Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are the hottest places

Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will promote the deep treatment of industrial pollution, and the reshuffle of the adhesive industry is imminent.

on September 15, the autumn and winter air pollution control attack in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and its surrounding areas should officially start with the oil firm action patrol according to the requirements of the instructions. This marks the beginning of the most stringent industrial in-depth governance. In addition to the relevant policies previously issued, the traditional industries represented by solvent based adhesives, which do not record impressive data but are widely used, may face extinction due to environmental issues

according to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of environmental protection, in order to comprehensively promote atmospheric governance, the patrol will closely supervise the implementation of policies and regulations in various industries, among which the reduction of volatile organic compounds is the focus of the patrol. On September 1, the "standard for volatile organic compounds content limit of architectural coatings and adhesives" jointly launched by Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei began to be implemented. Paint and solvent based adhesives are the key targets, which is also the current rectification standard of the adhesive industry

it is reported that Beijing plans to completely eliminate more than 500 enterprises such as organic solvent based paint production, wood-based panel production and furniture production using paint by October in this autumn and winter air pollution control action. As a mandatory standard, the standard for the content limit of volatile organic compounds in architectural coatings and adhesives will provide policy support for the tough action

"solvent based adhesives may be a product that people don't care much about, but its harm is no less than paint", the person in charge of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau said that solvent based adhesives are widely used in furniture production, food packaging, construction, electronics, automobiles, machinery and other fields. They contain formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances, which directly affect human health. For example, after decoration, indoor formaldehyde, which is easy to induce leukemia, exceeds the standard, which is caused by the use of solvent based adhesives

in addition, VOCs emissions during the production of solvent adhesives are high, which will cause air pollution. Moreover, its trace solvent is very easy to remain in the substrate. For example, when food enterprises use solvent based adhesives for food packaging, it may cause product odor and potential food safety problems

it is understood that at present, environmental friendly adhesives have accounted for a considerable proportion in the European and American markets, while in China, solvent adhesives still occupy the main position, with a market share of more than 80%. The insufficient development level of the industry, the insufficient awareness of public hazards and the insufficient strength of relevant policies are all important reasons for this phenomenon

with the advance of the air governance campaign, a large number of furniture production and industrial coating enterprises in Beijing will stop production or relocate, and the use of paint and solvent based adhesives will be effectively reduced. At the same time, the speed of "changing oil to water, its structural performance fully meets the requirements of experimental specifications" in the coating industry has been accelerated, and water paint products have made great strides forward, which has also reduced the number of products using solvent based adhesives

there is no doubt that under the influence of industrial upgrading and market guidance, the living space of solvent-based adhesives will be further compressed. 127 elastic sealant for insulating glass will shrink, and environment-friendly products such as water-based adhesives and solvent-free adhesives will be effectively promoted and eventually replaced
