Low-carbon environmental tide promotes the development of building energy-saving coatings

In recent years, low energy, environmental protection, energy conservation, and emission reduction have become the common concerns of the world due to the intense energy resources and the deterioration of the climate and environment. They are also the direction and goal of economic development in various countries and regions and industries. The energy loss of buildings is very large. Therefore, the building energy-saving has drawn more and more attention from the country and society. As an important building material, architectural coatings have been used to develop energy-saving paints for buildings and to promote their popularity as an important topic in the coatings industry.

The trend of low-carbon environmental protection promotes the development of energy-saving coatings for building energy-saving green energy into the development of the first building energy-saving coatings need to rise. Energy-saving emission reduction is an important issue during the national "Twelfth Five-Year" period, building energy efficiency has also been included in the national energy-saving emission reduction system. The National "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" proposes that the construction industry must promote green building and green construction. This fully demonstrates that vigorously promoting the development of green buildings is an inevitable requirement for implementing and implementing the national scientific concept of development in the construction field, and is an important part of changing the mode of economic development. The 12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Construction Industry released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development proposed that the engineering design of the new construction during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period should meet the national building energy-saving standard to reach 100%, and the unit added value of construction products during the construction process should be reduced by 10%. %. The introduction of the national policy on building energy conservation has made building energy-saving coatings a must, and it also provides a good macro environment for its development.

Architectural coatings are an important part of building materials and also occupy a large proportion of paint production. Building energy efficiency is the need for national development, and it is also the direction of development of architectural coatings. The "12th Five-Year Plan" Comprehensive Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Work Plan announced by the General Office of the State Council lists the petrochemical and chemical industries as priorities for the country in promoting energy conservation and emission reduction. The paint industry, as a major energy consumer and VOC emitter, develops building energy-saving coatings, not only It will help to adjust its own industrial structure, and it is of great significance for saving resources and promoting the sustainable development of the social economy.

Policy support and demand to stimulate the pace of development of building energy-saving coatings At present, many local governments gradually increase the promotion of building energy-saving materials, building energy-saving coatings in this drive also accelerated the process of popularization. According to the “Regulations on Energy Saving for Civil Buildings” issued by the State Council, Guangdong Province has formulated the “Guangdong Provincial Civil Building Energy Conservation Regulations” which was reviewed and passed by the provincial government on March 30 this year, and will be implemented in the province on July 1 this year. In Hainan Province, according to the relevant notice requirements of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, combined with the actual conditions in the region, 20 new building sunshading technologies including thermal insulation coatings will be gradually promoted.

With the stimulation of building energy conservation policies and market demand, many paint companies have increased their research and development efforts and launched a series of energy-saving architectural paint products, showing a flourishing trend. Dow Roof Coatings' energy-saving and environmental protection solutions at the 15th China International Coatings Exhibition 2010 and its sub-forum attracted many consumers and people in the industry; Beijing Zhisheng Weihua Company's well-developed ZS-221 Sunscreen Insulation coating integrates reflection, radiation and hollow microbead insulation into one, adding luster to building energy conservation; Carrefour launched 26% wall paint for home energy saving; in the party and the country to promote "innovative country" " With the strong call for energy-saving and emission-reduction, low-carbon economy and scientific development concept, we have developed a building reflective insulation coating...

The main function of thermal insulation coatings is to prevent the loss of their own heat and to prevent the intrusion of external solar energy. In recent years, events such as the "CCTV Fire" and Shanghai's "11.15 Fire" have caused all sectors of the society to look into building insulation materials. The insulation and heat-insulation coatings are typical of building energy-saving functional coatings and have received widespread attention from the government, industry, and consumers. In addition, with the enhancement of low-carbon environmental protection concepts, building energy-saving coatings have been favored by many consumers. It is understood that at present, some factories, tin houses, administrative units, and schools in Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, have generally used thermal insulation coatings, and consumers have shown good results in insulation; in the 2011 Hainan Energy Conservation Publicity Week, there were many Functional energy-saving coatings have attracted many visitors.

Government and enterprises work together to seek new developments. The prospects for building energy-saving coatings are considerable At present, the development and popularity of architectural energy-saving coatings in China is limited. Governments and enterprises need to work together to promote them to a new level.

From the government's point of view, the national policies and regulations provide a good space for the development of architectural coatings, and they have also taken effective measures in terms of capital and technology. In July 2011, the National Energy Quality Building Materials Quality Supervision and Inspection Center officially entered the Gedian Development Zone in Ezhou City, Hubei Province. It is dedicated to the research and development of building materials that are safe, energy-efficient, and energy-efficient, providing convenience for companies to develop building energy-saving materials; 2011 The Guangzhou Urban Building Energy Conservation Sub-fund Support Project established in Guangzhou City will incorporate energy-saving exterior wall coatings and other energy-saving product building application technologies to provide financial support for building energy-saving coatings. However, the government's technical and financial support needs to be strengthened and implemented.

From the coating industry, at present, China's building energy-saving coatings are typically made of heat-insulation coatings. They are mainly divided into two major categories. One is represented by a thick external insulation system, and the principle of heat insulation is used to reduce barriers. The effect is obvious. Traditional silicate-based composite coatings also use this principle; the other is a thin-layer coating that uses the principle of reducing solar absorption to reduce the intrusion of external solar energy. Although there have been successful production companies and engineering cases for building energy-saving coatings, the types of products on the market are still relatively simple and the results are uneven. Companies that have the strength to focus on R&D of building energy-saving products also need to improve R&D technologies and levels, and accelerate the rate at which innovation results translate into productivity.

Building energy efficiency has become an important trend in the development of low-carbon economy. The market for building energy-saving coatings is very broad. China's paint companies also need to build on the existing developments, ride the wind, break new ground, and develop new blue oceans.
