In the cumbersome decoration process, latex paint is not the most expensive main material , nor is it the most important thing . However, for decoration owners, , latex paint is the most concerned about .
In fact, this is due to people's fear of "paint" pollution. The paint used to be so pungent that when people talk about "paint", they are conditioned to "pollution".
As a master who has been engaged in painter for 20 years, what I want to tell you is that in fact, wall decoration has long prohibited the use of oil-based paint . Now it is replaced by water-based latex paint . Not only is the environmental protection greatly enhanced, even the smell can give you a floral fragrance.
In actual decoration, many people have only a little understanding of latex paint and have stepped on many pitfalls. In fact, there are also some considerations in the purchase of latex paint. Therefore, in this issue, the painter
01｜What is latex paint? What are the characteristics?
Many people know latex paint, but they only know about this thing, but they don’t know about it. Therefore, first of all, let’s briefly introduce what latex paint is.
The so-called latex paint is actually a paint that is based on synthetic resin emulsion , and is combined with pigment, filler, various additives , etc., and is dispersed in water together. Therefore, it is a type of water-based paint .
Thanks to the performance of synthetic resin emulsion, latex paint has the characteristics of fast film formation speed, strong shielding, strong adhesion, and easy cleaning .
It can add a layer of "protective film" to the wall like a mobile phone film, making the wall smooth and smooth, presenting a gorgeous color.
. According to purpose, coating, gloss, wall , etc., latex paint can actually be subdivided into various categories.
But for decoration novices, in addition to the choice of gloss, walls and coatings, the latex paints on the market in generally have the purpose effect of N+1 type of , so there is no need to deliberately choose.
02｜Why does latex paint produce volatile substances?
Generally, after the latex paint is applied at home, the painter will advise the owner to ventilate more, and it will take at least 3 months to move into the new home, because latex paint will produce volatile substances. (Volatile substances are VOC, which are harmful substances, including benzene, toluene , styrene , formaldehyde , etc.)
Then the question is, why does latex paint produce volatile substances?
In fact, the principle is very simple. As mentioned earlier, latex paint is an paint , pigment, filler, plus a large amount of additives and .
, a large number of additives (, such as thickeners, film-forming additives, dispersants, etc., are the main sources of , volatile organic compounds VOC, .
latex paint additive that makes people scared of talking, can't we just use it?
Here I want to tell you the truth about : " additive is an indispensable part of latex paint ". It can improve or impart some properties to the paint, such as scrubbing resistance, contrast ratio, paint film toughness, adhesion, scrubbing resistance, etc., to improve the quality and performance of latex paint.
But you don’t need to talk about additive , color change , because generally speaking, the amount of additives will not be too much, and must comply with the "GB18582-2008 Standard", the content of should be ≤120g/L.
When the latex paint is painted on the wall, the latex paint will gradually dry from wet film to form a film . During the drying process, the moisture will evaporate, and various additives will also gradually evaporate.
After the painted wall is formed, only lotion + pigment + filler , etc. are left. Therefore, what the painter said is really right. It is completely fine to move in after ventilation + move in after 3 months.
03｜Why is the price of latex paint so different?
Since additives will evaporate, why are the prices of latex paints on the market so different? There are one or two hundred cheaper one or two thousand expensive ones.
In fact, the price difference lies in the ratio of various components . For example, the filler content of low-end latex paint will be much higher, and the filler proportion is too high, which can easily reduce the wall's rubbing and washing resistance.
and the lotion content of high-end latex paint will also be higher. Moreover, the content of the emulsion directly affects the performance of latex paint. Here we have to tell you the truth: "The higher the emulsion content of latex paint, the better the effect of forming the paint film ".
04｜Is it definitely better to import latex paint?
Many people will habitually spend more money when decorating and purchase imported latex paint. It is undeniable that foreign environmental protection and safety standards are indeed higher.
However, many major brands are imported from original products. In fact, is not produced abroad at all, or latex paint that is popular abroad may not pass foreign environmental protection standards. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone pay attention to the identification.
Another issue needs to be considered, that is "Universality of latex paint" . The so-called universality, in simple terms, is that different environments will also have an impact on latex paint.
For example, it is not necessarily practical to get latex paint in the south. The climate in the south is humid. The latex paint will add more anti-mold additives . The climate in the north is cold, and more antifreeze additives will be added.
05｜How should latex paint be selected?
Here I would like to tell you the truth about latex paint: "H expensive latex paint is not necessarily easy to use, but good latex paint is definitely not cheap ."
As decoration owners, we should be more concerned about three issues of latex paint:
❶ environmental protection grade meets the standards
In fact, we have a simpler judgment standard for choosing latex paint, which is to look at the environmental certification logo of latex paint to see if it meets the environmental certification mark.
For example, domestic ten-ring certification , it stipulates that the VOC content of latex paint needs ≤≤80g/L, which is 40g higher than the domestic mandatory standard. In addition, there are mainstream certification marks, such as the German Blue Angel certification mark, the US Green Guard certification mark, the Finnish M1 certification mark, the EU Flower Certification Mark , etc.
❷ Is the function of latex paint powerful?
As the saying goes, only if you have both appearance and strength can you be considered a powerful person.
Finally, the choice of latex paint is from beginning to end, is required. If the function is not good, even if it is environmentally friendly, it will be a little bit worse.
So when choosing latex paint, you must consider its resistant to rubbing and washing, covering, stain resistance, antibacteriality, mildew resistance, and other functions.
❸ Brand is also a standard for choosing
From a market perspective, brand is also a standard for us to choose latex paint. The better the brand sales volume, it also means that it has more time, energy and strength to develop technology and products.
As a supporter of domestic products, he has been working as a painter for 20 years. I personally prefer domestic products Meitushi . The moon abroad is not rounder. As a domestic local brand, Meitushi is also unique.
Since its development in 1997, Meitushi has now been promoted to " Top Ten Paint Brands in China ". There are countless honors such as China's top 500 private enterprises and top 500 manufacturing enterprises. It also has 7 production bases, 42 service operation centers, more than 8,100 specialty stores, and more than 50,000 chain distribution stores. What made me experience really fragrant is "antiviral, antibacterial, anti-formaldehyde, environmentally friendly and healthy wall paint" . In the field of environmental protection, it is not only anti-formaldehyde, but also injecting antibacterial and anti-viral concepts into product innovation.
Meitushi Healthy Wall Paint is the best choice for environmentally friendly home decoration in the minds of many painters.
In addition, this new product wall paint also has the advantages of high efficiency and stain resistance, strong mildew resistance, tough and scrubbing resistance of paint film, high hiding strength and other advantages.
It is undeniable that green, environmentally friendly and multifunctional wall paint is indeed the first choice for many decoration owners.
