Nowadays, consumers pay more and more attention to the concept of environmental protection, especially the most valued members of the family. Therefore, even if the price of these "children-only" products is much higher than that of ordinary home building materials, many consumers are still willing to pay.
Precautions for the use of children's room coatings For the decoration of children's rooms, parents should first consider environmental protection and safety to ensure physical and mental health and happy growth.
So, how to choose environmentally friendly building materials? In this regard, experts reminded that children's rooms should be decorated with special paint for children.
The present situation of children's rooms requires that children who produce children's special paint have delicate skin and internal organs and are in a high-speed growth period. Therefore, "environmental protection" must be the first requirement for children's rooms and activity places.
From April to June last year, the activity of "Investigation on Indoor Environmental Pollution in Children's Rooms" was a special investigation on the indoor air quality of children's living environment in this city.
Through the analysis of indoor air testing data of 398 children's rooms, we found that 95.3% of the children's rooms surveyed had excessive formaldehyde concentration in the indoor air. 24.8% of children's rooms have benzene exceeding the standard.
It is pointed out that the air pollution in children's rooms poses a great threat to their health.
In view of children's physical characteristics, all developed countries in the world have special coatings for children, and decoration companies are also used to using children's coatings in children's rooms without special reminder.
Therefore, the development of children's special paint is the demand of our parents and the whole society.
Children's special paint is the main feature. The special paint for children is 1 according to the characteristics of children. Does not contain heavy metals, preventing heavy metals from entering children.
Children are used to scratching and biting, and heavy metals will enter the body through the skin and mouth, causing harm to the body.
2. Children's special paints are all prepared with clear water, which cuts off the toxic route of benzene chemical solvents to children from the root.
3. The content of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in children's special glue paint < 1g/L tends to zero, commonly known as "zero VOC" internationally.
4. The paint surface is smooth and colorful.
The process of children's paint is particularly strict, the quality is generally higher than that of ordinary paint, and the color is particularly rich, which is suitable for children's love of color.
Painting the room with special paint for children is not only extremely environmentally friendly, but also rich in colors, giving children a clean and pleasant growth space.
Overcoming the obstacles of using children's special paint, children all over the world strongly recommend using children's special paint in children's room decoration.
However, there are still obstacles in forming healthy consumption habits in China.
One of the obstacles is high cost.
Because of the high technical quality requirements, the price of children's special paint is slightly higher than that of general products; The second obstacle is that more time is needed.
There are two sets of different products from use to use, and many decoration companies will find it troublesome.
However, this is very important. Parents are advised to insist on using children's paint when painting children's rooms.
Of course, if the whole house is painted with children's paint, then its environmental protection performance is impeccable.
Consumer psychology Many consumers spend money to buy peace of mind, but how to protect the environment is "no concept".
There are too many reports that formaldehyde and benzene in furniture and decoration materials exceed the standard, which makes people afraid. Many consumers prefer to spend more money to ensure the environment at home.
As for the paint for painting the room, Ms. Zhou, who lives in Tongzhou, began to prepare for the renovation of the new house. She even admitted that the whole family used children's paint, even if she spent more money, it didn't matter. "The air will flow. If the paint in a room is not well used, the air quality in that room will also be affected.
She thinks that the quality of "children-only" things is more secure.
As for the specific degree of environmental protection of children's paint, is it worth spending more money? Ms. Zhou said that "there is no concept". "Since it is a special paint for children, it should be the most environmentally friendly, and the salesperson introduced it like this.
Actually, I don't quite understand it either. I always feel that cheap is not good, and it is more reassuring to buy expensive ones.
"
The market raised prices and visited several home improvement shops in the city. The reporter found that most coating brands have introduced special coatings for children, and the price is generally one or two hundred yuan higher than that of ordinary coatings.
A brand of bamboo charcoal full-effect children's paint costs 635 yuan for a bucket of 5 liters, and the same specification of bamboo charcoal full-effect wall paint only needs 460 yuan, with a difference of 175 yuan.
When the reporter asked about the difference between the two paints, the shopping guide said: "The VOC (volatile organic compounds) content in children's paints is extremely low, which can withstand repeated scrubbing. Bamboo charcoal can also adsorb and decompose harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene.
When the reporter asked about these functions in the introduction of wall paint, the shopping guide said that children's paint has stronger functions and higher components.
As for which ingredients are higher, the shopping guide did not give a clear answer.
The reporter also asked whether these two kinds of coatings have their own national standards.
The shopping guide said that in fact, these two kinds of paints meet the same national standard.
Guangsheng Song, director of the Indoor Environment Monitoring Committee of China Interior Decoration Association, introduced that the coating products are divided into interior wall coating, exterior wall coating and wood paint. According to the coating position, it is divided into water-based coatings and solvent-based coatings according to the form.
No matter which classification method, there is no category of children's paint or children's paint.
"The detection of unqualified products refers to the general national standard" Limits of harmful substances in interior coatings for interior decoration materials "revised in 2008, and no specific standards are put forward for the environmental protection coefficient of children's coatings.
"For the various names such as children's paint, wedding room paint and pregnant women's paint appearing in the market, Guangsheng Song thinks that they belong to corporate behavior, which is the business philosophy of merchants to seize the psychology of consumers, and does not rule out the possibility of speculation.
