As people's demands for health and environmental protection continue to increase, the improvement of the indoor environment and the reduction of decoration pollution have become the appeal of many people. More and more families are choosing environmentally friendly new coatings when decorating. At present, the paint industry has completed a revolution in the world. , The new type of water-based paint has reached 70%~80% of the market share in the world, and even more than 90% in developed countries in Europe and America.
High sales of new coatings
Shilihe Building Material Market in Beijing, dazzling paints of various types, I do not know how to choose. Ms. Zhang is preparing to decorate a new house ran a number of building materials market, compared a number of paint brands, and ultimately chose an international brand of water-based paint. He told reporters that customers now have higher and higher requirements for health and environmental protection. Compared with traditional coatings, the sales volume of new coatings is about 30% higher. Traditional coatings need to be diluted with organic solvents and volatile substances such as formaldehyde are volatilized during use. , And mostly monochrome emulsion paint. A salesman told reporters that traditional coatings are currently being neglected, 'no one basically bought.'
Professor Wan Pingyu of the Faculty of Science, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, said that new coatings are generally composed of film-forming substances, pigments, solvents, and additives to form a viscous liquid, in contrast to traditional coatings. They are actually able to adhere firmly to the surfaces of coated objects. Continuity of the film. Now selling new types of coatings on the market are mainly waterborne coatings and diatom mud two categories.
New coating performance is better
Water-based paint is the best new paint on the market. It does not contain toxic substances such as heavy metals, benzene, formaldehyde, etc. It has no irritating odor, is harmless to the human body, does not pollute the environment, and is bright and translucent in color, and also waterproof and wear-resistant. , Fast drying. Its widely used, can brush in wood, metal, plastic, glass, wall and other materials.
Diatom mud is also very popular in the home improvement market because it has a certain adsorption effect on harmful substances, and it has better overall environmental performance, but the price is relatively high. Diatom mud is mostly used in the TV background wall of living room in home decoration, bedroom The bedside background wall can be painted in stripes, pockmarks and other different shapes, artistic high, more beautiful. However, after coating, the wall is uneven, more difficult to clean, easy to accumulate dust.
These two types of coatings have the following three advantages: 1. Health and environmental protection. Waterborne coatings, diatom mud is more the use of natural ingredients, basic no formaldehyde and other toxic substances, no irritating odor, in line with consumer health, environmental protection Requirements, diatom mud and purification. 2. Non-irritating odor. Most of the new paint is odorless, or the smell is very small, can be checked immediately after the brush. 3. Superior performance. New paint has strong impact resistance, good toughness , High corner coverage.
Buy Avoid Two Misunderstandings
Wan Pingyu suggested that consumers need to avoid two misunderstandings when buying.
Myth #1: Only value the price. Many people hold the idea of 'a price for a portion of goods'. When buying, the most expensive ones are purchased. As a result, a lot of money is spent. There are also consumers who want to save money. Wall surface quality and environmental protection requirements are not up to standard. Experts suggest that within the scope of the budget, we must pay attention to the quality of the wall paint, choose a regular big brand product or formal channels for purchase. Pay attention to the production date and shelf life of the paint product. It is possible to purchase products that have recently been produced. The labeling of products with the 'China Environmental Label' is also one of the reference standards for purchase. Myth #2: Think of odorless as being environmentally friendly. Many people judge by smelling smells that odorless paint is environmentally friendly. , This is a big misunderstanding. Manufacturers can achieve odorless by using low-taste materials, but odorless does not mean that they are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Professionals judge the environmental protection of coatings by measuring their heavy metals, free formaldehyde and volatile organics. Compound (VOC) indicators meet national standards.
