Waterborne paint has struck or ended paint

In 2013, environmental protection became a major concern for the public, and the government introduced the "Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution," commonly known as the toughest pollution control measures in history. This plan set clear guidelines for various polluting industries, including the paint industry, which is a significant source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The plan emphasized the promotion of water-based paints, signaling a shift toward more environmentally friendly options. Industry experts believe that traditional solvent-based paints, which are toxic, flammable, and hazardous, no longer meet current environmental standards. As a result, the paint industry is moving toward a new era dominated by water-based paints—eco-friendly, safe, and healthier for both workers and consumers. The environmental impact of paint has been a growing concern. VOCs, which contribute to the formation of PM2.5, are largely emitted from paint. According to Zhao Xiaodong, deputy director of the National Coatings Engineering Technology Research Center, these emissions have led to stricter regulations on paint usage. Paints often contain harmful substances such as benzene, esters, and aldehydes, which can cause serious health issues, including respiratory problems, dizziness, and even cancer. Moreover, the production and application of paint involve the use of large amounts of organic solvents, many of which evaporate during the process, leading to waste and pollution. These materials are also flammable, posing significant safety risks during storage and transportation. Water-based paints offer several advantages over traditional paints. They use water as their primary medium, making them non-toxic and non-flammable. This makes them safer for both the environment and human health. Additionally, they reduce occupational hazards for painters, who are often exposed to harmful fumes. Chenyang Group’s Chief Engineer, Chen Ming, highlights the environmental benefits of water-based paints with concrete data. For example, producing 125,000 tons of water-based paint annually saves 100,000 tons of solvents, equivalent to saving 200,000 tons of oil and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 715,000 tons. These figures demonstrate the strong potential for growth in the water-based paint market. Globally, water-based paints have already become the standard in many developed countries. In Europe, the use of water-based paints has reached 80-90%, and since 2004, oil-based paints have been banned. In China, while water-based paints still hold a small share in industrial and wood coatings, their growth rate is very high. Recent reports predict that the waterborne industrial coatings market will grow rapidly, reaching a 25% annual increase. Industry leaders agree that the transition from oil-based to water-based paints is inevitable. Companies across the supply chain are preparing for this shift, reinforcing the idea that water-based paints are the future. Although traditional paints once had an edge in performance and application, advancements in technology have significantly improved the quality and durability of water-based paints. Products like those from Chenyang Group now match or exceed traditional paints in terms of gloss, lifespan, and corrosion resistance. Some even outperform them. The future of the water-based paint industry looks promising. Experts believe we are on the verge of a period of rapid growth. As policy support continues to strengthen, more traditional paint companies are shifting their focus to water-based alternatives. Public awareness of water-based paints is also increasing. This is partly due to government policies and the efforts of companies like Chenyang, which have played a key role in promoting the concept. With slogans like “Paint without a mask, morning sun water paint brings peace of mind,” the message is clear: water-based paints are not only better for the environment but also for families. From traditional paints to water-based alternatives, this shift represents technological progress and a necessary transformation for the industry. As environmental pressures continue to rise, the era of water-based paints is here, bringing with it a cleaner, safer, and healthier future.
