People's recognition has also made people's demand for green and environmentally friendly hotel furniture stronger and stronger. An important point in green and environmentally friendly hotel furniture is water-based paint furniture. Water-based paint is harmless to the human body and does not pollute the environment. The paint film is plump, crystal clear, flexible, and has the characteristics of water resistance, wear resistance, aging resistance, yellowing resistance, fast drying, and easy use. This also makes water-based paint furniture the darling of the furniture industry; let's take a look at how Lecong Hotel Furniture Factory teaches us how to distinguish these two types of paint:
1. Water-based paint does not have the pungent smell of oil-based paint
Water-based paint is a paint that uses water as a diluent. It does not contain toxic metals such as benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, etc. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, non-flammable, and non-explosive, and its VOC emissions are lower than those of oil-based paint. 1/10 of emissions. Oil-based paints use esters, alcohols, benzene, ketones, etc. as diluents, which contain a large amount of harmful substances and have a strong pungent smell. Therefore, you can tell whether it is water-based paint or oil-based paint by smelling it for the first time.
2. Ask to see the product description and quality inspection report
Because of the popularity of water-based paint furniture, some illegal activities have also occurred. Some water-based paint companies use ethanol instead of water as a diluent. This kind of "pseudo-water-based paint" has a very light smell and is difficult to judge just by smelling it. However, furniture using "pseudo-water-based paint" will turn white once it passes through blisters. Therefore, product descriptions and quality inspection reports are very important. This is an important certificate for the protection of our later rights.
