The choice of furniture veneer materials directly impacts the durability, aesthetics, and environmental performance of furniture. Common materials include the following five types: 1. Melamine-Faced BoardMade by pressing melamine-impregnated paper onto a substrate under high temperature, it offers wear resistance, heat resistance, waterproofing, and eco-friendliness, with diverse style options and high cost-effectiveness. However, it requires precise edge-sealing, struggles with complex shapes, and is difficult to repair after damage. 2. Paint-Baked BoardFinished with six layers of spray paint and high-temperature baking, it features rich colors, waterproofing, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and easy cleaning. Yet, its complex production process and long lead time, along with vulnerability to scratches and high costs, make it ideal for premium cabinet and wardrobe door...
Water-based paint and oil-based paint differ significantly in composition, application, and environmental impact. Water-based paints use water as their primary solvent, making them eco-friendly with low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. They dry faster (1–2 hours) due to rapid water evaporation, produce minimal odor, and are easy to clean with soap and water. However, they may lack the durability of oil-based alternatives, showing lower resistance to abrasion and chemicals. Oil-based paints, by contrast, rely on organic solvents like mineral spirits. They offer superior adhesion, hardness, and moisture resistance, making them ideal for high-traffic surfaces like doors and trim. Their slower drying time (6–8 hours) allows for smoother finishes but generates strong fumes and requires harsh chemicals for cleanup. Environmentally, water-based paints ali...
