What is furniture paint? What paint should be used for furniture?

After the furniture is decorated, applying furniture paint on it can not only make the furniture surface smoother and brighter, but also improve the original rough texture of the furniture and make consumers more comfortable and healthy when using it. The wooden furniture we usually buy has been painted when we buy it, but some assembled furniture needs to be painted by ourselves. Let's first look at what furniture paint is and what paint is used for furniture. Let's take a look at Bian Xiao.

1. What is furniture paint?

First of all, let's learn about furniture paint. Furniture paint actually refers to the special paint on the surface of wood and bamboo furniture, also known as wood paint. Furniture paint can make wood and bamboo furniture more beautiful and bright, improve the roughness of furniture itself, not only protect and maintain wood and bamboo furniture, but also make the whole family life more comfortable.

There are many kinds of subdivision of furniture paint, and there are three categories in large ones. Furniture paints can be roughly divided into three categories: PU paints, UV paints and water-based paints. At present, the concept of low-carbon environmental protection is prevalent, and the furniture industry and furniture coating industry are no exception. As an important raw material of furniture industry, the quality of furniture coatings directly affects the low-carbon environmental protection level of furniture industry. In the furniture industry in China, exported furniture accounts for a large proportion. The United States, the European Union and Japan have issued relevant laws and regulations to restrict and prohibit the use of solvent-based wood coatings, which also urges Chinese furniture enterprises to attach importance to furniture environmental protection. Although China's current policy does not explicitly stipulate that solvent-based coatings cannot be used, with the continuous development of technology and the continuous improvement of environmental protection concepts, solvent-based coatings will gradually be replaced by more environmentally friendly products. In the domestic furniture paint market, PU paint still occupies the most important position, and PU paint is also making progress in environmental protection technology, but as a solvent-based paint, it will gradually withdraw from the stage. The fastest developing furniture paint in China is ultraviolet curing paint, which tends to surpass PU. At present, domestic UV coatings can be sprayed almost without solvent, that is, 100% solid content. Although the market share of waterborne furniture paint in China is still very low, its safety and environmental protection is the development trend of furniture paint in the future. With the continuous development of technology, the market share of waterborne furniture paint will be higher and higher.

Second, what paint should be used for furniture?

There are many kinds of furniture paints, each with its own characteristics. Let's have a look.

1, friends who pursue texture can choose. PU paint (polyester paint). Commonly used in the production of high-end furniture such as classical and post-modern. This paint has high permeability and can fully reflect the wood grain texture. Because the wooden duct is completely filled, it achieves a smooth and flat effect, which is often called sealing paint. This kind of paint has high cost, complicated operation, long process and difficult rework, but the paint is easy to clean and water can't enter the furniture through the paint film at all. Strong resistance to all kinds of corrosive substances.

2. If you like retro taste, you can choose NC paint (nitrocellulose paint). NC paint is nitrocellulose paint, commonly known as nitrocellulose paint, which is especially suitable for antique effect, so it is often used in the production of American and British furniture. NC paint often has an open effect, and the catheter on the wood surface is exposed, pursuing a natural effect. NC paint has the characteristics of fast drying time, short working procedure and easy rework. Tianna water, alcohol, etc. It is easy to damage the surface of this paint. The surface scratches easily. Not resistant to high temperature, not allowed to burn.

3. Enamel

If you want the surface of furniture to be as smooth as porcelain, you can choose porcelain paint. Like ready mixed paint, it is also a kind of colored paint, but it is made by adding inorganic pigments on the basis of varnish. Because the paint film is bright, smooth, delicate and hard, it looks like ceramics or enamel. Porcelain paint has rich colors and strong adhesion. According to the use requirements, different doses of matting agent can be added to the enamel to make semi-gloss or matte enamel. Commonly used varieties are phenolic enamel and alkyd enamel. Suitable for painting indoor and outdoor wood, metal surface, furniture and wooden decoration.

raw lacquer

If you want stable furniture paint, you can choose big paint. Raw lacquer, also known as natural lacquer, can be divided into raw lacquer and cooked lacquer. Raw lacquer is toxic, and the paint film is rough, so it is rarely used directly. After processing mature paint or modification, it is made into various refined paints. Cooked paint is suitable for drying in humid environment, and the obtained paint film has good luster, toughness, stability and acid resistance, but it dries slowly. Modified quick-drying polishing paint, cosmetic paint, etc. Low toxicity, tough paint film, spraying and brushing, convenient construction, acid resistance and water resistance, suitable for advanced painting.

There are many kinds of furniture paints, so don't be too confused when choosing them. Choose according to the furniture materials in your home and your own preferences. When you choose, you should combine the factors such as texture, smell and environmental protection to choose, and you will definitely choose the one that suits you best.
