What should children's furniture buy? The brighter the color, the better? Is solid wood better than sheet? If the formaldehyde does not exceed the standard, it means that the furniture is environmentally friendly. Due to more emphasis on environmental performance and safety, salespeople in the market have different opinions, and even contradictions, many parents are full of confusion when buying children's furniture. Today, we present consumers, salesperson errors or contradictions and consumer confusion, and come to answer, in order to give you some guidance on the purchase of children's furniture.
1. Is solid wood more environmentally friendly than sheet metal?
Solid wood furniture will also be painted, the paint will contain heavy metals, and it is not necessarily environmentally friendly than sheet furniture.
-- A plate furniture salesman
"To tell the truth, I am not very clear. Solid wood (salesman) said that the solid wood is good, the plate (salesman) said that the plate is good, in the end, I really don't know. I feel that the solid wood furniture is still more environmentally friendly than the plate furniture. But because of the solid wood The price is a bit high, I can only choose sheet furniture."
--consumer
"Solid wood furniture is wood color, no paint, it should be environmentally friendly." - Consumer
Experts remind parents to pay attention to the fact that the colorful slab-type furniture must use heavy metal to develop color. When purchasing children's furniture, try to choose a lighter color (for painted furniture).
Answer: The color of the paint is not related to harmful substances.
The more colorful the furniture, the more heavy metals it contains. If it is a wood-based panel veneer furniture, the color of the furniture is the veneer itself, and there is no such thing as heavy metal. For solid wood painted furniture, no matter whether the brush is colorless or colored, as long as it is paint, it will contain heavy metals, regardless of the color depth. For the heavy metal content of the paint, the manufacturer should have a test report, and the consumer can pay attention to the inspection when purchasing.
Water-based paint also contains heavy metals
Water-based paint is actually a water-based wood lacquer, which is a relative concept to paint. In terms of environmental protection, the content of heavy metals such as lead, mercury and chromium in water-based paints is much lower than that of oil-based paints, but there is also a certain amount of heavy metals. From the VOC content, the oil paint contains about 700 grams per liter. The VOC content of the water-based paint depends on the technical level, and its content is more than 200 grams per liter.
Therefore, in terms of environmental performance, water-based paints are indeed much more environmentally friendly. Water-based paints also come in a variety of colors. Whether it is clear oil or mixed oil, the surface contains the same amount of harmful substances, which has nothing to do with the color depth. Even if the use is water-based paint, it is recommended that consumers check the relevant test report when purchasing.
2, low formaldehyde content = environmental protection?
“The low formaldehyde emission of our furniture is definitely environmentally friendly furniture.â€--A salesperson
“Does the newspaper emphasize the formaldehyde content? I think it is environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly, and low formaldehyde content should be environmentally friendly furniture.â€--Consumer
“Looking at the environmental performance of children's furniture, the main concern is the formaldehyde content. It seems that the sales staff can provide the corresponding certificates, so these furniture should be environmentally friendly.â€--Consumers
When asked what kind of environmentally friendly furniture, consumers Wang and Mr. Zhang said so. In their view, children's furniture with low formaldehyde content is environmentally friendly furniture. Parents are not a minority. In the furniture store, the salesmen generally emphasize the formaldehyde content of the furniture when introducing the environmental performance of the furniture. Repeatedly emphasize the low formaldehyde content of furniture, so the environmental performance can be assured. As for environmental performance, other aspects such as benzene, heavy metal lead, etc., most salespeople will not mention.
Answer: Hazardous substances cannot exceed the standard
Environmental protection is only a relative concept, and there is generally no saying about environmentally friendly furniture. For furniture, the state has a corresponding limit standard for harmful substances, and the correct expression should be that the amount of harmful substances released from the furniture is up to standard. In the regulations, the harmful substances contained in the wood furniture are the amount of formaldehyde released and the heavy metal content in the paint; the harmful substances in the fabric furniture are benzene and some volatile organic substances; the harmful substances in the soft furniture such as mattresses are formaldehyde and bacteria; stone furniture There is a requirement for radioactivity.
Although the state has relevant regulations, but the products on the market are not all qualified products, there will still be some non-standard products, once the harmful substances exceed the standard, it will pollute the indoor environment and cause harm to the body. Because children are less resistant, health is more vulnerable. Therefore, when consumers buy furniture, they should not only pay attention to the amount of formaldehyde released, but also pay attention to their harmful substances according to the corresponding furniture materials. If solid wood furniture is generally painted, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the heavy metal content of the paint exceeds the standard. Wood-based panel veneer furniture needs to pay attention to the problem of formaldehyde emission.
3. Is the veneer more environmentally friendly than painted furniture?
The veneer furniture is applied to the surface of the furniture by high temperature and high pressure hot melting, and does not contain heavy metals, so it is environmentally friendly.
In the eyes of many consumers, solid wood furniture does not need to use paint, and the board itself is more environmentally friendly. Therefore, the existence of solid wood furniture must be more environmentally friendly than sheet furniture. But once in the market, the sales staff will explain that the surface of solid wood furniture should also be varnished, and the solid wood furniture will also use adhesive.... . How to understand the environmental performance of solid wood furniture and sheet furniture?
Answer: Solid wood furniture and sheet furniture
Solid wood furniture needs to find out whether it is solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture or solid wood veneer furniture. If it is not natural solid wood furniture, all solid wood furniture panels will also use adhesives, there will also be formaldehyde emission problems; solid wood furniture and board wood combined with furniture, will also involve formaldehyde emission. In addition, such furniture is generally painted, but also consider whether the harmful heavy metal content exceeds the standard.
Because it is generally veneer processing, wood-based panel furniture is the same as solid wood veneer furniture, only consider the amount of formaldehyde released, regardless of whether the harmful heavy metals exceed the standard.
4. The lighter the color, the less harmful substances?
“We use European water-based paint, so the surface is free of heavy metals, so you can rest assured.â€
--A furniture salesman
"I have seen on the Internet that brightly colored homes have the potential to have too much heavy metal. For safety reasons, I may still choose light-colored furniture." - Consumers
Therefore, in terms of environmental performance, water-based paints are indeed much more environmentally friendly. Water-based paints also come in a variety of colors. Whether it is clear oil or mixed oil, the content of harmful substances on the surface is the same, and it has nothing to do with the color depth. Even if you use water-based paint, it is recommended that consumers check the relevant test reports when they purchase.
Most parents are unaware of the fact that paints contain heavy metals in painted furniture. When asked if they contain heavy metals, the salesperson usually emphasizes that the use is European or Australian water-based paint, in line with European or domestic standards, to prove that the furniture surface does not contain heavy metals or heavy metals. 'The surface of our furniture is for children to bite. 'The salesperson said.
Recently, from the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, the province has detected 62 batches of children's furniture, the pass rate is less than 70%.
--A furniture salesman
"I don't understand the difference between veneer furniture and painted furniture. Anyway, the colors are very bright, and environmental protection is not environmentally friendly." - Consumers
Answer: Veneer furniture needs to be investigated for formaldehyde emission
The surface of the veneer furniture is made by hot pressing or gluing such as thin wood or wood grain paper. The color on the veneer is color on wood grain paper and does not contain heavy metals. However, most of these furniture materials are wood-based panels, and it is necessary to pay attention to whether the formaldehyde emission is up to standard.
