    Core tips: [news] latex paint is favored by more and more modern families for its rich and soft colors and healthy and environmental protection characteristics, and it is the main force of interior wall decoration at present Every owner who wants to decorate has a certain understanding of it However, the use of latex paint can achieve the expected decoration effect, in addition to the quality of the product itself, but also has a lot to do with the use method I'm afraid that not all owners can understand this point Mistake 1: primer is not very useful, you can use it without it As long as the walls are puttied, they must be painted with primer, even the old walls Paint knowledge how about Akzo Nobel Powder Coating Recommended introduction: powder coating is a kind of coating with different form from general coating, which is in powder form It is a new type of coating, because of its own advantages and more and more known by people Let's introduce Akzo Nobel Powder coating Akzo Nobel Powder coating is a cost-effective coating solution, which can be applied to different kinds of products After the treatment of static electricity and fire baking, a tough and durable coating surface will be formed, with the least impact on the environment Since the introduction of this technology, powder coating has been able to continue to maintain the Paint Home News: [news] latex paint with its rich and soft colors and healthy and environmental protection characteristics is favored by more and more modern families, and is the main force of interior wall decoration at present Every owner who wants to decorate has a certain understanding of it However, the use of latex paint can achieve the expected decoration effect, in addition to the quality of the product itself, but also has a lot to do with the use method I'm afraid that not all owners can understand this point Myth 1: primer is not very useful, you can also use it as long as you have scraped the putty on the wall, you must brush the primer, even if the old wall is renovated, you must brush the primer on the parts that have scraped the putty Because the putty used now is water-resistant putty, which is more alkaline The primer has the effect of alkali resistance If you do not brush the primer, the putty will return to alkali, and the wall will become flower Special reminder: less water shall be added to the primer, and the interval between the primer and the subsequent finishing coat shall not be too short (preferably not less than 24 hours), otherwise, the putty may return to alkali after the primer is applied Mistake 2: the smoother the base treatment is, the better most people know that before the construction of emulsion paint, the wall should be treated to ensure that there are no bubbles, cracks, dust, etc., so that the construction effect of emulsion paint can be smooth But is the wall smoother the better? This is another misunderstanding If the wall is too smooth or greasy, the wall will peel easily after painting, which will also affect the decoration effect If the base is too smooth, the correct way is to brush the base with a rigid brush and remove the greasy dirt with solvent Mistake 3: layered latex paint can't be reused If some latex paint is left after decoration, it can be stored in a cool and backlit place after the bucket cover is covered However, after a period of standing, the emulsion paint may be stratified Many owners think that the layered emulsion paint can no longer be used In fact, as the emulsion paint is an aqueous solution, it is normal to have layered phenomenon As long as there is no yellowing, mildew, peculiar smell and other conditions, it can still be used normally after being stirred evenly, without affecting the final coating effect Error 4: touch the wall with white paint and quality problems After finishing the finishing coat, touch the white paint with your hands You don't need to be nervous Most of the "powder" dropped is dust on the wall In the process of construction, a lot of dust will slowly attach to the wall, and similar phenomenon of powder falling may occur after touching with hands Use a duster or clean towel to wipe off the dust, which should be solved If the quality of latex paint is relatively poor, the moisture content is too much, and the emulsion is less After a year or two of the paint, it may appear that the dust is removed with the towel, but even if it is painted, it will not be dropped by hand Special reminder: latex paint is best applied to the wall for 24 hours and then touched by hand If the construction temperature is below 5 ℃, the time should be extended to one week Before buying latex paint, it's better to ask the merchants about the grade of latex paint In general, medium and high-grade paint won't lose powder, but the paint with lower grade has poor scratch resistance and is more likely to lose powder Mistake 5: the more expensive the emulsion paint is, the better the effect is The wall effect after the construction of the emulsion paint is good Influenced by the quality of the emulsion paint itself and the construction technology, "good horse" also needs to be equipped with "good saddle", so as to give full play to its maximum effect The higher the grade, the higher the content of paint, emulsion and other raw materials, the higher the requirements for the construction process If the construction process does not pay attention, it is more prone to the phenomenon of wall brushes Special reminder: before the construction, the construction personnel must be strictly in accordance with the construction requirements in the product description, especially pay attention to the three requirements of water quantity, base treatment and interval time indicated in the product description Mistake 6: qualified latex paint is not the same national standard as environmental protection Only latex paint that has passed the national green ten ring certification is the real environmental protection product Special reminder: only latex paint products that have passed the green ten ring certification will have corresponding labels on their surfaces, and consumers can check whether they have such labels when they buy them At the same time, you can also ask the merchants for the test report presented by the National Paint Quality Supervision and inspection center, and check the VOC (volatile organic compounds) and other indicators The lower the value is, the more safe and environmentally friendly products are China's environmental mark certification standard requires that the VOC content of wall paint after water removal should be ≤ 80g / L Mistake 7: the number of scrubbing resistance index high wall surface can be scrubbed at will with towel The number of scrubbing resistance of latex paint is tested with a special machine brush on the paint surface, rather than the test result with a tool made of towel If the towel is rubbed as hard as clothes, the paint film may be scratched, and even the latex paint with a high number of scrubbing resistance may also be powdered Special reminder: if there is a stain on the wall, wipe it off in time with a wet towel with normal strength, and the paint with poor quality may penetrate for too long, which is not easy to remove Myth 8: Although emulsion paint is a kind of water-based paint with excellent environmental protection performance, many owners still like to open doors and windows after use, one is to speed up the drying of the wall, the other is to disperse the peculiar smell of the paint It seems like killing two birds with one stone, but is this really right? This is not the case Especially in the northern dry areas, if the paint drying time is too fast, the latex paint quickly loses water in a short time, which is easy to cause wall cracking, and finally has to be reworked The correct way is to open a small gap in the window to ensure the indoor ventilation On the premise of this, it is advisable to let the wall completely dry in 1-2 days Home of coatings is specialized in coatings, diatom mud, paint coating, coating technology, fire retardant coating news and coating, diatom mud, paint coating, coating technology, fire retardant coating decoration knowledge and decoration renderings,
