The smell of the family is widespread, and VOC is one of the "culprits" in paint. What consumers need to pay attention to is that not all furniture brands that use water-based paints can meet environmental standards. The “10-ring certification†is an important basis for testing the environmental protection of furniture coatings.
One said that the newly renovated house and the newly bought home have a taste, you may think it is "formaldehyde", but in fact, it is probably another thing that is easily overlooked: VOC. The name VOC is a volatile organic compound that is often found in paints used on wooden surfaces. "On the night of the closet, my family and I fled, and there was no way to stay in the house. There was a strong taste and not blinking. I also dared to go home after a few days." Ms. Liu, who lives in Wangjing, talked about her own purchase. The "nightmare" experience of a well-known brand of solid wood furniture, "later found the manufacturer, they explained that in order to ensure that the door-to-door delivery in a short time, the wardrobe was shipped directly to the factory, the taste of the furniture surface paint was not scattered. â€
How to solve the problem that furniture must be “smelling†to have no taste? The brand with firm attitude says that traditional solvent-based paint (commonly known as oil paint) must be changed to water-based paint. At the same time, however, another sound comes along: the water-based paint film is not hard enough to cause damage to the furniture surface. For water-based paints, one side is actively encouraged, and the other side is negative exclusion. Different attitudes make consumers feel puzzled. So what is the truth?
“Water-based paint†has been recognized by the paint industry for its “oily paint†health.
At present, in order to control PM2.5 pollution, the Beijing Environmental Protection Agency's water-based paint technology is being promoted, water-based paint furniture is more environmentally friendly, and the characteristics of VOC reduction can be amplified. Accompanied by the use of water-based paints in Qumei furniture, the new sounds of Ruichi furniture are about to change into positive sounds such as water-based paints, and consumers' attention to water-based paints has once again increased.
However, many people are still asking, in addition to reducing the pollution of VOCs to the atmosphere, how to change the furniture of water-based paints, how is it healthier for every family? Zhao Ruihai, president of Qumei Furniture, bluntly said that “furniture should be completely No smell, you must use the water-based paint with the lowest VOC content. Because the traditional solvent-based paint contains "volatile organic compound VOC", if the drying time is not long enough, and the packaging is immediately after the offline, it may happen that the delivery is "exhausted". If solvent-based paint is still used, the environmental condition of the furniture is not stable.
In this regard, the professional sales of water-based paint brands also have something to say, Ma Li Te (Beijing) Coatings Co., Ltd. technical manager Huang Liying said that many years ago, when Mayfair founder Yu Heng brought the water-based paint originator Germany Fangfang into China, Once faced with the "water and oil dispute", then solvent-based paint all over the world, the domestic coatings industry knows very little about water-based paint. Today, many years later, water-based paints have become more healthy and environmentally friendly, and many domestic paint companies have developed their own water-based paint products.
In simple terms, oily paint refers to the use of oils and fats as a film-forming mechanism, which needs to be diluted or cured with an organic solvent. The main agent of the paint contains various harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene and xylene, which can damage human hematopoietic function. It causes blood diseases, can also cause cancer, induces leukemia, and the organic solvent used also contains a large amount of TDI (an organic compound containing a strong irritating gas) and the above-mentioned harmful substances, which can cause damage to the respiratory tract, brain cells, poisoning or allergy. The reaction has a long evaporation period and can cause serious damage to the human body.
Compared with oil-based paints, water-based paints are water-dispersed and diluted paints. The biggest feature is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-flammable, and contains no carcinogens in solvent-based oil paints such as benzene, formaldehyde, and free TDI. Heavy metals, etc., the main volatiles of water-based paints are present in the additives, but the content is extremely low. The harm to human health is greatly reduced.
“Water-based paint†has experienced many technological innovations that are less vulnerable
“Water-based lacquer furniture? Is it possible to have inks when it is hot?†Many consumers who know the water-based lacquer furniture will hold such an idea. There are frequent sayings about the lack of hardness of the paint film and poor water resistance. However, some people in the industry have heard this view and said, "This is a very old point of view."
"There are still many furniture brands and consumers who dare not try water-based paint products. With a wait-and-see attitude and a conservative attitude, they feel that it has problems in many physical properties. In fact, it is not necessary." Jiabaoli Waterborne Wood Coatings Division Manager Zhu Yanan told the author, "With the development of technology, there are already many water-based paint products that can fully meet the needs of consumers. For example, the colorful life children's furniture supplied by Carpoly, Shenzhen Yangtze River office furniture, etc. even Some water-based lacquer furniture has far more physical properties than oil-based lacquer furniture."
At the same time, Huang Liying, manager of the technical department of Mayfair (Beijing) Coatings Co., Ltd. also said that the water-based wood lacquer is directly diluted with water, and the construction is relatively simple. It is not easy to have common problems such as foaming, granules and other oily paints, and the paint film feels delicate. The gloss is soft and uniform, the yellowing resistance is good, the water resistance is excellent, it is not easy to burn, and the effect of “seeing the wood without paint†which is unique to the high-grade furniture that cannot be achieved by the oil paint can be produced. Many people think that there is still a gap between water-based wood lacquer in hardness, wear resistance and scratch resistance compared with oil-based lacquer. In fact, in Europe and the United States, water-based lacquer has entered a stage of mature development, and 90% of oil-based lacquer has been water-based. With the lacquer replacement, the physical properties of the waterborne wood lacquer are fully functional in practical applications.
Be wary of the business to take advantage of the sale of water-based paints, environmental protection is not up to standard, there needs to be "evidence"
The most outstanding environmental performance of water-based paints is an important value. However, Liu Jie, Minister of Industry Development of China Coatings Industry Association, gave consumers an important reminder: “Not all water-based paints are environmentally friendly.†Some businesses may also By the current hot trend, it is claimed that the production of furniture is based on water-based paint. “It’s easy to use water-based paint, and it’s hard to say if it can meet environmental standards.â€
Regarding how to judge the pros and cons of water-based paint furniture, Liu Jie gave two suggestions: "First of all, we must look at the ten-ring certification, which is the national environmental label product certification. This is still a relatively authoritative standard certification, if this standard cannot be achieved. The water-based paint used is not really environmentally friendly. It may be that some inferior water-based paints are not as environmentally friendly as some high-quality oil paints."
Second, consumer spending habits and attitudes still need to change. Some consumers are still insisting on choosing high-gloss furniture. In fact, water-based paint furniture can develop rapidly in some countries in Europe and America, and partly because they recognize the introverted beauty of matt furniture. "Obviously, it is hard to be a water-based lacquered furniture that can't be filled with 'thief light'. Good water-based lacquer furniture can make you see the texture of the wood itself." Liu Jie said.
The brand said that the use of water-based paint furniture will not increase prices
For ordinary consumers, the wood-based products in the home use water-based paint, the price will be more expensive when purchased, the relevant experts said, this completely depends on the individual's emphasis on paint environmental protection. "For furniture manufacturers, the same type of furniture from oil paint to water-based paint production, direct costs may increase by 10% - 30%, but due to the characteristics of water-based paint, the indirect cost of furniture production, such as fire safety The investment may be reduced.†Zhu Yan’an, general manager of Jiabaoli Waterborne Wood Coatings Division, said, “If the production process is mature and mature, it is likely that the overall cost will be lower than before.†In this regard, Zhao Ruijie, vice president of Qumei Furniture Group Said: "Qumei furniture changed to water-based paint, the cost has increased, but the temporary internal digestion will not increase the price. For everyone's environmental protection, consumers have one thing to think about first, when you think that the choice of water-based paint furniture can When it comes to the blue sky in Beijing and can protect your health, you will feel that it is worth paying for it."
