Are anti-formaldehyde coatings really effective? What are the main ingredients of Runli anti-formaldehyde coating?

Many building material brands on the market produce anti-formaldehyde coatings, yet many consumers still lack a clear understanding of them. Are anti-formaldehyde coatings really effective? What are the main ingredients of anti-formaldehyde coatings? Today, the editor from Runli will answer these questions for you one by one.

I. Are anti-formaldehyde coatings really effective?

Runli anti-formaldehyde coatings can decompose harmful formaldehyde to a certain extent. Substances that react with and decompose formaldehyde are added into ordinary coatings to achieve an anti-formaldehyde effect. Through chemical reactions, free formaldehyde in the air is consumed and converted into water molecules that are harmless to humans and the environment, making the product safe and eco-friendly.

Runli anti-formaldehyde coatings use diatomite or activated carbon materials for physical adsorption to remove formaldehyde. Products made from diatomite feature a unique 'molecular sieve' structure and selective adsorption performance, which can effectively remove harmful substances such as free formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia in the air, as well as odors from pets, smoking and garbage, thus purifying indoor air.

Some Runli anti-formaldehyde coatings are added with formaldehyde-removing ingredients to achieve the anti-formaldehyde function. The main chemical ingredients include ammonium chloride, ozone and others. When added into coatings, these formaldehyde-removing components eliminate formaldehyde through chemical reactions.

II. What are the main ingredients of Runli anti-formaldehyde coatings?

The main ingredients vary among different anti-formaldehyde coatings, which mainly fall into three categories: active and nano-photocatalysts, diatomite or activated carbon materials, and formaldehyde-removing additives.

Runli anti-formaldehyde coatings mostly adopt active and nano-photocatalysts to degrade formaldehyde via nanophotocatalysis. Under natural light, sunlight or ordinary indoor lighting, the paint film produces an oxidation-reduction reaction and continuously releases a large number of oxygen ions, effectively degrading indoor formaldehyde.

Tests were carried out on decorative coating materials in accordance with the building materials industry standard method for purification performance of indoor air-purifying coating materials. The purification efficiency of samples with different dosages of photocatalytic additives was compared. Data after 48 hours showed that the air purification efficiency reached more than 80% when the photocatalyst dosage was 1%.

Anti-formaldehyde coatings can decompose formaldehyde to a certain extent, but cannot completely inhibit the re-release of formaldehyde. Their core components mainly include active and nano-photocatalysts, diatomite or activated carbon materials, and formaldehyde-removing additives.
