coatings

In fact, in recent years, consumers' awareness of environmental protection has been significantly improved, and words such as "green environmental protection" and "low carbon life" have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. 

And paint companies seem to have noticed the change in market demand, and they have transformed into the road of "oil to water". According to the incomplete statistics of the Paint Association, there are no less than 300 companies in 

traditional paint and paint brands that have undergone transformation and upgrading, research and development and production of water paint, vigorously Develop green environmental protection coatings and take the green route. 

According to the survey, water-based paint has replaced solvent paint, which can reduce the emission of organic compounds (VOC) by more than 70% during the spraying process, and the environmental protection effect is extremely significant. However, due to the immaturity of water-based paint products and coating processes at this stage, coupled with high production costs and limitations in physical and chemical properties of water-based paints, it is 

difficult to promote water-based paints. Taking the furniture industry as an example, water-based paint only accounts for 7%-8% in the furniture field, while solvent-based paint still dominates the furniture field.

It seems that paint companies still have a long way to go when they take the road of "replacing oil 

to water". But with the development of society and the advancement of science and 

technology, water-based paint will definitely be popularized and developed.
