Why is latex paint much better than solvent-based paint?
Latex paints are water-based coatings that offer superior film performance compared to solvent-based paints. A significant portion of the solvents used in traditional paints is replaced by water, making latex paint a safer and more environmentally friendly option. This substitution largely reduces the toxicity associated with organic solvents.
The composition of latex paint typically includes polymer emulsions, water, and small amounts of emulsifiers, along with trace amounts of unreacted monomers. While these free monomers are volatile and can be harmful in high concentrations, modern eco-friendly paints have managed to keep their levels below 0.1%. The overall amount of additives is usually between 2% and 3%, with some products containing as little as 0.5% to 0.1%. However, low-quality or counterfeit latex paints may contain free monomers and additives far exceeding safe limits, posing serious health risks.
It is safe to use well-known brands like Nippon Dulux and Dulux, which meet strict environmental standards. Today, the market offers a wide range of latex paint brands, both domestic and international, with intense competition. Among the top domestic brands, Red Lion and Kelan are recognized for their quality and reliability. On the international side, brands such as Dulux, Nippon Paint, and Laiwei Paint are popular choices. These products are generally highly washable, with some capable of withstanding over 2000 washes.
If an imported brand claims to be a "green product," it should display an official certification mark on its packaging, such as the German "Blue Sky" label. For domestic products, the phrase "China Environmental Labeling Product Certification Committee certified product" must appear on the packaging to qualify as a "green product."
