Successfully digested the rising cost of paint market or increased by 15% in 2011

On April 8th, Akzo Nobel, the world's largest paint company Akzo Nobel's Global Board of Directors, pointed out in an interview that despite the fact that the high oil price is an indisputable fact, the paint industry has been able to successfully absorb this part of the cost so far. The market is expected to usher in at least 15% growth in 2011.

Recently, international oil prices have skyrocketed to a $110 platform, which has brought pressure and opportunities to the downstream chemical industry. In this regard, Wei Siyi said that different sub-sectors of coatings have different ability to digest costs. For example, some highly competitive sub-sectors may be more difficult in this respect.

Specifically, he pointed out that the competition in the marine marine coatings field is fierce. In addition, the shipbuilding industry itself is experiencing cost pressure due to rising steel prices, and it is difficult to withstand the rise in the price of paint; in addition, China's policy of regulating the real estate market has also led to The shrinking of furniture demand has brought a lot of impact on furniture coatings.

"But overall, most of the sub-sectors are still buoyed by demand, and they are still able to absorb rising costs." Wei Siyi said.

Talking about the recent Japanese earthquakes that have attracted attention from all walks of life, Wei Sijun said that since AkzoNobel’s business in Japan accounts for a small proportion of its total business, earthquakes have caused the company to take into account even the problems arising from the supply of some raw materials. The impact is also small.

"This can be seen from two aspects: First, the availability of raw materials, followed by the price." Wei Siqi pointed out that it is still difficult to determine the global price of raw materials is caused by the earthquake in Japan, so the overall earthquake to the coating The industry has little effect. However, the post-disaster reconstruction in Japan will be a huge project and it is expected to drive a lot of demand.

Akzo Nobel's president of China, Chen Fade, further disclosed to the reporter that the earthquake in Japan did lead to shortage of some raw materials for paints. One of the more representative ones was acrylate.

“At present, most acrylate raw materials can basically find replacements from other markets such as China, but some functional monomers still can only be produced in Japan.” Chen Hairde said, “Although there are alternatives, companies will be cautious when choosing Because it involves the transformation of various devices, this will be a very long process."

Aisle Lighting

Aisle Lighting is a lighting solution used in commercial and retail environments to provide appropriate lighting for areas such as walkways, aisles, and passageways. Its goal is to ensure that these areas are bright enough to provide safety and comfort and to guide people's walking flow.

The design of walkway lighting needs to take into account different factors. The first is the intensity and uniformity of lighting, ensuring that the corridor area has enough brightness so that people can see the surrounding environment and the direction of travel. The second is the color temperature of the step led lighting, according to the needs of the scene choosing the right color temperature, such as a warmer color temperature can create a more warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Channel lighting also needs to focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. Choosing high-efficiency lighting technologies, such as LED fixtures, can reduce energy consumption and extend service life. Using intelligent lighting systems, combined with sensors and timers, automatic dimming and automatic shutdown can be achieved to save energy.

With the right aisle definition, businesses can create a safe, comfortable, and inviting shopping environment for customers. Bright aisle lighting not only enhances the shopping experience but also facilitates customer flow and navigation, helping to boost sales. In addition, proper channel lighting helps to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the safety of employees and customers.
