Nine kinds of waterproof materials failed to pick home decoration materials need to be cautious

The quality of home decoration is directly related to the health of the consumers, the quality of life, and the safety of life and property. The number of consumer dispute cases caused by quality problems encountered by consumers in purchasing commercial housing and decoration services is on the rise. Among them, consumer disputes over the safety of home-installed waterproof and interior latex paints account for a relatively large proportion. Yesterday, the Sichuan Consumer Council issued a comparative test report on waterproof materials and interior latex paints. The test results showed that 9 items of waterproof material samples did not meet the standard requirements; the internal wall latex paint compliance rate was 100%.

Xiao Xiangrong, the general secretary of the Provincial Consumer Affairs Committee, introduced that in order to standardize the domestic building materials market and home improvement service industry, increase consumer safety awareness, awareness of prevention, and awareness of rights protection, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the waterproof material was selected from July to September. The functional materials commonly used in two kinds of home improvement equipment for wall paints were used as samples to conduct comparative tests to master the quality of waterproof materials and interior wall paints sold in the province, and to guide the general consumers to purchase scientifically and reasonably, and to use the safety standards. . The sample of this comparative test was jointly performed by the provincial Consumer Council staff and the provincial Consumer Council’s publicly-recruited consumer representatives through official Weibo. As an ordinary consumer, they successively took Chengdu City’s Fusenmei Home, Bayi Decoration City, and West Home decoration city, Longquan Bomei decoration city, Fuhe building materials market, Jinfu electromechanical city, Wall building materials market, and other 21 vendors of 7 large-scale building materials market randomly purchased waterproof material and interior wall latex paint, basically covers the current Chengdu The main building materials market and home improvement waterproof material, the main types and brands of interior latex paint.

According to testing by authoritative organizations, there are three major problems in waterproof materials: First, the overall quality is not optimistic. After testing, there are 9 groups of samples that do not meet the standard requirements, accounting for 34% of all samples, exceeding 3 points. One is the second one is that the quality of different types of waterproof materials is quite different, the quality of SBS coils is relatively good, and the use is more extensive; the quality of JS waterproof coatings is second, and the quality of FS2 sheets is poor; thirdly, the problem that product logos do not meet the standards prominent. Judging from the inspection, not only did the FS2 sheet labeling fail to meet the standard requirements, but the SBS coiled material and JS waterproof coating also failed to meet the requirements of the national standard. The provincial Consumer Council believes that the problems with the logos of products produced by manufacturers not only fail to meet the requirements of the national standards, but also involve the infringement of consumer rights. This time, a total of 11 interior latex paints were inspected. The items submitted for inspection of interior latex paints were all in compliance with “Synthetic Resin Emulsion Interior Wall Coatings” (GB/T9756-2009) and “Interior Decoration Materials Interior Wall Coatings Harmful "Material Limit" (GB18582-2008) standard, compliance rate is 100%.
