    1) to see the level of environmental protection
    this is divided into
    national standards (China standard mark) and European standard (European standard mark)
    , generally speaking, the european standard paint environmental standards slightly higher than the national standard, export paint products to the European standard.
    these environmental tests are the product's own certification standards, some are after the construction of air quality testing certification, of course, these must be the certification of the authority.
    most direct way to look at the
    green ten-ring logo (in the middle of the image below),
    which is generally printed on the outer packaging of the product.Left, center: Ten rings (China Environmental Mark) Right: Blue Sky Messenger Mark (Germany's highest environmental protection mark)
    2) identification method after opening the can
    First step,
    to observe the latex paint surface whether water surface floats.
    water surfaced to prove that raw emulsion ratio, solubility is not good, easy to fade or even drop powder, on the other end to prove that latex paint water resistance is good.
    Second step,
    after opening the tank to observe the state of the brush after the test latex paint,
    if the latex paint on the brush is a line downstream, then its leveling is good, easy to construct, if a drop drop down, then the leveling is poor, after painting will appear deep brush marks and not easy to construct.
    Finally
    observe the consistency of latex paint,
    latex paint thickening, will make the construction staff to continue to add water to the inside, so that the brushed latex paint cover low, easy to drop powder, high-quality latex paint consistency moderate uniform and shiny.
    2, look at the function of paint
    roughly
    anti-scrub, moisture-proof, mold-resistant, anti-alkali, anti-formaldehyde, antibacterial and anti-fine lines
    and other functions, then choose what kind of function of the paint, is the most suitable for their own home?
    this is depending on the situation:
    1)
    floors lower house or wet heavy
    area, first consider the
    moisture, mold, antibacterial
    function of the paint.
    2)
    now house decoration,
    new house wall subsidon may have fine lines, other decoration materials will release a small amount of harmful substances, then consider
    reflection fine lines, anti formaldehyde
    function of the paint, can avoid or reduce the production of fine lines, adsorption decomposition of harmful substances.
    3) If the funds are sufficient,
    can directly choose
    the full-
    function of the paint.02
    pre-wall grass-roots treatment
    the wall finally made the effect of good and bad, long and short service life and other issues, not only with the quality of latex paint has a direct relationship, but also with the early wall grass-roots treatment of the construction process and materials have a great relationship.
    construction process of the wall is: rough wall→ interface agent→ putty layer→ primer→ latex paint.
    every step of the way before you can play the role of latex paint.
    , the interface agent
    (a treatment agent used to remove dust from the surface of the original wall)
    must be brushed,
    Because it adds putty
    (
    putty is a thick slurry coating that flattens the surface of the wall to remove uneven defects on the coated surface
    )
    and the adhesion of the rough wall, the oily moisture that encloses the concrete base of the wall.
    Second,
    to the putty layer
    , looking for flat wall brush,
    make it smooth and smooth, remember to
    choose alkaline not heavy, more delicate and white putty powder.
    Don't do the interface agent putty layer
    and then wait for the putty layer completely dry after painting primer, this time
    many people will ask whether the primer must brush, it is recommended to paint, because
    primer can prevent mold moisture, increase paint adhesion.
    paint paint easy to cause paint peeling, powdering, gloss is not equal, foaming, poor scrub resistance and so on.
    made a primer to avoid this situation
    finally painted latex paint, if the
    concentration viscosity is high, can be water 10%-15%, not more than 20%,
    because of excessive dilution will be easy to penetrate the bottom. Then generally
    roll or spray two or three times to complete
    , where the spray effect is better, but with a large amount of paint and can not be partially repaired.

    concrete substrate
    anti-alkali, mold-resistant and other closed functions
    )
    ,
    Avoid wall pan-alkali after guidance to colored paint flowers;
