The paint industry has become the biggest consensus: under the tightening of environmental protection and market upgrading, oil-based paints are gradually phased out, and water-based paints have become a must-have for various painting scenarios. However, many companies are concerned about their construction, performance, and cost issues. Understanding the five major advantages of water-based paints is necessary to seize the transformation dividends.
Urgent need for environmental compliance, completely bid farewell to environmental surprise inspections
Oil paint contains a large amount of organic solvents, with VOC emissions exceeding the standard. Harmful substances such as benzene and heavy metals continue to evaporate, resulting in a pungent odor in the workshop. As soon as environmental inspections are carried out, work stoppages for rectification and high fines have become the norm, and the renovation of waste gas treatment equipment requires additional huge costs.
Flame retardant is safer and significantly reduces operational risks in the factory area
Traditional oil-based paints are flammable and explosive materials, and there are hidden dangers in the entire process of raw material storage, transportation, and spraying. Static electricity and small open flames can also cause fires and explosions, putting enormous pressure on enterprise safety control.
Water based paint is flame retardant and non flammable. It is stable when stored at room temperature, and there is no risk of open flames during the entire construction process. It comprehensively avoids explosion and fire accidents. A non-toxic and harmless workshop environment can effectively protect the physical health of construction workers, reduce occupational disease hazards, stabilize the workforce, and reduce personnel turnover costs.
Lower overall cost, more cost-effective with long-term operation
Many people only look at the unit price of product procurement and mistakenly believe that the cost of water-based paint is higher. When calculating the cost of the entire industry chain, the difference is clear at a glance
1. Cost saving dilution: Directly mix clean water without the need for expensive specialized diluents, significantly reducing auxiliary material expenses;
2. Less paint loss: Smooth spraying, thin coating forming, high utilization rate of paint film, and more material saving;
3. Less after-sales rework: The paint film has strong adhesion, is smooth and uniform, is not easy to peel, crack, or peel off, and reduces the cost of later maintenance and renovation;
4. Low hazardous waste costs: The process of treating waste paint and waste residue is simple, and compared to the high hazardous waste disposal costs of oil-based paint, it saves a large amount of expenses every year.
Short term investment adjustment and long-term cost reduction and efficiency improvement are the optimal solutions for small and medium-sized painting factories and processing stores.
Comprehensive performance upgrade, fully comparable to or even surpassing oil-based paint
'Poor performance of water-based paint' has long been an outdated bias. After years of technological iteration, all indicators of mature water-based paint have been fully met
High temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, rust and corrosion prevention, outdoor weather resistance and UV resistance, long-term sun exposure without fading or losing luster; The indoor coating is delicate and full, with a high-quality paint texture. Suitable for various construction methods such as spray coating, brush coating, and roller coating, with low entry barriers for experienced workers to quickly adapt, and simple training for beginners to get started. Construction is less prone to defects such as sagging, orange peel, color difference, etc., resulting in a high pass rate of finished products and a more worry free project acceptance.
The market threshold has been raised, and water-based paint can only undertake high-end orders
Nowadays, when selecting suppliers for engineering projects and brand procurement, environmental protection coating has become a mandatory threshold for cooperation. For medium and large-scale infrastructure, rail transit, household appliances, and real estate projects, high pollution oil-based paints are directly prohibited, and only cooperative manufacturers using water-based paints are accepted.
Completing the oil to water transformation ahead of schedule can not only secure high-quality orders that others cannot, but also create a green factory brand label, widen the gap in peer competition, and enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise. Environmental policies will only continue to tighten, and the survival space for oil-based paints will continue to shrink. Oil to water conversion is not an option, but an industry certainty. The earlier you lay out water-based paint, the earlier you can establish a foothold in the market and reap the benefits of green transformation.
