With the deepening of the real estate "second housing reform" policy, the national market for the renovation of over 2 billion square meters of old houses has ushered in an explosive period. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's "Green Building Action Plan" clearly requires that the proportion of green building materials used in new urban buildings must exceed 70% by 2025, and environmentally friendly coatings have become the core demand of old renovation projects. Against this background, Sang Hing Hong Chemical, relying on its 68 years of technical accumulation in the field of coating additives, provides technological solutions for indoor air health and carbon neutrality goals with its innovatively developed LOCA® odor-free film-forming additives.
New opportunities for the coatings industry under the policy trend
With the in-depth promotion of the real estate "second housing reform" policy, the national market for renovation of over 2 billion square meters of old houses has ushered in an explosive period. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's "Green Building Action Plan" clearly requires that the proportion of green building materials used in new urban buildings must exceed 70% by 2025, and environmentally friendly coatings have become the core demand of old renovation projects. Against this background, Sang Hing Hong Chemical, relying on its 68 years of technical accumulation in the field of coating additives, provides technological solutions for indoor air health and carbon neutrality goals with its innovatively developed LOCA® odor-free film-forming additives.
Odor-free revolution: How LOCA® reshapes indoor environmental safety
Traditional film-forming additives generally have the problem of VOC (volatile organic compounds) release, especially in the closed old house renovation scene, pungent odors and formaldehyde residues seriously affect the living experience. Sang Hing Hong Chemical Shanghai R&D Center spent 5 years on research and development. The LOCA® series of products developed through molecular structure reconstruction technology have achieved three major breakthroughs:
1. Ultra-low VOC formula: LOCA® adopts advanced technology, and the product attribute is non-VOC, which does not add VOC contribution to the coating formula
2. High-efficiency film-forming technology: The extremely high film-forming properties can reduce the amount of formula addition by 30% compared with traditional products, which can meet the requirements of film formation under low temperature conditions
3. Extremely low odor contribution: The unique structural design and first-class production process control make the product itself have extremely low odor attributes, and do not add additional odor contribution to the coating formula
Sang Hing Hong Chemical Technology Director pointed out: "LOCA® is not only an upgrade of additives, but also a key carrier for the transformation of the coating industry to 'environmentally friendly manufacturing'. We have established a carbon footprint model for the entire life cycle of coatings to ensure the greening of the entire chain from raw material procurement to construction application."
Industrial collaborative innovation under the dual carbon strategy
Facing the requirements of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's "14th Five-Year Plan" for building energy conservation and green building development, Sang Hing Hong Chemical is co-building the "Odor-Free Coatings Industry Alliance" with leading coatings companies to promote three major innovations:
✓ Developing environmentally friendly products LOCA® A+ suitable for prefabricated buildings
✓ Cooperating with universities and other scientific research institutions to develop 100% bio-based film-forming additives
✓ Building a coating recycling system to achieve the recycling of film-forming additives
Conclusion: Technology for good, see the future
Driven by the policy orientation of "housing for living, not for speculation" and the dual carbon goals, Sang Hing Hong Chemical is using LOCA® film-forming additives as a fulcrum to leverage the 100 billion-level green building materials market. Through continuous technological iteration and scenario-based application innovation, this old chemical company not only injects technological genes into the renovation of old houses, but also leads the industry towards the "Healthy Living 4.0" era. As its brand proposition says-"invisible additives, visible breathing freedom".
