The notice puts forward higher requirements on the use of paints. The internal and external wall coatings of civil buildings are mandatory to use water-based paints, and the use of solvent-based internal outer wall coatingsAnd solvent-based internal and external wall adhesives. At the same time, the design unit and construction drawing review agency shall strictly implement the above requirements in architectural design, decoration design and review. The competent construction department shall strictly control the work of building design and construction supervision. Vigorously advocate the implementation of the above requirements in home decoration.
An official from the New Wall Office in Wenzhou City stated that paint generally contains a large amount of harmful substances such as benzene and formaldehyde, and these harmful substances often come from paint solvents. Paints usually use toxic and polluting solvents (such as thinner water and banana water) as diluents. The harmful substances they release not only threaten human health, but also pollute the environment. The fundamental difference between water-based paint and paint is that water-based paint uses water as a solvent, is non-flammable, non-explosive, non-toxic, non-irritating, harmless to humans, and meets environmental protection requirements.
