Inorganic coatings are being favored by more and more users for their non-combustible, anti-mildew and non-polluting features, especially after the first use of inorganic coatings in high-quality projects such as subways and high-speed rails to decorate stations, tunnels and ancillary buildings, Inorganic coatings, as an A-level non-combustible material that completely replaces latex paint in the internal construction of high-speed rail and subway, have rapidly expanded to hospitals, schools, museums, exhibition centers, and real estate projects, such as tooling and home decoration, where latex paint is traditionally used.
Since the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, the economic miracle that China's economy is good at overtaking in curves is being reproduced in the field of inorganic coatings. Manufacturers of various inorganic coatings have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain. A large number of "inorganic coatings" that pretend to be fakes have also emerged.
How to judge whether it is a real inorganic paint or a low-quality latex paint pretending to be an inorganic paint. What is the difference between ordinary inorganic paint and high-quality inorganic paint?
To judge whether it is an inorganic paint or a low-quality latex paint, the identification method of one smell, two burnt and three pH values promoted by Simon Company can easily identify it.
Smell: Whether there is a pungent smell, some of them can be sure to be latex paint, high-quality inorganic paint should have no pungent smell and a little lime flavor.
When Simon A+ inorganic coatings were certified for A+ in France, the organic matter emissions (total content of formaldehyde, organic volatiles, VOC, etc.) of the paint film after three days of application were significantly higher The emission of organic matter after 28 days is lower than that of the high-grade latex paint advertised as clean odor on the market, showing the characteristics that high-quality inorganic paint should have - no smell.
Second burning: Dry the paint film that needs to be identified and ignite it with a lighter. It is latex paint that burns, has a pungent smell, and has black smoke. Combustion experiments can prove that high-quality inorganic coatings are extremely safe.
Inorganic paints that partially improve the performance of inorganic paints by adding organic components will be partially burned when burned, with more or less black smoke and pungent smell Produced, high-quality inorganic coatings are non-combustible, non-smoky, and non-irritating.
Third, measure the pH value. Use PH test paper to measure the pH of the paint. The PH value of high-quality inorganic paint is obviously alkaline at around 12, and the PH value of latex paint is neutral or weakly acidic. Inorganic coatings whose properties have been improved in part by the addition of organic ingredients will have a pH midway between that of good inorganic coatings and latex paints.
The high pH value of high-quality inorganic coatings and the characteristics of extremely low organic content are the key points for high-quality inorganic coatings to prevent mildew. Mold cannot survive in an alkaline environment with a high pH value, and mold with extremely low organic matter content cannot absorb nutrients and cannot survive and grow. Simon A+ inorganic coatings can achieve grade 0 mildew resistance and mildew resistance and durability (the highest level) without adding any anti-mold and fungicides, while the mildew resistance and mildew resistance and durability grades with a large amount of anti-mold and fungicides are generally level 1. High-quality inorganic coatings are naturally anti-mildew and sterilizing without adding fungicides and are safer.
There are also obvious differences between high-quality inorganic coatings and ordinary inorganic coatings in terms of opening effect and workability. introduce.
