One, is the smell of water-based paint normal?
Water-based paints do not require toxic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene during production, and can be diluted with water. They also do not produce any irritating odors during application, whether through spraying or drying.
However, due to the odors associated with the synthesis of water-based resins and the additives in water-based paints, it is normal to detect some odors when using water-based paints. However, if the odor is particularly strong during the application of water-based paint, it indicates a problem.
Two. How to deal with the strong odor of water-based paints
During the application of water-based paints, differences in the "sealing" of furniture substrates, the "selection" of water-based paint quality, and the "application" process can result in different odors from the finished furniture products. This is primarily due to the creation of a third type of odor when water-based paint comes into contact with various furniture substrates, which is neither water-based paint nor wood. However, this odor is not particularly irritating and is generally considered more acceptable than the odor produced by oil-based paints. This odor can be effectively addressed through proper application techniques and product selection.
