Solvent-based coatings into the Shanghai phase-out list

Recently, Shanghai Economic and Credit Commission issued the "Civil List" industry management model to publish the "Guideline for the Production Process, Equipment and Products for Certain Industries in Shanghai." Among them, the entries for new and improved standards are horizontally more stringent in the country, and in some industries involved in the catalog, they also reflect the adjustment model of “complete withdrawal of some industries, phase-out of some industries, and partial restrictions on some industries”.

According to the introduction of former Qinghai, the chief engineer of the Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Commission, the preparation work adopts the “mature batch, launch batch, batch advancement” approach. The first “guidance catalog” selected steel, chemical, nonferrous metals, building materials, and machinery (including Five key adjustment industries in the city, including forging, casting, heat treatment, and electroplating process, involved 255 items of restrictions and eliminations, of which 65 were new or improved standards for the city.

The directory's requirements for restrictions have been upgraded from "limited development" to "limited survival." In contrast to the restricted categories in the National Guidance Catalogue, the requirements are to limit the scale of business development, and the restricted categories listed in this Catalogue may be used to support the implementation of the Municipal Differential Price Scheme, and the implementation of electricity for restricted installations shall be 0.15 yuan per kilowatt-hour. The increase in electricity tariffs will, to a large extent, squeeze the profit margin of relevant companies in the high-energy-carrying industries, and have upgraded to “limit the survival” and will force chemical and other industries to speed up adjustment and reform.

This is the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Commission to further increase the city's industrial restructuring efforts, effectively guide all districts and counties, group companies to eliminate backward production capacity, resolve excess capacity, and to carry out structural adjustment, improve energy efficiency, implementation of differential pricing policy Such as a comprehensive improvement of energy-saving emission reduction effect and made a new measure.

According to the guidance catalogue, the coating industry restriction category includes "general production equipment for solvent-based coatings of 500 tons/year and over (excluding the types of coating and production process of the encouraged products) and "single-line production capacity of less than 3 million square meters." /year (thickness is based on 1.2mm) polymer waterproofing membrane (PVC, TPO) production line (2015)", "single line production capacity is less than 10 million square meters per year (thickness is based on 1.5mm) modified asphalt (Including self-adhesive) waterproofing membrane production line (2015)"; elimination category includes “** method titanium dioxide, lead chrome yellow, powder coating production equipment containing triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC)”, “ Total production facilities for solvent-based paints up to 500 tons/year (Excluding coating types and production processes of encouraged categories), “Secondary heating composite molding production process of polyethylene/polypropylene composite waterproofing membranes,” and “5 million square meters/year or less Modified bitumen waterproofing membrane production line; 5 million square meters / year below asphalt composite tire flexible waterproofing membrane production line "and so on.

The implementation of the catalogue will further optimize the structure of the paint industry, while compressing the living space of solvent-based paints. At the same time, it has greatly extended the field of survival of environmental protection coatings, and the industrial structure adjustment has entered a new era. Li Yaoxin, director of the city's Economic and Credit Committee, said that "putting pressure on and subtracting" and exerting effort on "new and increasing" and doing a real job on "regional focus" will become an important starting point for realizing industrial restructuring and upgrading.
