'Before the renovation, our family sat together and discussed whether we should choose solid wood furniture. Because we had children at home, we looked A lot of news about the impact of formaldehyde on children's health, choose plate furniture is really not assured 'Mr. Zhang told reporters.
Mr. Zhang is a businessman who has opened a curtain shop in Beijing and his family. “Although I was selling curtains myself, but you asked me to study plates, it was really a brainstorm. Instead of spending time studying how to choose It's not as easy as choosing solid wood furniture, but it's more reliable. So in the end our family decided to choose solid wood furniture.
During the random inspection, the reporter learned that: As Mr. Zhang thinks that there are many users of solid wood furniture that are environmentally friendly, but solid wood furniture really depends on it? The reporter inquired about a wood furniture manufacturer with a higher sales volume.
'Solid wood itself is not polluted, but whether or not it is environmentally friendly depends on what paint is painted on the outside of the furniture! There are three types of common wood paints: water-based paints, oil-based paints and wood wax oils. Their common function is to make furniture change. Beauty and protection of furniture, to reduce external damage. But most of the solid wood furniture on the market are coated with oily paints.

We chose many shops on the Internet and saw Xi He. It's very curious, because his home page reads water-based paint. As for what water-based paint is, I was also at a loss. 'Mr. Li told reporters.
'My wife and I started to search the Internet to find out about water paint. I learned that it was more environmentally friendly than oil paint because I wanted to be environmentally friendly.

But with the attitude of being unable to return the goods, I still chose to wait. Finally, I was very pleased to open the box. I didn't feel a little stimulating, and the measurement was qualified. I don’t quite understand the meaning of water paint, but it is really right.
After interviewing Mr. Li and checking the user’s evaluation of Xihe, it seems that the sales are good or there are reasons. After all, the water-based paint has a higher environmental protection coefficient. What is water-based paint? Let Xihui come and answer the consumption. Doubters.
'Waterborne paint is simply an environmentally friendly paint that uses water as a diluent. It does not add any organic solvents, so it does not volatilize harmful substances such as formaldehyde and lead. It is more environmentally friendly than oil paint, but it is now confusing on the market. Many businesses They said that they are using green paint, but they are actually oil paints.
