With the gradual improvement of living standards, most people no longer hold the idea of "having a house to live in". People invest more and more money and energy in indoor and outdoor decoration to make their homes as comfortable and warm as possible, so that they can live healthily and feel comfortable, and the choice of environmentally friendly paint directly affects the living experience.
So how to judge environmentally friendly paint?
We need to focus on three aspects to distinguish:
1. The total volatile organic compound content VOC of the paint
VOC can pose a direct threat to our environment and health. The VOC content of real environmentally friendly paint is far lower than the national standard and basically does not cause any harm to the human body.
So, does the content of VOC (volatile organic compound) in the paint represent the degree of toxicity in the paint?
This is unscientific and not objective. VOC is only one of the sources of paint toxicity. At the same time, not all VOCs are very toxic. Some inferior paints also contain a large amount of free formaldehyde, benzene, xylene and other substances, which are more harmful to people's bodies.
2. The content of harmful substances
In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers use inferior raw materials to produce coatings. The harmful substances in these coatings seriously exceed the standard and will cause serious harm to the human body.
3. Toxic solvents
Toxic solvents are those solvents that may cause diseases after contact with or inhalation of the human body. Toxic solvents will cause direct harm to production and construction personnel. It is an important indicator of environmental protection.
Therefore, when choosing coatings, we should focus on important factors such as total volatile organic compound content (VOC), harmful substances, and toxic solvents. At the same time, we should try to choose big brands with good reputation and products that meet national standards and environmental standards.
