"Oil-to-water" in pain to be wary of "pseudo-water paint"

News: Not long ago, Beijing issued the "Wood furniture manufacturing industry atmospheric pollutant emission standards", which for the wood furniture manufacturing industry put forward the control requirements for atmospheric pollutant emissions, and on July 1 entered the first phase of the standard provisions, it is understood that the standard will be promoted throughout the country. The new standard significantly reduces the maximum allowable emission limits for benzene and particulate matter in wooden furniture, which means that furniture brands are overdoing it from oily paint to more environmentally friendly water-based paint.
for furniture users, many people don't know where water-like paint is.
a sales manager at Doles explained: "Oily paint needs to be diluted or cured with organic solvents, which contain formaldehyde, benzene, xylene and other harmful substances, which can cause serious harm to the human body. Water-based paint is water dispersed, diluted
coating
, characterized by environmental protection and non-toxic, not easy to burn, does not contain benzene, formaldehyde and other carcinogens and heavy metals, the harm to human health is relatively small. "
but for businesses, the current production and use of water-like paint costs are high. Doles said: "Water-based paint is a new product, the output is not high, raw materials are basically imported, expensive." "In addition, water-like paint because of the thin paint film, so it has to be used a few more times to achieve the same effect as oily paint. Brush with oily paint, brush "one bottom two sides" is enough, and water-using paint brush, it is necessary to do "four bottom two sides" or "four bottoms one side", which not only increases the construction process, but also increases the material and labor costs. Therefore, for furniture enterprises, the cost of water-using paint than oily paint increased by 20% to 50%. Industry insiders pointed out that the completion of the transformation from oily paint to water-like paint needs a large amount of money, some of the strength of small, irregular furniture enterprises are likely to be "cleaned out."
but in the face of the new standards, enterprises can only change the production process, from oily paint to water-based paint. "Because furniture is mass production, to change the process is very troublesome, so there is no time for large-scale reform, but can not be changed, the pressure is relatively large." "And some big companies have done or are in the process of making changes. For example, Qumei furniture last year has completed the "oil-to-water" task, it is understood that in order to carry out production line transformation, Qumei in the past few years invested nearly 20 million yuan to be able to take the lead in the use of water-like paint.
the promotion process of water-like paint in the industry, consumers are more concerned about the durability of water-like paint. "Oily paint has poor environmental performance, but furniture that is said to use water-resistant paint is not heat-resistant, scratch-prone, and has poor hardness, leaving a mark on the cup as soon as it burns." Reporters found that such statements are widely circulated among consumers. So, can the quality of water-like paint be guaranteed? Industry insiders believe that compared with the traditional oily paint, water-based paint in the physical properties may be weaker, but not spread so exaggerated, it can fully meet the normal use of consumers.
provincial consumer association decoration supervision station director Yu Tingxi to give consumers an important reminder: "Not all water-like paint is environmentally friendly." "Some businesses may also take advantage of the current trend to claim that their furniture is made with water-like paint. For how to judge the authenticity of water-colored paint furniture, Yan Tingxi gave a proposal, "first look at the ten ring certification, that is, the national environmental mark product certification." If this standard is not met, it is difficult to say whether the water-based paint used is true. In addition, the market quality of water-quality paint commodity unit price is more than oily paint, when the price of water-quality paint products and oily paint products unit price is similar, we must pay attention to the quality of the commodity. ”
