The home is equipped with paint selection is the key

As one of the main materials for home decoration, paint accounts for a large proportion in decoration. Therefore, the quality of paint purchased by consumers directly affects the overall decoration effect and the environment of the living room. Sometimes it may even cause serious health problems. Big hazards.

In recent years, due to the mixed construction materials market, some of the harmful substances in the paint such as benzene and xylene have been seriously exceeded, causing ** to the human body. Complaints about the quality of the renovation building materials are also commonplace. Consumers often fall into the following tricks of unscrupulous merchants when they buy paint:

Some unscrupulous merchants use the cult of consumers' external brands to seek profits. They import waste paint or expired products from foreign countries at a very low price. After repackaging them in China, they attach labels to foreign brands. Some international brand name is listed and sold.

Indiscriminately boasting that merchants often drill for consumers’ lack of know-how in coating materials. The most typical case is the five-in-one product that is now prevalent in the industry. In fact, the function of the paint itself, which is mildew-proof, easy-scrubbing, covered with micro-cracks, long-lasting splendour, and fragrant smells, is intentionally expanded. Merchants are only using mold and covering. Functions are selling points, increasing the value of their goods.

After-sales service does not guarantee that many businesses are talking about sales when they sell their products. They don't mention the after-sales service, and many consumers are often confused by the immediate effects. Once purchased and used, if there is a problem such as powder dropping, fading, etc. and then looking for manufacturers, they will be shirked by the manufacturers and will not be resolved.

Therefore, in the face of a mixed market, consumers must maintain a rational consumption mentality and pay attention to the following points when selecting paints:

Environmental-friendly paints contain harmful substances such as VOCs. In general, the lower the VOC content of a paint, the higher its environmental index. Formaldehyde and heavy metal content are also reference factors for the environmental protection of paints. A truly environmentally friendly latex paint should be water-based, non-toxic and odorless, so when you smell a pungent odor or industrial flavour, you can't choose. Of course, some inferior paints also have fragrance, but this kind of smell is just like inferior perfumes. It is very likely that there is a problem of excessive benzene. Benzene is a colorless liquid with a special aroma. Experts call it a “fragrance killer” on the human body. Health has great harm, consumers should pay attention to distinguish when choosing.

Don’t believe that advertising doesn’t rely on advertising data. Pay attention to whether the product complies with the national standard (GB). Look for the 3C logo. The 3C certification mark is white, black 3CCC. Look closely at the three C patterns. The "CCC" secret. When consumers purchase, they should look for the 3C logo or check through the website to identify the true and false. Can not rely on the introduction of the paint shop salesman, to ask the location of the construction site, do not be afraid of trouble, it is best to go to the construction site to observe whether the paint is in line with the standards.

Do not pursue "advanced" blindly

Consumers should choose the appropriate paint according to their needs. Can not blindly pursue an "advanced", not to mention cheap to buy some inferior products.

After-sale protection is critical When buying paint, you must carefully inquire about the quality promise. You can't be confused by the immediate effect the buyer boasts. Ten paint brands are very good after sales. At the same time, at the time of purchase, the “sale guidance” requirement is imposed on the sales staff. Manufacturers who do not have after-sales services generally shirk their arguments with “no need” or “no problem”.
