The mattel recall, which hit the world a few years ago, was the result of the discovery of lead paint in toys that violated foreign regulations.Close for some time, blood lead paint, lead contamination event frequency reported, especially at the beginning of this year, 228 children have been bleeding in anhui lead paint, heavy metal pollution once again touched a nerve of the public, cause the attention of the industry development and application of environmental protection paint.

The reporter understands in the investigation and interview, both from the aspects of the state environmental protection laws and regulations and market demand, improve the environmental safety level of inorganic pigment, utilizing have been widely recognized industry enterprises, but the current domestic production enterprises of inorganic pigments a breakthrough in this field is rare, downstream users are still in a state of mood.

China coating industry association secretary general yue looked at he said, coating production in China is expected to reach 10 million tons last year, is already the world's largest scale, but still need to import the high-end products, paint the low level of environmental protection is an important reason."Domestic environmental protection new paint cannot meet the growing needs of domestic coatings enterprises."Yue wangkun stressed.

Secretary-general of China dyestuff industry association of professional committee of the masterbatch, Joe fai also said that at present domestic only two can produce masterbatch with environmentally friendly paint companies, far cannot meet the needs of different enterprises masterbatch.

Domestic products can not meet the needs of downstream users, can only rely on imports, must be controlled by people.Shanghai appropriate porcelain dragon new material technology co., LTD., "said Dr Li Lifeng" environmental protection paint is a high grade product, the company has imported foreign pigment, once foreign suppliers suddenly out of stock, the reason is that the product will be for the military field, we are helpless.There is another time to import premium products from abroad, but there is no such category in the country's catalogue of imported products.

At present, many countries under strict environmental protection laws and regulations, non-toxic, can replace the traditional lead cadmium pigments of environmental protection color mixed inorganic pigments (also known as MMO pigments) has become popular.Many countries stipulate that any equipment that is in contact with the human body cannot be coated with paint containing lead paint. The United States government even stipulates that no vehicle is allowed to be coated with lead paint.Some electrical and engineering plastics and toy products that have been colored by the color masterbatch must also be made of lead-free paint.In this case, titanium yellow (green phase yellow) and titanium chrome brown (red phase yellow) are the preferred substitutes for traditional chrome yellow and molybdenum red.

According to introducing, this kind of paint though contains some considered toxic metals such as chromium, antimony, nickel, etc., but because the product is through above 1000 ℃ high temperature calcination, miscible oxide inert is very high, which is formed by the human stomach acid cannot make its dissolution, so even in intestine, and harmless to the human body;After contact with the human body, it is also safe to meet the safety requirements of contact food requirements and toys.In addition, relative to the organic pigment, MMO paint has excellent weather resistance and excellent heat resistance, light resistance, acid-proof alkaline, chemical resistance, covering power is strong, and in all known pigments, including organic pigments, inorganic pigments, MMO pigment patience is the highest;Due to the production of solid phase method and the reasonable selection of raw materials, no waste gas, waste water and waste residue are produced, and the production process is environmentally friendly.Has the characteristics of reflection infrared, coupled with excellent weather resistance, uv resistance, aging resistance, and is suitable for heat preservation and heat insulation in the infrared environmentally friendly coatings, through infrared reflection coating to achieve the goal of insulation and cooling to save energy.

It is gratifying that China is also actively developing environment-friendly inorganic pigments to bring hope to downstream industrial applications.On January 16, the largest domestic environmental protection inorganic pigment color miscible project giant hair - hunan science and technology co., LTD., with annual capacity of 30000 tons of low carbon environmental protection inorganic pigment color miscible official groundbreaking new material project, the move is considered by the industry as domestic inorganic pigment resonant ice.The company will officially launch the internationally advanced MMO pigment A products in recent days, with the product performance reaching even more than that of foreign products, and the price is much lower.

According to the company's chairman ouyang Hadley, these products by SGS inspection completely accord with the eu RoHS, EN71-3 standard, American ASTMF963 standard and standard of Japan's SONY, at the same time, through the FDA inspections and 1000 hours of anti-aging experiments of 20 years, can be applied to higher requirements for environmental performance, such as food packaging, food containers, children's toys, tableware, etc.

During the 12th five-year plan period, the state will carry out the total control of heavy metals and other special pollutants in some areas.Some experts told reporters that increasingly along with the state environmental protection laws and regulations strictly and downstream areas increased demand for environmental inorganic pigments, during the period of "twelfth five-year" environmental protection research and development, production and application of inorganic pigment will certainly made great progress.
