Latex paint products, pay attention to the gap

Latex paint is the most popular, the most popular architectural coatings, construction is the development direction of one of the paint. Because of its elegant, fresh decorative effect, non-toxic, odorless and environmentally-friendly features, construction paint an increasingly large, increasingly with international practice. China is building paint from low-grade products to high-end products in transition, in which the rise of latex paint and development credit.

Latex paint our research and development began in the 60s, the real development in the late 70's, in the construction of walls, exterior walls, roof, and other parts of the beginning of large-scale application. Over the past decade in terms of product variety and level of products, production capacity, construction equipment or promote the use of terms such as latex paints have made great progress. In recent years, in particular, the influx of foreign high-quality products, together with a number of large companies propaganda offensive, which greatly raised the profile of the latex paint, latex paint had more to promote development.

First, an overview:

Latex paint, commonly known as latex paint, formally known as synthetic resin emulsion paint is latex-based synthetic resin material, adding color, and fill a variety of additives from the preparation of a class of water-based paint. Only clear its composition in order to distinguish the authenticity of the product in the market. At present, construction coatings market, there is a low price (the price is only 2-3 yuan / kg), but as "high-level latex," "latex-based economy" and other names, good sales momentum. In fact these products are polyvinyl alcohol and even water-soluble resin, such as starch as the main film-forming substances, or not to join a small amount of latex emulsion would be known as name, a fake and shoddy products to the market and cause confusion. Turning to the content of this article does not include such coatings.

Second, latex paint characteristics:

1. Latex paint with water for the dispersion medium, do not pollute the environment, security, non-toxic, non-fire danger, an environmental protection products.

2. Construction of convenience, consumers can conduct their own Brush or roller coated construction, construction tools to clean water.

3. Coating drying quickly, a short construction period. In the appropriate climate conditions, sometimes in the day to complete the construction paint.

4. Decorative, and there are a variety of colors, gloss (matt, matt, semi-light) can choose, fresh decoration, elegant. In recent years, such as the more popular latex paint surface silk, silk coated with matt, smooth feel fine as silk, give room to create a warm atmosphere.

5. Maintenance, just to change the color of the original coating, separate treatment, brushing your new latex paint. In developed countries, Europe and the United States, brushing his hands-on latex paint to change the color of housing has become a kind of family fun.

While the latex paint decorative than wallpaper, dado wood, wood veneer, soft pack, and other decorative materials, as appears to be luxury, style, but it is more suitable for home decoration and comfortable, warm. Therefore, latex paint room wall decoration is an ideal material.

Third, the gap between different products:

At present, construction of China's paint market, competition, foreign latex paint products into China one after another, not only brings foreign advanced technology, it also brings a wealth of marketing experience. This is the domestic market, although it is not a small impact, but also promoted the domestic level of latex paint. Latex paint products at home and abroad of what difference will it make? To highlight the advantages of foreign products is one of the "effect of open cans of" good. Open the package, gives a good impression, the appearance of fine, rich, like paint, high-viscosity and uniform and has good mobility; another advantage of the construction, brushing each square meter area, cover Strong, smooth coating without Shuahen, soft colors, decorated the overall good results.

Latex paint domestic product, selected from a synthetic resin emulsion and its preparation of the paint film performance point of view, with the same products abroad, some of the properties such as water, pollution-resistant, and so also better than foreign products. However, "open cans effect" and construction, film appearance there is still a gap. Open the package, often on thin under the thick, and some even have water, soft bottom sediments, it is necessary in order to achieve uniform mixing. Some products from the point of view is the appearance of attention to the issue of thickening, but it affects the mobility of poor construction, Shuahen serious film, not soft colors, the degree of fullness is also poor. See the gap in order to improve the quality. At present, some manufacturers have been using foreign raw materials and other aids to solve the above problem, some manufacturers of latex paint products may be comparable to foreign products. Not only physical properties of the products meet or exceed national standards in the construction performance has also been a qualitative leap, film formation Shuahen little soft color. In addition, the price has more than foreign products advantages, is very promising.

Fourth, the latex paint to identify and determine:

1. Open cans effect, no water, no starch, no rust, mildew-free.

2. Construction of effective and non-Shuahen, roller marks, brushing unit area, a good hiding power. Hiding power means that the coating evenly brushing the wall in the face of it, so that it no longer has the background color of the minimum amount, in grams / square meter, said. The smaller the value, the better to show less use per unit area. The original national standard GB9756-88 "synthetic resin emulsion paint walls," the standard for ≤ 250 g / m, the use of indicators to be able to calculate the required area of paint brushing usage. 3. Powder coating can not, there are water stains can be scrubbed. This requires a certain film wash-resistant, the national standard GB9756-95 "synthetic resin emulsion paint walls," a requirement that qualified for goods not less than 100 first-class goods not less than 300. Some products that wash-resistant coating of up to 2000 times change, some products, only a few wash-resistant, coating damage will occur. 4. Fa Hua color film does not soft. To judge the quality of latex paint should be based on comprehensive analysis of the performance, comments, and should not be based on a performance to a conclusion. Latex paint should be based on the consumer's choice to be the decoration of the room use, towards, and the size of the budget for the renovation costs to different species and different colors.

In the choice of latex paint should pay attention to the following questions:

A, as far as possible selection of brand names or product brand, for the same products marked with the logo of the State Environmental Protection Products, preference should be given. The manufacturers of these products on a large scale, high-yield, strict management, product quality guaranteed.

B, in the packaging of latex paint on the barrels there should be a trademark, manufacturer name, date of production, such as the weight of the more important identification and data.

C, the best building materials in the mall or store to buy these business-oriented than the purchase of goods and channels of credit, more assurance of product quality. Do not yield to the temptation of cheap, in the grocery store, buy some cheap products.

D, check whether there is a moldy latex paint, rust, a serious water or a special smell.
