In the future, how will “oil to water” affect the home market?

2017 is a crucial year for the development of the environmental protection industry, and people's awareness of environmental protection has been generally improved.

For the home furnishing industry, what impact will the future have on the background of the “oil to water” policy in various regions?

The furniture industry "oil to water" is of great significance

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions are one of the important sources of PM2.5. Data shows that 18% of volatile organic compounds are produced by conventional solvent-based paint emissions. The VOC emissions of waterborne wood lacquers account for only about one-tenth of the oil paint emissions.

Because water-based paints are more stringent in terms of technology and production processes, and the cost is higher, the current penetration rate of water-based paints in China is relatively low.

According to industry professionals, in the 1940s, foreign waterborne coating technology gradually developed and matured, and it was applied to woodware. In 1980, waterborne coatings were officially commercialized in Denmark. In China, the industrialization of waterborne wood lacquer has been difficult. From the rise of water-based wood coatings to the present, the well-known paint companies that have been involved in the country are difficult to become large.

For today's furniture industry, because water-based paints have different effects on different furniture, it is necessary to continuously experiment and test, so as to adjust to the best gloss, the most fundamental problem enterprises must also transform and introduce production lines.

Whether the "oil to water" situation is thus opened

For production furniture companies, the cost of using water-based paint is 30% higher than that of traditional oil paints, and even up to 50%. According to coating experts, “the high cost of water-based wood lacquers, high brushing requirements, and difficult transformation of production lines are the main reasons why most furniture companies are reluctant to change water-based wood lacquers.”

According to relevant data, less than 15% of furniture manufacturers in the industry currently use water-based paints. At present, at least half of the more than 1,000 furniture manufacturing enterprises in Beijing are still using oil-based paints. The full replacement of water-based paints will increase the production costs of enterprises to a certain extent.

It is reported that the relevant departments have included this type of technological transformation into the scope of technical reform bonus support. The implementation of this new standard is both a major test for the coatings industry and a rare opportunity. It is understood that there are not many paint companies that are also used as water-based paints on the market. However, due to the limitation of market demand, there are not many large-scale application of wood products.

Then, under the policy drive, the market demand for water-based paint is bound to increase significantly. Is the situation of water-based paint replacing oil paint open?

"Oil to water" enterprises digest cost into a problem

Wood lacquer is used for wood products such as solid wood panels, wood grain panels, rubber wood panels, fiberboards, etc. According to the product type, it can be divided into water-based paints and oil-based paints. As a wood lacquer belonging to the industrial coating category, industrial coatings can be divided into water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings and powder coatings. Solvent-based coatings still occupy the leading position in the global industrial coatings technology, and the proportion reaches more than 75% of the total.

It is predicted that with Beijing as a pilot, under the policy drive, the era of water-based paint has arrived. In the next few years, oil paint will completely withdraw from the market, replaced by water as a thinner, without organic solvents, with low-carbon energy-saving, non-combustible, non-explosive, ultra-low-emission water-based paint. At present, not only in China, other countries have introduced relevant laws and regulations on reducing VOC emissions, among which water-based paints play an important role.

Furniture manufacturers "oil to water", how to digest the increased costs, has become an important issue for enterprises. The cost of upgrading is mainly reflected in the recycling of water-based coatings in the spraying process. Large enterprises can basically solve the problem by purchasing funds for spraying, and small enterprises are relatively laborious.

Water-based paints have long been considered to be inferior to paint in terms of high temperature resistance and hardness. However, coating experts said that this is not unsolvable. Appropriate increase in cost on a similar Dining Table panel is enough to make up for the lack of heat resistance of water-based paint. After all, there is no such problem in wardrobes and wooden beds, and the cost should be treated differently.

Future impact on the consumer market

What impact will the furniture manufacturing enterprise have on the consumer market after implementing “oil to water”?

For consumers, it is good news for furniture companies to reduce or prohibit the use of oil-based paints that are harmful to health. After “oil to water”, the environmental quality of furniture products themselves will be greatly improved. With the continuous improvement of people's quality of life requirements, furniture products using water-based paints are bound to be recognized by more and more consumers.
