Chinese children's paint and ordinary paint is not very different.

When renovating a room for a child, parents often choose a child-specific

, which is much more expensive
than
ordinary
paint. So is it safe to pay a high price?
"children-specific" paint value doubled
"bamboo carbon decomposition formaldehyde," "diatom decomposition formaldehyde," "anti-child allergy asthma," "zero formaldehyde" ... Paint with the words "children-only" written on it seems extraordinarily "magical" and doubles in value. Reporters visited the
paint
market found that the 5 liters of clean taste full effect of a well-known domestic brand paint, written that the price of children-specific 850 yuan, and the ordinary only 426 yuan, a full difference doubled, another 5 liters of paint children's price of 699 yuan, ordinary only 228 yuan, the price more than doubled. When the reporter asked why the price difference is so much, a shop assistant explained to reporters: "General paint with formaldehyde as a solvent, this children's paint, is used as a solvent, no formaldehyde, benzene and other volatile substances, after painting can maintain indoor air safety."Another shop assistant said that his children's paint added bamboo charcoal, can break down formaldehyde and other harmful substances, children love to paint on the wall, this child paint dry, the child painted on the wall can be wiped off with water.
"children's paint" there is no national unified norms
reporters see that many parents are spending money to buy high-priced paint, according to statistics, China's annual addition of about 40,000 leukemia patients, 90% of children with leukemia from six months of decoration of the family. The sales manager of a paint import company says that in China, "children's paint" and ordinary paint are not very different, the implementation of a standard. Some of the
paint companies
that bamboo charcoal breaks down formaldehyde or diatoms break down formaldehyde is actually meaningless. "A little bit of chemical common sense people will know that bamboo charcoal can not react with formaldehyde, but bamboo charcoal 'holes' can adsorb formaldehyde, temporarily smell no taste, once saturated, will also be discharged into the air, diatom is also a principle. This method cures the problem. Declaring 'zero formaldehyde' is unsociable, because the air itself has formaldehyde, can only say that formaldehyde content is close to zero. There are businesses in order to cover up the smell of formaldehyde, in the paint to add spices, the name 'scent paint', so that the scented paint parents do not choose.The manager also said that many parents in order to spend money to buy rest assured, do not care about the price, which makes many domestic paint manufacturers dealers seize the opportunity to earn money, in fact, "children's paint" is a gimmick.
: Don't forget to ask for a test report when you buy. The editor of
large-scale
paint network said that china has not yet specifically developed national standards for children's paint. Only one Shanghai Chemical Building Materials Industry Association issued the "Children's Water
Interior
Code", but does not belong to the national standard, so the role is limited. Although, the general large enterprises produce children's paint will have their own standards, indeed higher than ordinary paint standards, but all rely on enterprise self-discipline, because of the lack of national standards, so supervision also lack of basis. He suggests that when parents buy paint for their children, they can choose paint that meets national standards. At the time of purchase, ask the merchant for a product inspection report and check it carefully.
