after visiting
latex paint
cool
market found that anti-formaldehyde paint, clean taste paint, children-specific environmental protection paint, anti-mold anti-alkali function ... A variety of environmental protection names and functions of the paint has everything, there is publicity can break down formaldehyde, there is publicity without adding environmental protection products, can not detect formaldehyde, VOC harmful substances. The price span of each style of latex paint is also very large, from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan. In a professional latex paint shop, sales staff to reporters to introduce environmental protection products mainly bamboo charcoal factors, clean taste and full-effect anti-formaldehyde paint. One of the non-added cleansing paints is about three times more expensive than the same weight of regular clean paint.
A brand of anti-formaldehyde clean taste five-in-one interior wall paint promotional materials said to have the effect of decomposing formaldehyde, benzene, in addition to the promotional materials to explain the source of formaldehyde mainly from a variety of artificial panels, flooring adhesives used. In some brand brochures often see such labels: VOC (20g/L) or VOC less than equal to 20g/L (self-test value), an industry insider who did not want to be named told reporters, plus the "self-test value" label that is the result of their own manufacturers testing, if consumers question, get professional institutions to detect, even if beyond national standards, merchants have a statement.

There are also some consumers think that as long as there is no pungent taste must be environmentally friendly products, in fact, this is a big mistake, latex paint products are added spices, some spices are just not easy to smell with the nose, this does not mean that the product is environmentally friendly. In addition, latex paint as the name implies is to add latex ingredients of the coating, latex is a chemical glue, so itself contains formaldehyde. Secondly, latex paint is a better effect in the coating, more delicate products, so the product film requirements are relatively high, and latex paint film-forming key depends on VOC or latex content, both of which are less, the other will increase the amount of use. Therefore, for a certain amount of harmful substances focused on the promotion of products, do not blindly think that 100% environmental protection.
some products focus on the introduction of functionality, in fact, the paint products themselves constitute environmentally friendly, it can break down harmful substances? What is the decomposition efficiency? These are the key issues to be explained in the campaign.
industry insiders believe that, according to the wall paint environmental standards, "interior decoration materials

in the limit of harmful substances", for free formaldehyde, wall paint volatile organic compounds and soluble cadmium, soluble mercury and other heavy metals have clear limits. Indices can be environmentally friendly within the standard, but if the product is to be priced with more additional features, it will require consumers to polish their eyes.

After the construction of wall paint, put more plants, do a good job of ventilation and ventilation is also conducive to reducing indoor air pollution. This is the most important and convenient way.
