Baichuan Furniture News News Parents want to give their children the best home, the safest and most beneficial growth space. Children's Day is about to come. On the eve of the festival, many parents want to buy new furniture as a gift for their children. Faced with a wide range of children's furniture with different prices on the market, how can we find out the safe, environmentally friendly, practical and affordable ones?
I have selected the environmental protection topics for children's furniture that are of more concern to parents. Through actual visits, consultation with experts, and access to information, I have compiled this article and let's take a look.
"European standard E0 level", "European standard E1 level", is it credible?
A: There are very few furniture that really meet the European standard E0.
When it comes to children's furniture, the first thing to say is safety. Children's furniture is different from ordinary furniture. In wood, paint, and glue, it is necessary to consider environmental protection, and children need more protection. This is the design of children's furniture that needs to be considered in advance. It is precisely because of the selection of materials and craftsmanship, children's furniture is generally more expensive, the price of furniture for a children's room is tens of thousands of yuan, even if the discount price is much higher than the average furniture.
But high prices will certainly be able to buy good products? Recently, Jiangsu Quality Supervision Bureau's sampling of children's furniture shows that nearly 60% of the 60 batches of children's furniture in the children's furniture exceeds the standard.
As a consumer, the reporter visited the children's furniture stores in several home stores in Zhengzhou. Many merchants emphasized that “we are all solid wood furniture, meet the European standard E0 standard, no formaldehyde hazard†even when introducing their own products. There are also merchants claiming that “water that has been soaked with our plate crumbs can be drunk directly without affecting healthâ€.
According to European environmental protection standards, wood products are divided into three levels according to the amount of formaldehyde emission, which is E0 grade (formaldehyde emission 0.5mg/L), E1 grade (formaldehyde emission 0.5mg/I~1.5mg/L). ), E2 grade (formaldehyde emission is greater than 1.5mg / L).
The E1 environmental standard is a national mandatory health standard, and the E0 standard is an international high health standard (excluding Japan).
According to relevant data, the formaldehyde content of drinking water is 0.9mg/l, that is to say, the formaldehyde content of the E0 standard is less than that of drinking water. According to senior children's furniture experts, the market does have the European standard E0, but it can be achieved at this level.
Is solid wood furniture more environmentally friendly than panel furniture?
A: Solid wood furniture is not equal to low formaldehyde.
Solid wood furniture is generally more expensive than panel furniture. Therefore, in the eyes of many consumers, solid wood furniture has become synonymous with "high-end" and "environmental protection". In fact, it cannot be generalized.
Solid wood furniture uses natural wood, the appearance is more natural, and it is durable, green and environmentally friendly. It is generally made of solid wood furniture with no artificial additives and no pollution hazards.
Panel furniture is made by surface veneering such as medium-density fiberboard or particleboard. These artificial panels are made of non-toxic materials such as natural wood chips, hibiscus and shavings. In the case of plywood, 12 cm of plywood usually requires 3 to 4 layers of natural wood chips and 5 kg of glue. If there is formaldehyde in the glue, then the board is poisonous. Use these sheets to make furniture, and the furniture is poisonous. As far as the current situation is concerned, the main raw materials for the production of glue are polyvinyl alcohol, water, formaldehyde, urea, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which are the largest sources of formaldehyde in home decoration.
“The whole solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly than the panel furniture. However, the panel furniture of individual brands can avoid the problem of formaldehyde exceeding the standard through high-quality crafts and environmentally-friendly materials. The formaldehyde content is also up to standard. The surface of solid wood furniture should also be varnished. If it is not all natural solid wood furniture, it will also use adhesives, such as veneered solid wood furniture, there is the problem of formaldehyde emission," said the senior children's furniture experts.
Oil paint, water-based paint, no paint, how to judge?
A: Look at the relevant test report when purchasing.
The use of water-based paints for children's furniture has become a trend due to the pressure of environmental regulations. Water-based paint is a new environmentally friendly material with water as a thinner. Water-based paint replaces oil paint, does not contain toxic heavy metals, is non-toxic and non-irritating, and is environmentally friendly. However, the price of water-based paints is generally higher than that of oil-based paints at present, and many companies have not used high-efficiency water-based paints in order to control costs.
When buying children's furniture, how to judge whether it is water-based paint or oil paint?
A. In the appearance of the product, the water-based paint can be seen from the hardness of the coating film (paint film). The hardness of the film is relatively soft, the softness is good, and the color is soft and natural.
B. In the smell of the product, no smell is the most obvious characteristic of water-based paint. Generally, after the cover is opened, the smell of the water-based wood paint is very small, with a little oily aroma.
C. Seek evidence. When purchasing furniture, try to ask the purchaser to ask for the “Product Instruction Manual†and “Test Report†to see if the paint column is marked with water-based paint.
Some of the more high-end children's furniture claims to use environmentally friendly vegetable oils, not painted, such as wood wax oil. Wood wax oil is a natural wood coating similar to paint and different from paint. It is mainly made by blending natural vegetable oil such as refined linseed oil and palm wax with vegetable wax. Therefore, it does not contain toxic components such as triphenyl, formaldehyde and heavy metals, and has no pungent odor. It is suitable for the maintenance and decoration of various wooden furniture and wooden houses indoors and outdoors.
It should be pointed out that many children's furniture now have a lot of conceptual selling points. The purpose of these concepts is to increase the premium. For example, “no ash†is the use of anti-static technology to ensure that dust does not adhere to the surface. This technology has long been used in luxury cars, but it doesn't make sense to use it on furniture, because dust can fall into other places without falling into the furniture.
plate-type furniture
Cost-effective, full-featured: Panel furniture has always been a cost-effective route and functionalist route, including the use of space and DIY, relatively rich in color and shape, more attractive to parents and children.
Pine furniture
The material is thick and the color is single: pine is the most common material for children's furniture. Because of its relative environmental protection and high cost performance, it has a certain market share. Since many companies want to make a fuss about the raw materials of pine wood and carry out different positioning, there are many kinds of pines, such as Brazilian pine, Chilean pine, Finnish pine, New Zealand pine, Russian scotch pine, etc., all of which hope to pass the material difference. Win a certain market share.
Board and wood combination
Material saving, not easy to change: Banmu combined with children's furniture occupy a major share of the mid- to high-end market. Generally speaking, the frame structure of the table top, the table (chair) leg, the door frame and the like are made of solid wood, and the side panels, the bottom, the top, the partition and the like are made of artificial boards (the MDF, the particle board, etc. are all the artificial boards). The combination of wood and wood furniture should be the most advantageous furniture in solid wood furniture, which saves wood and reduces costs.
Hardwood furniture
High-end products, high price: hardwood children's furniture is generally equipped with environmentally friendly water-based paint, returning to nature, showing the simplicity of not mixing any distracting thoughts, let the children's life return to the truth; pure hand-carved, with delicate bronze handle, the details are rendered Exquisite nature; rustic colors, nostalgic atmosphere, unrestrained country-like life, let the children linger.
