It Is Not Easy To Find Suit Paint
When all parts of the building was completed, came the painting. Perhaps, you are so enjoying this moment – choose the style of painting, mixing colours and enjoy the beautiful new colours every corner of your home. However, did you understand how to choose paint that is good and safe? This time the ICI Paints wanted to share inspiration to you, how to choose a quality paint.
Expensive paint would be nice? Really? Do not get stuck with raise prices before you know exactly what the basic things that can determine the quality of a paint. According to ICI Paints, the characteristics of the paint with good quality is to have an evenly spread power, has the power of a good lid and durable rub-resistant, fire-resistant, and easy to clean from the stain.
But all was not enough. There are still a few more things you should know in choosing a paint. The reason, the paint is not just the main materials in beautifying the home with colour, but also must be safe for your health and our environment. ICI Paints advice there are three things you need to consider when choosing paint.
1. Use products that ‘transparent’
If you have the opportunity to come to the store or supermarket building construction materials, and have enough time to compare some of the paint products, read the description or the paint usage rules include technical data on each package.
Not all paint companies include technical data on the packaging of products, only paints are manufactured by companies that are ‘open’ or transparent and reliable are willing to include them. Quality products usually include all product descriptions are complete.
2. Use paint as needed
If you are able to determine what type of paint, brand and colour of paint that will use, the next step is to determine how much paint is needed for a room?
In each pack always contained a good paint, power spread for each unit of paint on a plane. It means every kg / litter, the paint will produce a surface area of ??a particular field. If you already know how wide the field to be painted, then you can calculate the power requirement based paint spread on the technical data listed on the product packaging.
Good quality paint, pigment having a solid colour so that the particles can spread paint entirely and cover the entire surface to be painted. Thus the use of paint to be frugal because the paint will be more quickly absorbed into the surface. If the paint does not soak into the surface, then you must repeat the paint and need extra cans of paint to a wall or surface can be covered with paint evenly.
3. Environmentally friendly.
Do not forget to choose the brand of paint is environmentally friendly. Nowadays a lot of paint sold in the market do not pay attention to the environmental feasibility. The paint is still using mercury (Hg) and lead / lead (Pb) as one of the basic materials of manufacture. In fact, two materials that can potentially spread the vapour / gas is quite dangerous if inhaled regularly kept by a man who lives nearby. Even worse, flaking paint on walls can inadvertently eaten by children.
Lead (Pb), is one metal that can cause brain damage in humans, especially young children. Due to lead poisoning can take place slowly, over several weeks or several months. The first symptoms usually appear are the child will cry constantly because his body shivering, followed by digestive disorders and fatigue. Often the symptoms are accompanied by spasms throughout the body and can cause death. Although children eventually become cured, most likely will settle damage to the brain and can interfere with growth.
For that you must begin to anticipate brain damage in children from an early age. It can be started by selecting and using a paint that is free of mercury and tin because if it was too late, then the child will have difficulty in learning and behaviour disorders.
Cat with no mercury and no lead, is now available and sold in the market by using a green circle symbol on the packaging.
Manufacturers of environmentally friendly paint that not only pay attention to the quality of its products, but the working environment in paint manufacturing plant also considered. If the mercury (Hg) and lead / lead (Pb) remained in use, the paint factory employee health can also be disrupted.
