Successfully developed PU resin without VOC tax

On November 21, the editor-in-chief of China Paint News Zhou Changfeng just published "Furniture paint is no longer a ban on private coating companies".
On November 30, Covestro and DSM launched PU furniture lacquer resin with high solidity and low VOC.
To prove that furniture paint is no longer a ban on private paint companies
.



In the field of furniture paint, the wolf is really here
.



During the 2016 China (Guangzhou) International Coatings Show, Covestro and DSM jointly launched an innovative solution for wood paint-a high-solid, low-VOC coating system is the wolf that broke into furniture paint
.



This environmentally friendly wood coating solution can effectively reduce VOC emissions by nearly 40%, and meet the national VCO limit standard of 420g/L.
That is to say, with this solution, there is no need to pay taxes and fees due to excessive VOC, and there is no need to adjust spraying Without changing the original construction habits, it can also improve the spraying efficiency, and achieve the same coating thickness can save 40% of the coating volume, bringing environmentally friendly and economical coating solutions to the furniture industry
.



Zhou Changfeng, editor-in-chief of China Paint News, believes that this high-solid, low-VOC wood coating solution looks a bit similar to the perfect upgraded version of pure PU.
While providing more environmentally friendly coating options for furniture factories, it will Will become a strong competitor of the oil-to-water program
.



The high-solid, low-VOC wood coating solution is based on Covestro's polyurethane crosslinker DesmodurILV170 and DSM Uralac1801/2 resin
.



"The research and development of high-solid coating technology puts forward high professional requirements for crosslinking agents and resin products
.



Covestro’s Desmodur®ILV170 patented resin product has a solid content of approximately 70% and is used in existing formulations and high-solid resins.
The new formula can greatly reduce VOC emissions while maintaining excellent product performance.

Desmodur®ILV170 is a patented product
.
Covestro’s laboratory test results show that Desmodur® ILV170 exhibits excellent properties such as high transparency, good film formation, low number of coatings, and quick drying
.
Whether from the perspective of appearance or production efficiency, this product provides new choices for coating customers to develop differentiated products
.



The product can be used to formulate primer or topcoat, color paint or varnish, high gloss or matte effect
.



Another key element of high solids, low VOC coating solutions is resin products
.
The newly developed Uralac1801 and Uralac1802 patented polymerization technologies, combined with DesmodurILV170, can achieve low VOC emissions of about 410g/L
.
Different from traditional high-solid resins, Uralac1801 and Uralac1802 have fast curing speed and the drying speed is equivalent to the existing medium-solid resins
.
Uralac1801 can be used for high-gloss effects, and Uralac1802 can be used for matte finishes
.
Another advantage of this product is that it has high filming properties at one time
.
It can achieve the same film thickness as the existing coating system with fewer coatings and improve spraying efficiency
.



"This unique cooperation has brought about an innovative breakthrough in environmentally friendly solvent wood coatings
.
Jointly developing products with coating raw material suppliers and downstream application companies can promote VOC emissions more efficiently and make China's coatings industry more green and environmentally friendly
.
We are very I am honored to be able to contribute to the sustainable development of China's coatings industry and will continue to support this cause," said Mr.
Pei Zhonghua, Regional Director of Specialty Coatings for the Asia Pacific Region of DSM Coating Resins

Comment:


This time the furniture paint industry is going to be turbulent
.
The turmoil will start in the subdivision of resin and spread to finished furniture paint companies
.



Furniture paint companies do not want to weaken their competitiveness, so they can only allow the supply of resin and other raw materials to be controlled by foreign companies once again
.
Until the domestic raw material enterprises can produce alternative similar products
.



Under the circumstances of economic downturn, high taxes and slow growth, this PU furniture paint solution that does not have to pay VOC tax will definitely be preferred by a large number of furniture factories and become a strong competitor for the new furniture paint hegemon
