One、After applying artistic paint, is ventilation required?
Most artistic paints cannot be immediately ventilated after application. To ensure even drying and prevent peeling or cracking, it is necessary to keep the windows closed and allow the paint to dry naturally in a slightly humid environment. The specific drying time depends on weather conditions and the thickness and dryness of the substrate. Generally, it is recommended to open the windows for ventilation after 2-3 days.
Furthermore, some decorative paints currently available on the market are quick-drying types, allowing for rapid drying and occupancy within two hours after application. When selecting decorative paints, it is crucial to clarify the specific type.
Two. How long after applying artistic paint can the property be occupied?
Artistic coatings are environmentally friendly and healthy wall decoration materials. Unlike traditional coatings, they do not release harmful substances such as formaldehyde and VOCs, and theoretically, they can be used immediately after application.
However, after applying water-based paint, there is a process of water evaporation and solidification. To ensure the quality of applying decorative paint to walls, professionals recommend that after the paint is applied, but considering that new houses will be furnished with custom or newly purchased furniture, it is recommended to move in after 3 months.
Due to the primary source of formaldehyde being adhesives used in particleboard, substandard furniture consists of low-quality adhesives and particleboard, which continuously emit formaldehyde. If the home's ventilation is poor, prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can cause serious health problems.
Ammonia is present in concrete due to the presence of antifreeze and urea, and inhaling a large amount of ammonia in a short period can cause severe damage to the respiratory system.
