Jiangsu furniture manufacturing pollution emission standards have been drafted: priority to change to water-based paint or UV paint

volatile organic matter released in the production process of
volatile organic matter in the furniture industry is one of the sources of atmospheric pollutants. It is reported that Jiangsu Province currently has more than 7,000 furniture enterprises, the number of employees reached more than 600,000 people, in the traditional manufacturing industry ranked third, second only to textile and garment manufacturing and footwear industry. Reporters learned that, according to estimates, Jiangsu Province furniture manufacturing industry annual volatile organic emissions of about 15,000 tons, accounting for about 2.3% of the total annual emissions of volatile organic matter in Jiangsu Province, ranked ninth.
according to the provincial environmental protection department research, furniture in the coating process produced volatile organic matter is the main source of pollution. Among them, the solvents and accessories in
coatings
are the main sources of volatile organic compounds, the main volatile organic compounds produced are: benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, phenols, paint mist and other volatile organic matter.Furniture production turned to environmental protection "water-based paint
Jiangsu environmental protection experts found that, in addition to the coating process is the source of volatile organic matter, coatings and organic solvent storage, transportation, coating deployment process will also produce a large number of volatile organic matter. Volatile organic matter is not fully collected even in enterprises with exhaust gas collection devices installed.
is an important solution to reduce the emission of volatile organic matter. According to industry insiders, developed countries generally use low volatile organic matter content coatings instead of solvent-based coatings, from the source to control the furniture manufacturing industry volatile organic emissions. As a coating with low volatile organic matter content, water-based paint has obvious advantages over solvent-based coatings. Therefore, in this jiangsu local standards, the environmental protection department requires furniture manufacturers to give priority to water-based paint or
UV paint
.
, however, Jiangsu furniture manufacturing enterprises oil-based coatings use of about 715,000 tons / year, of which
water-based coatings
use of about 238,000 tons / year. On the one hand, it will take some time for water-colored paint products to be accepted by consumers. On the other hand, some production enterprises think that water-like paint in the color is not up to standard, hardness is not enough, and some enterprises worry about the cost of transforming the production line is too high.The history of the most stringent furniture production pollution control standards
according to the provisions, as long as there are emission units have to install exhaust gas treatment facilities and maintain normal operation, and related personnel in the inspection found that many enterprises in order to save money, do not install exhaust gas treatment facilities. In furniture manufacturing enterprises, even installed exhaust gas treatment facilities must be regularly cleaned to ensure their normal operation, but the inspection found that many enterprises are not normal cleaning facilities, some often without power.
it is understood that the state has not yet promulgated the furniture manufacturing industry volatile organic pollution control standards, this time known as the "most stringent in history" in Jiangsu local standards, to adopt the time limit.
In fact, from last year's air pollutants in Nanjing, ozone has replaced PM2.5 as the largest pollutant in the air, and volatile organic matter is precisely the "raw material" of ozone, because volatile organic pollutants and only from industrial exhaust gases, involving various industries, reporters learned that the emission limits for each major industry "Jiangsu standard" is also being developed.
