?In 2020, a series of safety accidents have sounded the alarm for practitioners in the chemical industry, and safety inspections at all levels from the state to the province are also being carried out vigorously. At the same time, as the concept of environmental protection has become popular, environmental protection policies have become increasingly stringent. Looking back at the first 11 months of 2020, policy documents on safe production and environmental protection have been frequently published, which also pointed out the direction for the development of the coating chemical industry , Sorted out some standards and regulations related to the coating industry, and shared them with everyone.

"Antibacterial and Antiviral Coatings" "Test Methods for Antiviral Performance of Coatings (Paint Film)"

?

Introduction: These two group standards break the lack of international anti-viral coating standards and will provide an effective standard and clear basis for the anti-viral coating market. The "Antibacterial and Antiviral Coatings" group standard clarifies that the antibacterial and antiviral properties of coatings should meet the requirements of antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Among them, the antiviral rate of H3N2 is required for level I antiviral performance. 99.9% or greater, and the anti-virus rate of EV71 must be greater than or equal to 95.0%. "Coating (paint film) antiviral performance test method" group standard, which stipulates the terms and definitions, test principles, reagents and materials of coating (paint film) antiviral performance test, which is suitable for coating (paint film) antiviral performance test Determination.

"Guidelines for the Evaluation of Green Factory in the Coatings Industry"

?

Introduction: A green factory refers to a factory that has achieved intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste recycling, and low-carbon energy. The "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Green Factory in the Coatings Industry" standard applies to the evaluation of "green factories" by coating companies, including water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings, powder coatings and radiation curing coating companies. The system boundary defined by the standard includes the pre-dispersion, grinding, dispersion, paint mixing, filtration, packaging, inspection, storage and other processes of paint production, and does not include processes such as the synthesis of paint resins.
