The scrub resistance project is an important quality index of latex paint, which reflects the density and powder resistance of the paint film surface.


(Correspondent zhangyan and Correspondent Zou Wei) The Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau recently announced "the results of sampling inspection of the quality of some home decoration pollution sources in 2018". Among them, the qualified rate of interior wall coating is 86.7, the qualified rate of adhesive is 93.3, the qualified rate of diatom mud and wallpaper glue is 100, and the compliance rate of risk monitoring of sewing agent products is 97.5.

Chen Zhuqing, an engineer of the National Building Materials Product Quality Inspection Center (Nanjing) of the Municipal Quality Inspection Institute entrusted with the inspection, said that the interior wall paint is latex paint for general decoration. A total of 30 batches were sampled, and 4 batches were unqualified. The unqualified items were: scrubbing resistance. The performance of the products of Xuanwei and Caizhou brands in this sampling inspection is far lower than the national standard requirements. The scrub resistance project is an important quality index of latex paint, which reflects the density and powder resistance of the paint film surface. The poor amount of wash-resistant properties will cause wall delamination, powder falling, etc. Some enterprises in order to reduce the cost, reduce the amount of emulsion and titanium dioxide, choose cheap quality emulsion or reduce the amount of emulsion added, resulting in scrubbing resistance is not qualified.

The Supporting Role in Wallboard Systems: Metal Trim Strips—Essential Yet Often Overlooked

Let’s start with the conclusion: when choosing decorative wall panels, our attention often focuses on the panel itself—whether it features wood grain, stone texture, or fabric patterns; whether the color palette leans toward light tones or darker shades; and how different colors can be coordinated. Meanwhile, metal trims used to cover joint gaps or corner transitions are easily overlooked, resulting in a final outcome that falls short of expectations. Why does this happen? Consider this scenario: in large‑area spaces like public corridors where wall panels are installed, if exposed trim strips are used, our gaze tends to be drawn to those strips, visibly fragmenting the wall’s overall cohesion. In essence, we end up noticing only the trim and overlooking the panels themselves.


The Secret Behind Perforated-Panel Sound Absorption: Why Can’t Quiet Spaces Do Without This “Breathing” Panel?

Today, in many public buildings—such as gymnasiums, exhibition halls, underground spaces, and even some schools—observant visitors may notice that the walls and ceilings are fitted with panels riddled with tiny perforations. Upon inquiry, it becomes clear that these perforated panels possess a remarkable property: they can effectively “absorb” noise.


Precautions for Installing Calcium Silicate Board Ceilings

Although calcium silicate boards are now readily available in major building‑materials markets, many construction workers—especially those accustomed to working with gypsum board—still harbor doubts about installing ceiling systems using this material. They wonder whether their established techniques are suitable for calcium silicate boards. This article aims to clarify the issue; as for whether everyone will fully understand it, frankly, we’re not entirely sure ourselves. So let’s put it this way: we’ll explain it, and you can take it from there.


Introduction to the Method of Exposed-Frame Suspended Ceilings

What is an exposed‑grid ceiling? This is the common term people use, but why is it called that? As the name suggests, it refers to a ceiling construction in which the suspension grid members are left visible. It falls under the category of panel ceilings—this distinction is made relative to solid‑board ceilings. The decorative panels rest within the grid framework, with the exposed grid and the panels serving as decorative elements that together create the overall aesthetic. From a construction standpoint, an exposed‑grid ceiling is an assembly‑type system.
