-- 関西ペイント（東証：4613）は、日本国内に今後4か月分のナフサが確保されているとの公式発表にもかかわらず、この石油由来製品に依存する多くの企業が発注停止や生産削減を行っていると、ロイター通信が水曜日に報じた。
関西ペイント（東証：4613）をはじめとするシンナー系製品メーカーは、有害物質の保管に関する法的規制に直面しており、すでに納期の調整や価格の引き上げを行っており、プラスチック製玩具から住宅建設に至るまで、下流産業に悪影響を及ぼす恐れがあるという。
日本塗装工業会の最近の調査で、従来通りシンナーを入手できる企業はわずか2.7％にとどまることが判明し、供給不足が広範囲に及んでいることが浮き彫りになった。
