In recent years, various regions have issued local or regional laws, regulations and rules and regulations in accordance with the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law" and "Winning the Blue Sky Defense War", encouraging the use of coatings, inks, adhesives and cleaning agents with low volatile organic content. Traditional high-risk and high-pollution products must be upgraded and transformed to meet the requirements of green production.

The implementation of this series of standards will have a significant impact on the production and application companies of coatings, inks, adhesives and cleaning agents. At present, in response to the Blue Sky Defense Action Plan, end-user companies at all levels are investigating products such as coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning agents, etc. involved in the supply chain.
