How to choose high-quality latex paint?

Myth 1: Pay attention to price and ignore quality.

When many people buy wall paint, it is easy to go into the misunderstanding that price is more important than quality. Some people think that the higher the paint price, the better, so they choose the most expensive one, but the experimental results show that this is not the case. On the other hand, in order to save money, the lower the price, the better, saving a lot of money, but the wall quality and indoor environment are worrying in the future. Therefore, it is suggested that you pay attention to the quality of wall paint as much as possible after considering the price, and generally choose a big brand with good reputation.

Myth # 2: Pay attention to packaging, but ignore the inside.

When consumers buy latex paint, it is very necessary to look at the packaging often. However, it should be noted that the packaged coating is not necessarily of excellent internal quality. In order to attract customers, some manufacturers make a big fuss about the packaging of products, deliberately exaggerating the performance and efficacy of products. Therefore, consumers are advised to pay attention to other aspects besides the product packaging, such as the detailed inspection list of the product.

Myth 3: The color card is exactly the same as the wall color.

Many consumers think that the color of paint on the color card is exactly the same as that on the wall, which is a misunderstanding. Because of light reflection and other reasons, after all the four walls of the room are painted, the wall color will look darker than the color card. The color that consumers see on the color card is usually different from the actual color of the paint on the wall. Therefore, it is suggested that when consumers choose colors in color cards, it is best to choose their favorite color number with a slightly lighter color. If they like dark walls, they can adjust them to the same color as the selected color card.

Myth 4: Don't estimate the amount of paint in advance.

Many consumers did not estimate the amount of paint in advance, fearing that they would buy less, and the more they bought, the better. This may cause waste of materials, increase the cost of home improvement, and at the same time, excessive paint accumulation will also have a certain impact on construction safety. Therefore, it is suggested that consumers must see the area of the building area clearly before construction, so as to estimate the amount of materials to be purchased. A relatively simple method to estimate the amount of paint is: the amount of paint required for a layer of paint (L)= (wall area x2.5)/ coating area per liter.

Myth 5: tasteless and environmentally friendly.

Many people judge the safety of wall paint by smell, and think that low-odor or odorless wall paint is environmentally friendly. This is a big misunderstanding. Because odorless coatings can be achieved by adding essence or using low-odor materials, not all odorless coatings are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. The most professional way to judge the environmental protection of wall paint is to see whether its environmental protection index meets the standard. There are three key environmental indicators of wall paint: VOC, free formaldehyde and heavy metals.

In the decoration, as long as it is related to the wall, everyone can't do without latex paint, which is a kind of paint. Coatings are generally divided into water-based paints and oily paints. Latex paint is a water-based coating. It is mainly used for painting the interior and exterior walls of families, and it is the most contact with consumers. Latex paint on the market is really dazzling, with different brands, specifications, grades, functions and colors.

In terms of price, the 5-liter package ranges from tens of yuan to four or five hundred yuan; Functionally, latex paint is more "full effect" from scrubbing resistance, covering cracks to mildew prevention and antibacterial; In terms of color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, whatever color you want, the palette can help you adjust it. For consumers, buying or painting is very troublesome. Quality, environmental protection and price should be taken into account. Here, Chengdu Ruili Jiazhuang puts forward the following suggestions for everyone to choose and buy. I hope everyone can feel more at ease when purchasing latex paint and feel more comfortable during construction.

Looking at the purchase of latex paint in the market through comparative experiments, consumers may be most concerned about environmental protection and price. The most important environmental protection index of latex paint is the content of volatile organic compounds (VOC). According to the national standard, the VOC content in each liter of latex paint should not exceed 200 grams. In order to facilitate consumers to purchase latex paint, China Consumers Association, together with consumer associations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Sichuan, conducted a comparative test on 83 kinds of latex paint products for interior walls.

Brand paint is more environmentally friendly. From the published results, the environmental protection performance of latex paint basically meets the standard, and the volatile organic compounds (VOC) and soluble heavy metals contents of all samples meet the national standards. Only one sample has formaldehyde content exceeding the upper limit of national standard. Because the 83 samples used in the experiment were all purchased from 19 building materials markets or supermarkets in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou, covering major international and domestic well-known brands and local brands, as well as products of the same brand with different price points. Therefore, consumers who pay attention to environmental protection can give priority to buying brand latex paint. The higher the price, the better the performance. According to the test results, the price problem that consumers care about is not that the higher the price, the better the performance index. The price of latex paint varies greatly in the market, with 83 samples ranging from 7 yuan to 1 17 yuan per liter. Compared with the highest-priced samples per liter 1 17 yuan and the samples with a price of 63.5 yuan per liter, there is no big difference in the test results of environmental protection, hiding power, pollution resistance and mildew resistance. However, there are some advantages and disadvantages in the comparison of performance indicators between the two commodities with large unit prices.

When purchasing this kind of products, we should take good cost performance as the purchasing standard. Consumers should choose latex paint with corresponding characteristics according to the different functions of the room. For example, it is best to choose products with good mildew resistance in bathrooms and basements, and products with good stain resistance and scrub resistance in kitchens and bathrooms; Choosing latex paint with certain elasticity is conducive to covering cracks and protecting the decorative effect of walls; Choose a multifunctional product that suits you. In addition, through inspection, it is also found that the properties of coating products are closely related and may even restrict each other. For the popular multifunctional products in the market, the single performance may not be outstanding, but the comprehensive performance is generally good.
