The new standard of furniture will improve the threshold of furniture paint

Recently, the reporter learned from relevant departments that the new standard for environmental protection testing of furniture (hereinafter referred to as the “new standard”) is being officially promulgated and implemented. The new standard is more strict on the inspection of furniture products such as wardrobes, and also improves furniture. The market entry threshold for lacquer products, the integration of the industry of the furniture lacquer industry, and the purification of the furniture lacquer industry. How will Chengdu furniture enterprises respond to the increase in furniture paint requirements and will affect the production of the company?

"paint" furniture is manufactured to use for at least 45 days

The new standard has improved the market entry threshold for furniture lacquer products, integrated the industry of the furniture lacquer industry, and purified the furniture lacquer industry. The requirements for furniture lacquer have also been improved, and more emphasis has been placed on environmental protection and safety. So what are the specific conditions of using furniture lacquers by major furniture manufacturers in Chengdu?

Nowadays, many furniture brands are basically environmentally friendly panel furniture, and the painting is very rare. Only the expensive wood furniture will be painted. "Now most of the furniture is processed by film processing. After the straw and straw are thinned, the eco-friendly rubber is added. The fiber replaces the wood. The surface is covered with a layer of imported melamine veneer that imitates the solid wood grain, almost no formaldehyde." The stickers of furniture are divided into imported and domestically produced. There are also many glues used, and the workmanship process is very high. “Plate furniture is also long lasting and greener.”

Due to the complicated painting process, the long time to wait for the paint to release formaldehyde, and the cost of solid wood, the consumers who choose solid wood wardrobes are still relatively few. A solid wood wardrobe takes at least 45 days from production to installation. The longest process is baking. “Although the brand's environmentally friendly furniture lacquer is used, it must be completely volatilized in the furniture before it can be delivered to consumers.”

The furniture panels are mainly divided into E1, E0 grade environmentally-friendly solid wood panels, multi-layer panels, etc. The surface of the furniture is basically made of environmentally-friendly veneers, and there is no need to paint. "Formaldehyde is not only in the paint, but also in various parts of the substrate, glue and other furniture." Furniture painting is difficult to ensure the environmental performance of the furniture. The future trend is that environmentally-friendly panel-type furniture is more popular with consumers.

High cost furniture paint will be eliminated

For furniture paint, Mr. Wu, the head of a furniture factory in Xindu District, is not “cold”: “In addition to the high cost, the difference between the effect of painting and filming is relatively large.” Mr. Wu said bluntly that in the future, big companies will Furniture paint will not be used. In addition to some special furniture such as mahogany furniture or solid wood furniture, furniture paint may be slowly eliminated in the future.

He told reporters that painting furniture is not a simple matter. You need to apply a primer and then paint. “In general, companies that use furniture lacquers will divide the time difference between painting and the lacquered area according to the wood characteristics of the furniture. It is not a simple matter to apply it.” He said that the primer is mainly for the reinforcement of paint. Focusing on anti-corrosion and anti-alkaline, while topcoats reflect the smoothness and texture of the surface, but due to the controversy over the release of formaldehyde, coupled with the development of environmentally-friendly veneer technology, the market space for furniture paints is increasing. narrow. “Sometimes we use furniture paint. If the number of paintings is too much, it is likely that formaldehyde and other substances will exceed the standard.”

Mr. Wu said that the lacquering workers also need special training and the labor costs are not low. And the quality of the furniture paint is determined by the paint film. “The quality of the paint is related to the quality of the paint film, and most people now choose environmentally friendly veneers, so we have not used furniture paint except solid wood furniture.” Mr. Wu said, even The new standard imposes stricter requirements on furniture paints and is a small part of our business volume, so it will not have much impact.
