    Nowadays consumers pay great attention to the environmental protection performance of home decoration.



    1.


    a.


    The raw materials are derived from natural plants and are made through biological or chemical transformation.


    △Project: BANMOON Clothing Office


    b.


    Most of the non-additive plant paints can pass the HG/T3950 test and meet the I-level antibacterial and mildew resistant index requirements, so that it can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, thereby improving indoor air quality


    c.


    The plant-based emulsion is used in conjunction with other substances to form a relatively dense surface structure, which greatly improves the stain resistance and scrubbing resistance of the coating itself.

    d, soft color

    In addition to the PPG color system, the natural plant color series derived from nature can also be used in wall decoration colors to make the color matching of the space softer and more comfortable

    e.


    During the construction process, there is absolutely no odor and toxic gas, no need to wear protective gear, and it is harmless to the surrounding environment, home environment, users, and constructors.
    The decoration waste can be used as fertilizer to return to nature, and there is no secondary pollution problem
    .


    f, expensive

    Due to factors such as raw material cost and process technology, the price of plant coatings is usually relatively expensive
    .


    2.
    Material comparison (with latex paint)

    a.
    Ingredients of raw materials

    Plant interior wall paint: natural plants such as rosin, linseed oil, tung oil, castor oil, vegetable oil, corn starch, cassava starch, sugar and so on
    .

    Traditional interior wall coatings: The main raw materials come from natural resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas
    .


    b.
    Environmental performance

    Plant interior wall paint: The raw material itself does not contain harmful substances, which eliminates the harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, VOC, etc.
    from the source, and zero pollution to the environment during use
    .

    Traditional interior wall paint: When used, various organic pollutants, such as phenol, formaldehyde, styrene, ethylbenzene, etc.
    will be volatilized.
    At the same time, a large number of by-products will be produced during the processing of raw materials, which will pollute the environment and waste energy
    .


    c.
    Use performance

    Plant interior wall paint: The material can meet the index requirements of Class I antibacterial and mildew proof
    .
    The air permeability is good, so that the coating is not easy to bubbling, peeling, and falling off, and the service life is long
    .

    Traditional interior wall paint: Latex paint is organic, easy to breed mold and bacteria, has a short shelf life and is extremely afraid of water.
    Under normal circumstances, it will swell and peel off in about ten years
    .


    The transformation from petroleum economy to bio-economy is the need of global development.
    The birth and rise of plant coatings is also an inevitable process of the development of industry materials.
    We should follow policy development and lead the industry trend!
