The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a document requiring low (no) VOC coating products to reach 60% in 2018

On July 8, 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the “Notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Printing and Distributing the Volatile Organic Compounds Reduction Action Plan for Key Industries” (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Lianjie [2016] No.
217), announcing it as Carry out "Made in China 2025" (Guo Fa [2015] No.
28) and "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan" (Guo Fa [2013] No.
37), accelerate the implementation of green manufacturing project implementation guidelines, and promote the promotion of volatile organic compounds in key industries The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has organized and compiled the Action Plan for the Reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds in Key Industries.
The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps industry and informatization department, the finance department (bureau), and relevant industry associations issued the issue.
The planned implementation period is 2016-2018
.


According to the Waterborne Technology Application Committee of the China Chemical Industry Society, according to the main target set by the "Plan", the proportion of low (no) VOC coating products will reach 60% by 2018!

The "Plan" pointed out that industry is a key area of ​​VOC emissions, and emissions account for more than 50% of total emissions.
Industrial emissions sources are complex, mainly involving production, use, storage, and transportation, among which: petroleum refining and petrochemicals VOC emissions from industries such as coatings, inks, adhesives, pesticides, automobiles, packaging and printing, rubber products, synthetic leather, furniture, and shoemaking account for more than 80% of total industrial emissions
.
VOC emissions in the industrial sector are characterized by high intensity, high concentration, and various types of pollutants, and the difficulty of recycling and reuse and high costs are the focus of VOC reduction in the industrial sector
.


At present, the situation of air pollution prevention and control is severe.
Accelerating the reduction of VOC in key industries is of great significance to promoting the green development of industries, improving the quality of the air environment, and ensuring human health
.


  To this end, the "Plan" puts forward the idea of ​​taking technological progress as the main line, insisting on source reduction and process control as the focus, taking into account the whole-process prevention concept of end governance, giving full play to the role of the main body of the enterprise, strengthening policy support and guidance, and promoting the implementation of raw material substitution.
And clean production technology transformation, improve the level of clean production, and promote the green transformation and upgrading of the industry
.


  The main goal of the "Plan" is: to reduce the VOC emissions of the industrial sector by more than 3.
3 million tons by 2018 compared with 2015, and to reduce the use of solvents and additives such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and dimethylformamide (DMF) Above 20%, the proportion of green pesticide preparations, coatings, inks, adhesives and tires with low (no) VOC reached 70%, 60%, 70%, 85% and 40% respectively
.


  The main task of the coating industry is to focus on promoting green coating products such as water-based coatings, powder coatings, high-solid coatings, solvent-free coatings, and radiation curing coatings (UV coatings)
.


  The "Plan" pointed out that technological transformation projects should be implemented.
In the furniture industry, wood furniture manufacturers promote the application of water-based paints with low VOC content, encourage "oil-to-water" technology and equipment transformation; upholstered furniture companies promote the application of water-based adhesives
.
In the automotive industry, the coating process promotes water-based coatings and high-solid coatings to replace solvent-based coatings, and promotes electrostatic spraying, curtain coating, roller coating, dip coating and other high-efficiency coating processes and advanced intelligent coating equipment
.


  In addition, the "Plan" also proposes to implement recycling and comprehensive treatment projects, encourage enterprises to implement production process sealing, continuity, and automatic technical transformation, establish a closed negative pressure exhaust gas collection system, and run it synchronously with the production process
.
It adopts closed operation and is equipped with an efficient solvent recovery and waste gas degradation system
.
According to the VOC emission concentration and composition of different industries, select catalytic combustion, regenerative combustion, adsorption, biological method, condensation collection and purification, electronic incineration, ozone oxidation deodorization, plasma treatment, photocatalysis and other treatment technologies that are highly targeted and have obvious treatment effects Treatment and disposal of VOC-containing waste gas
.


  In order to ensure the smooth realization of the goals set out in the "Plan", the "Plan" also proposes to increase policy guidance and support.
The industrial and information authorities at all levels should make full use of special construction funds, green credit and other funding channels to support industrial enterprises.
Implement VOC reduction technological transformation, and give priority to support for qualified VOC reduction technological transformation projects
.
Relevant local financial departments can include VOC reduction technological transformation projects in key industries that meet the regulations into the scope of special funding support for the central air pollution prevention and control program
.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also organize the formulation of evaluation standards for green design products related to VOC reduction in key industries, carry out evaluation of green design products, publish a list of green design products, and promote the green development of the industry
.
Strengthen standard publicity, establish design demonstration enterprises, and lead enterprises to continuously improve the level of cleaner production technology
