the growth of children is an issue that all parents attach great importance to. The primary consideration of consumers in the selection of decoration materials is the health and safety of their families (especially children)
when facing the painting schemes of many brands, many people are very confused, because the children's paint on the market now boasts environmental protection and pollution-free, which makes parents who have no knowledge of the children's paint brand at a loss
in fact, can the environmental protection and safety advocated by the business brand really stand the test? Obviously not! A group of children's paints with a price much higher than that of ordinary paints, in fact, there are also paints that do not meet the standard or even exceed the standard
water paint found the answer from the recent evaluation of harmful substances of nine popular children's paint products.
the results showed that the nine children's paints tested met the requirements of the mandatory national standard and were qualified products. However, free formaldehyde was detected in a sample of red apple. Taking the recommended national standard of children's paint as a reference, the sum of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene in Fenlin sample exceeded 80%; The VOC detection value of a sample of classic paint exceeds 60%
water paint learned that the samples tested this time were children's paints with high sales volume and high popularity in the current market. The testing organization responsible for the implementation of the evaluation: SGS General Standard Technical Service Co., Ltd. the reference standards for the testing items of soluble metal elements, free formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds VOC, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene are: GB "limits of harmful substances in interior wall coatings of interior decoration materials" and gb/t "interior wall materials for children's room decoration"
then, what is the specific situation of the merchants' brands that have problems in this evaluation? Water paint was also inquired about, and the identification results are as follows:
free formaldehyde was detected in a sample of red apple
free formaldehyde was detected in a sample of full effect children's paint (5L) of red apple, and the detection value of free formaldehyde was 24 mg/kg
formaldehyde will cause acute irritation to skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract mucosa, causing some discomfort symptoms. Such as dry skin, dermatitis, tears, red eyes, itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, etc. Children, pregnant women, the elderly and chronic patients are vulnerable to indoor air pollution
Red Apple's response: the detection of formaldehyde in children's paint is determined by raw materials
Mr. Yan, head of red apple brand sales department, said that the main sources of pollution in home decoration are glue and furniture paint. All children's paint on the market contains some formaldehyde, which is determined by raw materials such as lotion, calcium carbonate, talcum powder, titanium dioxide and so on. The formaldehyde detection value of this children's paint product is 24 mg/kg, far lower than the mandatory national standard limit value of 100mg/kg, which is a qualified product
according to the product introduction of the red apple official, this red apple sample (full effect clean flavor children's paint, content 5L) "does not contain formaldehyde", "ultra-low VOC", but also "purifies formaldehyde"
the benzene series of a children's painting children's paint sample of Fenlin exceeds the standard by 80%
the total detection value of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene in the sample of Fenlin paint (children's painting children's paint, net content 2.7L) is 109mg/kg. According to the recommended national standard of children's paint, the limit of the total sum of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene is 60 mg/kg, and the sample of Fenlin exceeds the standard by about 0.8 times
in order to meet some performance requirements, the addition of excessive solvents is the main cause of benzene homologues exceeding the standard. Due to production and domestic pollution, benzene homologues can be widely detected in human living and living environment. It is worth noting that benzene homologues are more difficult to decompose than formaldehyde, and the treatment cost is higher
Fenlin's response: customer service said it would report the situation, but did not respond
when water paint called the official of Fenlin's brand side (digurila (China) coating Co., Ltd.), customer service said at that time that it would report the situation and contact relevant personnel for feedback, but no relevant reply has been received so far
the VOC detection value of classic paint xiaotiancai anti formaldehyde children's paint exceeds the standard by 60%
the VOC detection value of classic paint sample (xiaotiancai anti formaldehyde children's paint 5L) is 16g/L. According to the limit requirement of 10 g/l in the recommended national standard for children's paint, the VOC detection value of classic paint samples is 1.6 times that of the national recommended standard, exceeding 60%
when the VOC in the room reaches a certain concentration, people will feel headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. in a short time, and in serious cases, they will have convulsions and comas, and will damage the human liver, kidney, brain and nervous system, resulting in serious consequences such as memory loss. The paint used in the process of home decoration is one of the main sources of indoor VOC, so countries have limited the VOC content in paint and other decoration materials
running noise reduction
classic paint response: the product has been on sale before the release of the recommended standards
Mr. Huang, the person in charge of brand promotion of classic paint, responded: the product was officially launched on March 28, 2017, while the recommended national standard of children's paint was released in November 2017, that is, the relevant recommended standards were released after the product was launched. According to the two inspection reports of the product provided by the enterprise, the detected values of volatile organic compounds are 5g/l and 10g/l respectively, far lower than the mandatory national standard limit of 120g/L. After the release of the recommended standard, the interior of the classic paint has also been stepping up research and development, trying to reduce the detection value of volatile organic compounds of the product to a lower level, meeting the requirements of the children's paint limit standard of 10g/l
appraisers said that the recommended national standard for children's paint requires less harmful substances
the two standards on which this comparative test is based are the mandatory national standard and the more stringent recommended standard for children's paint. The test results showed that the nine children's paint samples passed the compulsory national standard and met the most basic test requirements. However, some products do not meet the limit requirements of the recommended national standard for children's paint. Compared with children's paint push, it is recommended that the plastic reach the ideal strength, toughness and maintain good degradation characteristics. The VOC of a sample of classic paint is 1.6 times the limit value; The sum of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene in Fenlin sample exceeded the limit by about 0.8 times
what is the difference between these two standards? Water paint further learned that the recommended national standard for children's paint is the first specific environmental protection standard set for children's wall paint, mainly for the interior wall decoration of children's rooms, kindergartens and other children's activity places
according to Dr. Lu Zhou, chemical technology manager of SGS light industrial products testing service in South China, the recommended national standard for children's paint puts forward higher requirements for environmental protection projects than the mandatory national standard for interior wall paint. In terms of restricted substances, the requirements for the content of ethylene glycol ether and its esters, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and asbestos have been increased, and the types of soluble heavy metals have also been increased from 4 to 8. And in terms of the limit indicators of related substances, the recommended national standard for children's paint requires less harmful substances
identification: most of the interior wall coatings used for interior decoration are water-based paints
we know that free formaldehyde, VOC, benzene homologues, etc. belong to solvents, and solvent based coatings have always been a problem prone area. According to shenhonglin, senior engineer of the National Center for paint of Guangdong Academy of quality inspection, the state also encourages the use of water paint in furniture painting, and taxes will be increased when the content of volatile organic compounds in oil paint exceeds 420g/L
for the identification of water paint, the most intuitive method is to confirm through the outer packaging. For example, when the temperature is 29 ℃, the product type is not directly indicated on the fruit outer package, you can see whether the diluent component is indicated on the product label, and whether it has increased the support for vulnerable groups; A series of diverse and colorful cultural and sports activities, such as the staff games, were held to judge for water; If the diluent is not indicated, you can see the ingredient list on the label. Generally speaking, water accounts for a large proportion in the composition table of water paint. If the proportion of toluene, xylene and other organic solvents is large, it is generally solvent type. At present, under the general trend of vigorously promoting the development of water paint, it can be said that most of the interior wall coatings used for interior decoration are water-based
is children's paint fried or really environmentally friendly
many people think that indoor air is circulating, and painting children's paint in children's room alone can't solve the problem of air pollution. In contrast, the price of children's paint is generally expensive, and they think that children's paint is speculation
the recommended national standard for children's paint "interior wall materials for children's room decoration" is the first specific environmental protection standard set for children's wall paint. The recommended national standard not only stipulates the content of volatile organic compounds, but also stipulates soluble heavy metals, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, asbestos, etc. that may be in contact with children, with higher requirements. We can't simply think that air is circulating and can't solve the problems of air pollution
many consumers use their noses to judge whether building materials are environmentally friendly. Is this a scientific approach? In fact, there are often many toxic substances without taste, and no taste cannot represent safety. On the contrary, smell does not mean danger. For example, many users will regard rosin as the taste of chemicals, and smelling it with their nose can only be used to feel whether it is suitable for them. Therefore, as long as these are subjective judgments, not professionals, it is difficult to define their correctness
water paint also listened to the opinions of Xu Xiao, the author of the popular science book on children's environmental education, "building a growing children's room from scratch". He said that the premise for the existence of children's paint is the different effects of indoor wall paint on children and adults. For example, children's respiratory tract is more fragile and sensitive than adults. If children's room wall paint is developed to improve these specific children's specific effects, it can be called children's paint in the real sense, At present, it is mainly the advantage indicators of each product and enterprise in the special field
to sum up, when choosing painting products, consumers can only trust the selected merchants first, then check the packaging, instructions and ingredient list from the products recommended by the merchants, and finally choose according to the price
we often say that you get what you pay for. Buyers of expensive products are seeking psychological reassurance, but don't think expensive products must be safe. Sometimes they have to see it more clearly before they can buy really environmentally friendly and safe products
