, with people's in-depth understanding of the hazards of home packaging pollution, more and more eager for truly environmentally friendly and non-toxic home packaging materials. In the face of growing consumer demand, a large number of products under the banner of environmental protection, such as many businesses launched "zero pollution" children's paint. In this regard, the industry told reporters: "the so-called children's
paint
is simply not real, this is also a gimmick, the existence of concept speculation, is the seller's own concept, not worth consumers to pay a high price to buy. According to the introduction, the paint products on the market are generally divided into two categories: according to the brush position can be divided into
built-wall coatings
,
-wall coatings
,
wood coatings
, metal coatings, etc., according to the form can be divided into
water-based coatings
solvent coatings,
powder coatings
and so on. But there is no children's paint, clean taste paint and other product categories. At present, the implementation of the standards on coatings is the 2008 introduction of "interior decoration materials interior wall paint in the limit of harmful substances", which also does not have children's paint-related norms. For some sellers of children's paint "zero pollution" publicity, industry insiders said that any paint contains volatile organic compounds, sellers say is exaggerated propaganda. Reducing pollutant content and even achieving "zero pollution" is the direction of enterprises' efforts, but the industry has not yet reached this level of technology. Whether imported or local paint, it is not possible to zero pollution. Liu Changshan, director of pediatrics at Tianjin Medical University's Second Hospital, said that in recent years, the city's children suffering from asthma and allergic diseases have risen rapidly, and the large use of home decoration decorative materials (such as paint, wallpaper, etc.) has led to an increase in allergens. Industry insiders pointed out that from 2004, some brands have launched "children's paint", after many small brands follow the trend, children's paint into the top environmental protection paint. However, children's coatings are still in the stage of development, in the absence of relevant standards, some unseeded enterprises take advantage of the opportunity to drill holes, harming the interests of consumers. Of course, some big brands of children's paint environmental protection is indeed better than other products, but many small enterprises do not increase costs, do not improve technology, can not guarantee the environmental protection of products, some just cover the smell, labeled "children's paint", the price will be doubled, relying on the concept of simple speculation to deceive consumers. Warm Tip: How to choose environmental protection coatings in the face of fish and dragon mixed paint market, how to choose environmental protection coatings? The editor-in-chief shares four methods for you: First, the indicator method. To buy paint, first of all, to test the technical indicators, such as testing reports to see formaldehyde, VOC and other harmful substances content, which is the paint environmental protection and health indicators. The lower the corresponding index, the less pollutants there are and the more environmentally friendly they are. General coating VOC can not exceed 200g/L, high-grade coating VOC does not exceed 30g/L, the lower the VOC the better. In addition, formal coatings must have ten ring certification marks, which is another basis for identifying whether coatings are environmentally friendly. The second is the observation method. Smelling the
paint
taste is not big, is a lot of layman to judge whether the paint is environmentally friendly the main practice. In fact, this method of judgment is not scientific. Some brands in order to "clean taste" effect, will add flavor to mask unpleasant smells, recommended to choose a light taste or tasteless products. In addition, at the time of purchase, make sure that the product is valid and confirm that the packaging is normal and well sealed. Third, the exclusion method. Try to buy small barrel products. Paint packaging ranges from 5L to 18L, with small barrels of paint about 5L. Small barrels are far more environmentally friendly than large barrel products have become an industry practice. Well-known brand paint products have a lot of "shanzhai products", only in the big stores, building materials supermarkets, brand stores to buy products are more reliable. Fourth, the method of comparison. Multi-comparison, landing on the manufacturer's website to check whether the product is true or false, confirm the registered trademark, commodity name, production site 3 items and manufacturer information is exactly the same. Don't blindly think that imported paint must be good, domestic paint and imported paint in fact the formula is similar, but inside the raw materials imported or domestic, some will add specific effects of additives. Imported brand paint general performance is relatively high, high
titanium dioxide
, high emulsion content, of course, the price is more expensive, in the north with no big problem. But in the south can not be used, the southern moisture is heavier, there are back tide days, it is easy to accumulate water drops, because the grade is too high, paint film breathability is not good. Domestic paint, more suitable for the Chinese market, from low-grade to high-grade, a variety of grades of products have, more selective, but the market brand is too mixed, but also pay attention to comparison, to select.
finally pay attention to, after painting paint must pay attention to ventilation, the best ventilation after a month to stay. Even the so-called "brush-and-live" paint, it is best not to check in immediately. Can also be placed some can absorb harmful substances of flowers, such as hanging orchids, aloe vera and so on.
