Update time:2022-10-25

Coatings can not only protect the wall well, but also have a gorgeous decorative effect. When renovating old walls at home, more and more people like to buy a few buckets of paint by themselves and paint the walls they love with their families. So, in the process of renovating the old wall and DIY painting the wall, what misunderstandings should the rookie pay attention to avoid?

Misunderstanding of choosing paint for old wall renovation: differentiating concepts

When it comes to buying paint, the market will encounter various key concepts, but it is not clear that everyone really knows what these terms and concepts are, and they are accidentally fooled.

Zero VOC is the best? NO!

Well, VOC is an important indicator of the environmental protection of coatings. Generally speaking, the lower the better, there are also a bunch of products claiming zero VOC on the market. But! Yes! When the VOC content is reduced, the viscosity of the paint will also be relatively reduced. Powder falling, blistering, and cracking will occur one after another after painting. As long as you add water to it, you can do it! In fact, there is a national standard for the VOC content of paint that is harmless to the human body. Only when the standard is met can it be put on the market, so there is no need to pursue the VOC content too much.

Odorless is environmentally friendly? NO!

Everyone knows that a paint with a pungent smell must be a defective product, so a product with no special smell means that it has passed the environmental protection test? Of course it is not enough. In fact, the paint can be made odorless by adding flavors or low-odor materials, so odorless paint is not completely environmentally friendly and non-toxic. The key is to look at the test report of the authoritative certificate and the formaldehyde test data!
