Furniture paint, after the 'oil change water' furniture manufacturers how to change?
because of environmental protection and health, the furniture industry is experiencing unprecedented changes, this change forces of furniture manufacturers need to reevaluate their position in the market, and whether to invest in the time and money, whether from solvent-based coating for water-based coating. As the government attaches great importance to environmental policies, the people environmental protection consciousness awakening, the green environmental protection furniture coating was put on the agenda of furniture production enterprises; 'Oil to water' seems to be getting so urgent, become one of the direction of the enterprise transformation.
we need to do a lot of work. Need to suspend the solvent paint, to make the new space, to cope with change. We need the attention from the whole coating, such as the production of its working environment, the coating process, because the whole process with the use of solvent-based coating is different. How to successfully convert waterborne wood coatings? What is the change really need to do to change? What we need equipment to complete the change? How to get the look and feel like solvent coating? All these problems will be the answer, but it could also be the wrong answer, but people will still be the resources and experience into the coating projects.
1, we need to ensure that the factory, head of the relevant departments to understand the change of the waterborne coatings, and why need in their specific field is introduced into the new approach and procedures, to ensure that our final result can meet customer expectations. We need to complete 'into' the change of solvent instead of water based coating. From the head of the workshop to the company's top managers need to accept this change. Accept this idea, if only the upper management didn't get the real department manager and grassroots support and understanding, I'm afraid the effect is not very good. We are now ready to discuss more detailed preparatory work, in order to shift to the water-based paint, because this will affect the next step of work.
2, material storage/paint room contact:
coating is sensitive to low temperature, can take must be stored in a temperature controlled environment. In other words, the temperature of the warehouse had better not less than 15 degrees Celsius. Many paint suppliers in their storage and transportation conditions not below 0 degrees Celsius or 5 degrees Celsius, these have been is very extreme conditions, but does not mean that storage and transportation in this temperature range, there is no problem. However, this is the lowest requirement of waterborne coatings, because once frozen products, products in resin and formula has been destroyed, the product quality will be affected by the serious, cannot return to the form to use. Therefore, we need to store temperature control in 15 degrees Celsius.
a mixture of water-based paint with solvent paint different requirements, the coating need to use stainless steel mixing equipment/plastic and glass containers/heating equipment, different size of the mesh filter/small oven/cleaning solvent. All mixing equipment and containers should be cleaned immediately after use, in order to avoid particle coagulation on the equipment or containers. It is best to immediately clean with warm water. However, if for some reason, there is still a particle coagulation on the surface of the container, can make the following operation: first with butyl ketone or acetone to clean. This method can very quickly clean all particles. Then using the butanone on the alcohol cleaning equipment or acetone. The final rinse with ordinary water. Specific circumstances may be, therefore, butyl ketone or alcohol to clean particles, alcohol will clear butanone or acetone, water will remove alcohol.
3, white body polishing/rose wood surface reinforcement of prevention:
in the first place, because we are using the coating, the coating than solvent-based coating is easier to let the wood surface become rough. When using solvent coating before we use 240 # sandpaper wood surface, this method is also applicable to use water-based coating system. With sandpaper no. 240 first, then use sand paper no. 320 can better improve the effect of grinding. If it is polished solid wood or plywood, we can use sand paper no. 240 in the furniture surface after spraying a layer of mist, such operations are intended for wood surface catheter cock, wait for about 30 minutes, reoccupy sandpaper no. 320. So wood surface to be smooth enough to satisfy the requirement of paint.
some paint companies in their coating formula to add some alcohol or acetone. It helpful to improve the effect of homework, but need to see whether the local environmental protection department solvent coatings. Because some people are very conservative and strictly, can think paint to add a small amount of alcohol or acetone is the solvent paint, therefore it is prohibited to use the coating. Factory must be ready to report to the government department, told the government that is a very small proportion, won't produce a large number of volatile organic compounds. Use water-based paint coating wood, want to choose what kind of sand paper? For white body polish best alumina abrasive paper instead of using silicon carbide abrasive paper. Alumina sand paper will makes a wood smooth, better able to cut the white wood surface coarse particles. And before the paint to use silicon carbide abrasive paper will have a better effect.
