Latex paint is a water-based paint, and its film performance is much better than that of solvent-based paint. The organic solvent, which accounts for half of solvent-based coatings, is replaced by water here, so the toxicity problem of organic solvents is basically solved by latex paint. Latex paint is made of some polymer aqueous solutions. In addition to water and different types of polymers or safe and harmless polymers, it also contains a small amount of emulsifier and a small amount of unpolymerized free monomers. Free monomers are small molecules that can be volatilized, and there are different degrees of toxicity problems. The concentration of free monomer in environmental protection paint is controlled below 0.65438 0%, and the dosage of additives is 2% ~ 3%. Less than 0.05% to 0. 1%. Generally speaking, high-quality waterborne latex paint is a relatively healthy decorative material. High-quality waterborne latex paint will volatilize a very small amount of toxic substances in the process of drying and curing, but extremely dry waterborne latex paint is non-toxic after drying and curing. It is recommended to buy high-quality brand products, and you can stay safely after a few days of ventilation after construction!
Main advantages of waterborne latex paint:
1, environmental protection: using water as dispersion medium, no organic solvent, no explosion, fire and other dangerous problems during transportation and storage;
2. Convenient construction: brush coating, roller coating and spraying can be used;
3. The coating film has fast drying, good air permeability and good water resistance.
