From March to May, the safety supervision department will conduct safety "physical examinations" on hazardous chemical companies in Hunan Province

In 2018, Hunan Province will build Changsha and Yueyang into demonstration cities for the safe production of hazardous chemicals in the province, and build Yunxi District of Yueyang City and Liuyang City in Changsha into demonstration counties in the province to explore effective ways to comprehensively control hazardous chemicals; determine Liuyang City 10 counties and development zones, including Ningxiang City, Wangcheng District, Hongjiang District, Linxiang City, Yunxi District, Luxi County, Changning City, Hengyang Songmu Economic Development Zone, Changde Mountain Economic and Technological Development Zone, etc.
In key supervision areas for the comprehensive management of chemical product safety, the local government will set up a leading group to formulate a comprehensive management plan for hazardous chemicals.
From March to May, the safety supervision department will conduct safety "physical examinations" on hazardous chemical companies in the province, focusing on rectifying and eliminating a group of companies with poor safety protection capabilities.

In 2018, Hunan Province paid more attention to promoting the implementation of the main responsibility of enterprises.
The safety supervision departments at all levels further strictly assessed the main persons in charge and safety management personnel of hazardous chemical companies, and randomly selected a batch of hazardous chemical companies legal persons and actual controllers every quarter.
To carry out safety production laws and regulations, you should know the knowledge test, and the test results will be announced to the public.
Those who fail the two tests will be listed as key supervision targets.
Once a work death accident occurs in a hazardous chemical company, all production and business operations will be suspended for rectification.

Anhui Province fought to defend the blue sky

On March 5th, the Environmental Protection Department of Anhui Province held a 2018-2019 training meeting on air pollution control and inspection work.
On March 6, the first round of inspection teams rushed to various cities to start work.
The inspection content includes: the implementation of the "Anhui Province Blue Sky Defense War 2018-2020 Implementation Plan" by relevant local governments at all levels and relevant departments, "Anhui Province 2018 Key Tasks for Air Pollution Prevention and Control", and "2018 Air Pollution Prevention and Control Target Responsibility Letter" .
The implementation plan and detailed rules formulated in accordance with local actual conditions, the leadership organization, the division of responsibilities, the implementation of work responsibilities, and the implementation of work measures; supervision and inspection of the implementation of the rectification of issues assigned.
Supervise the implementation of pollution prevention and control measures for air pollution sources such as industrial enterprises.

At the same time, the Environmental Protection Department of Anhui Province also issued the "Letter on Suspending the Environmental Assessment and Approval of New Gas-related Projects in Bozhou, Fuyang, Huainan, and Chizhou", and decided to postpone it for three months from March 13.
The environmental protection department suspends the approval of environmental review and approval for gas-related projects in Bozhou, Fuyang, Huainan, and Chizhou.

Many provinces in Shandong, Hebei and Sichuan issued an emergency document to stop production and limit production, and catalyze the coating enterprises to "strengthen the body"

In the past two years, the central environmental protection inspection work has been carried out in full swing.
Wherever the central environmental protection inspection team goes, it is true and practical, ensuring the implementation of environmental protection inspections.
Although the environmental protection rectification in 2017 has reached an unprecedented situation, there is still a protracted battle to be fought to achieve the goal of "significant reduction in total pollutant emissions and overall improvement in the quality of the ecological environment".
With the "Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Eco-environmental Damage Compensation System Reform Plan" and other heavyweight environmental protection policies officially took effect on January 1, 2018, the country has accelerated the reform of the ecological civilization system and implemented the most stringent The ecological environment protection system is of great significance.
So, in such a severe situation, how will the coatings market change?

1.
The coating industry will be more standardized and orderly

For the coatings industry , environmental supervision is like a round of cleaning.
The waves wash away the sand and clean the lead, which can prompt companies to increase investment in environmental protection and force backward production capacity to withdraw.
In this cleaning, companies whose production processes do not meet environmental protection standards are bound to be difficult to survive.
Driven by the remaining high-quality chemical companies, the chemical market will become more standardized and orderly.
This is also a general trend in the development of the chemical industry.

Second, the price of coating products is bound to rise rationally

Previously, due to overcapacity in the market and some informal polluting companies deliberately lowering prices, the market prices were disrupted, so that many good products were difficult to show, and prices were not raised due to competitiveness and market reasons, resulting in excessive profitability.
Cause funding problems.
However, under the tightening of environmental protection policies, some companies that do not meet the standards will be severely punished.
In addition to affecting the current stock in the market, when the contradiction between supply and demand further intensifies, inflation, rising transportation and rising environmental protection costs will also lead to coatings The overall increase in products.

Third, the advantages of paint brands are becoming increasingly prominent

The structural imbalance of China's coatings industry has become more obvious.
Almost all large brands are monopolized by foreign countries.
Low-end products have overcapacity, while high-end products need a lot of imports.
Chinese paint companies still have room for improvement, and it is urgent to focus on and solve the branding of products.
This is also the only way for Chinese paint companies to break through in the world.

Fourth, the added value of products is more competitive

After the environmental storm, most of the remaining “elephant forces” are left behind.
To stand out from strong competition, companies must work hard on product quality and added value, except for the most common promotional product materials, quality, and functions.
Also pay more attention to the value of the product, because with the development of the times, consumers will become more and more critical, they will not simply pay for the specifications, quality, and brand of your products.

5.
The chemical industry will usher in a wave of technological transformation

In addition to "scattered and polluted" companies, the companies that have fallen under the environmental storm are partly due to their backward technology and can't keep up with the pace of development of the times.
Obvious homogeneity, overcapacity, and many companies lack the spirit of innovation, so it is understandable to be eliminated by the times.
Why do many people like to go abroad for consumption and shopping in recent years and buy foreign brands? This is because there is a certain gap in the quality of domestic products and brand awareness.
Paint companies should also think about it while maintaining "quantity" growth.
In the face of danger, we will strive to expand and strengthen the domestic brand.
