Water-based paint is more environmentally friendly, but domestic furniture still uses "oil" paint.

Paint is one of the main pollution culprits in the home space. With the development of relevant national standards and the improvement of consumers' environmental awareness, water-based wall paints have been widely used. However, the paint used on the surface of furniture is still dominated by traditional oil-based wood lacquer, which invisibly increases the pollution of the home space, and the environmentally-friendly water-based lacquer furniture is still the “non-mainstream” in the market.

In this regard, industry experts said that the popularity of water-based paint is difficult, in addition to the lack of relevant standards, high cost, complex construction and other issues. Consumers’ current perception of furniture is not in place, and it is also a major obstacle to the development of furniture water-based paints.

The domestic penetration rate of waterborne wood lacquer is low, and it is expected to increase to next year.

According to a data survey conducted by the Beijing Furniture Association in 2012, the water-based wood lacquer in the furniture industry accounted for only 8.3%. Yao Ruolin, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Changjiang Furniture, said that according to relevant investigations, the penetration rate of foreign waterborne wood coatings is more than 60%.

Zhu Yanan, general manager of the Waterborne Wood Coatings Division of Carpoly, said that the weather in the north is dry, which is more conducive to the use of water-based paint. The southern market is more complex than the north and there is no definitive statistics. But the goal of the China Coatings Association and the Waterborne Wood Coatings Industry Alliance is to reach 15% next year.

Yao Ruolin told the New Express reporter that waterborne furniture paint is more environmentally friendly than traditional paint. Taking VOC emissions as an example, according to the national standard GB18581-2009, the VOC content per liter of domestic oil paint is 670 grams. The standard for waterborne coatings, GB24410-2004, is 300 grams per liter. "The water-based paints of Jiabaoli, Noodle, and Zhanchen Coatings used by our manufacturers now only have 18 grams, 25 grams, and a maximum of 43 grams. I have calculated that I will reduce the emission reduction by more than 130 tons a year. VOC emissions."

High cost and complicated construction

“If the water-based paint achieves the oily effect, the cost may increase by 80%.” Zhu Yan’an said, however, in addition to the relatively high cost, lack of relevant national regulations, and insufficient enterprise awareness, the construction is complicated and the process is difficult. It is the main reason hindering the popularity of waterborne wood lacquer.

Zhu Yanan said that although the water-based paint has overcome some technical problems and reached the level of paint construction in terms of hardness and fullness, the construction problems are still difficult to solve. When oil paint was used before, it may be possible to achieve this effect on both sides. However, if it is done with water-based paint, it may have to be four sides or four sides, which may increase in terms of craftsmanship. Construction process.

Zhao Wenhua, general manager of the Carpoly Group and general manager of the Group's furniture paint division, added that the lack of water-based paint preparation is also a cause of the difficulty in popularizing water-based paints. Oily coatings now have a lot of equipment, but waterborne coatings don't. Yao Ruolin also said that in order to develop water-based paints, it is necessary to jointly tackle the problem, because water-based paints and oil-based paints are different in construction process. This requires joint efforts of water-based paint manufacturers, manufacturers, and water-based paint equipment manufacturers, according to the characteristics of water-based paints. , design and produce our suitable process and suitable equipment.

Furniture does not have to be full and bright -

Consumers don’t know where they are,

Also affects the development of waterborne furniture lacquer

The paint surface of the furniture must be bright and full, thick and heavy? In fact, it may not be. Consumers' preference for furniture consumption has also become one of the barriers to waterborne wood lacquer.

Zhu Yanan said that the physical properties of water-based furniture lacquers, such as scratch resistance, acid and alkali resistance, hardness, etc., can already achieve the level of paint. Even fullness and brightness can reach a high level. However, to achieve higher fullness, brightness, and hardness, the cost of the construction process and process requirements is higher.

However, the less full-bodied glossy, matte finishes, etc., can also meet the standards and have certain decorative and protective effects. The cost of such a practice is not higher than that of paint. Or the surface of the cabinet is made of a panel with a high degree of fullness, and the panel inside is made of a coating that is not too full, and does not affect the appearance and use. He said that to reduce the cost of using water-based paint, it is more important to how to match the product and construction process to achieve a good balance point.
