Water-based paints win top quality awards

Last year, the organic water-based paints for exterior and interior of the Pyongyang Jonghyang Building-materials Factory won the December 15 Medal of Quality, an award for the best domestic products.

The factory mainly uses locally abundant raw materials to make the paints which are highly resistant to weather, water and washing with great hiding and antibacterial power. They are well received by consumers as cost-saving products and green building materials.

“The present trend of paints for buildings is to develop them with locally abundant inorganic materials causing no harm to the environment and produce them by compounding and denaturalizing organic and inorganic materials. Our factory completed an inorganic-organic compound paint production process using inorganic materials as the main raw materials in line with such trend and local conditions,” said Manager Jong Ryong Su.

What is noticeable is that all the employees of the factory are college graduates or those enrolled at colleges under the study-while-you-work system.

The main standpoint of the factory is that all the employees should be talents with advanced science and technology in order to promote its growth and development.

Many workers of the factory have contributed to the domestic production of different building materials and become inventors of original plans and ideas in the course of solving scientific and technological problems arising in production.

The organic water-based exterior and interior paints recently honoured with the top quality medal were also improved further in that course.

While analyzing world-acknowledged products, the employees grasped the advanced technologies applied to them, their features, merits and demerits and problems arising in production and determined afresh the rational production methods and technical indexes that suit the specific conditions of the factory.

They also stepped up the automation and modernization of production processes to increase production capacity while saving much labour.

They set up an industrial laboratory equipped with over 30 kinds of modern testing and measuring equipment to put quality control on a scientific basis and improve the quality of products.

The paints of the factory have been introduced into more than 300 important construction projects and are praised as being highly resistant to washing, having great adhesive strength and good fireproof characters and giving off no harmful gas even at high temperature.
