Is mahogany furniture good for varnishing or waxing? This topic has been arguing in the market, and there are all kinds of arguments. There are still some furniture on the market that don't burn wax or paint, so consumers can use it for a while. Although it is a surface finish, it is also closely related to the quality and use of mahogany furniture. How to choose? In this issue, we ask experts to answer your questions in detail.
Wipe paint to extend the life of furniture
What is commonly referred to as "painting" refers to the traditional lacquer (also known as lacquer, enamel) in mahogany furniture. As a traditional handicraft, varnish has a long history in China. "In the past, there was the saying of the South Lacquered Wax. It was said that the furniture in the south was painted, and the furniture in the north was hot waxed. But the furniture in the south also had a lot of waxing. The furniture in the north also had many lacquers." Ren Cheng, president and head of the Redwood Culture College, said that the lacquering process refers to the use of natural green environmentally-friendly materials as the main raw material for mahogany furniture. After repeated rubbing and painting, coloring and other surface treatments, The mahogany furniture made is clear, smooth and smooth, the color is clear and bright, and the hand feels comfortable. It not only enhances the appreciation space of mahogany furniture, but also enhances its artistic appreciation value.
Pan Haiying, general manager of Beijing Youlian Redwood also believes that “the paint is made of natural raw lacquer as the main raw material. It has strong adhesion, acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance. It has good protection for furniture and can produce good The decorative effect, which can be proved by a large number of unearthed cultural relics." Especially in the south, due to the humid climate, in order to prevent moisture, many furniture surfaces are covered with a thin layer of lacquer, which greatly prolongs the life of mahogany furniture.
Hot wax furniture is more natural
Hot wax is another traditional surface finishing process for mahogany furniture. According to Ren Cheng, earlier, after the wax was applied to the surface of the furniture, the wax was baked with a torch, and the wax was burned on the surface of the furniture, so it was called “hot waxâ€. Later, with a blowtorch, baking wax is convenient. Later, with a hair dryer, until now, this is still the most commonly used method of melting wax in the North.
“The furniture after the waxing is touched by the human hand, and it is oxidized by the air. The color changes quickly. The color is naturally translucent and warm, and it can reflect the true color of the mahogany. It feels like blending with nature, and mahogany furniture is like life.†Beijing The director of the Beijing Traditional Furniture Professional Committee of the Furniture Industry Association introduced Zhao Shoutian. He believes that the mahogany furniture after the waxing can show the natural and rustic beauty of the wood.
Choose all personal preferences
At present, there are still some manufacturers who don't burn wax or paint on the delivery, so they are handed over to the consumers, the so-called "light body". After a while, they will paint or wax with the consumer's preference, and claim not only Consumers can see the material, which is better for furniture. Zhao Shoutian pointed out that the "light body" furniture does have consumers like it. This kind of furniture without any modification and protection is easy to change color when it comes into contact with sweat and grease. It will soon have a natural luster, but it is also very It is easy to get dirty, which is easy to cause the difference in the color of the furniture, resulting in chromatic aberration. Pan Haiying questioned: "The new national standard of "Redwood Furniture" clearly requires the production enterprises to express the finishing process. If it is not waxed or not painted, it is not a traditional process. Is it not a semi-finished product?"
How to choose the paint and hot wax furniture? Zhao Shoutian said that hot wax has higher requirements for drying of furniture. If the drying is not good, the furniture will be deformed and cracked. It is better to protect the furniture. The furniture after ironing is more careful in the process of use. Once there is hot, hot water or the container is placed on the mahogany furniture of the hot wax, it is easy to make a white circle, and it is not as good as the maintenance of the paint. But he also pointed out that the lacquering process will color the furniture and provide some space for some counterfeiters. And as far as personal preference is concerned, some people may think that the color of the lacquered furniture is rigid, and it is not as good as the color of the waxed furniture. Consumers can choose according to their preferences.
Pay attention to non-traditional crafts
The insiders reminded that the above-mentioned lacquering and hot waxing are all traditional crafts. At present, there are some furniture that is painted in a modern way such as chemical lacquer or special furniture wax. Consumers should also pay attention when choosing.
Pan Haiying said that the traditional lacquer and chemical lacquer are different in hand and visual. Generally, the traditional lacquered home has a feeling of warm and jade, and the chemical lacquer is relatively fake and has a certain taste. From the technical point of view, the effect produced by the lacquering process is unmatched by the general modern lacquer. Generally speaking, the modern chemical lacquer is made by covering the surface of the woodwork with a lacquer. The more rough it is, the more lacquer can be shoveled with a knife, while the traditional sui lacquer is layered to smear the lacquer into the wood. The pores in the surface are mixed with the wood slab, which not only has better protection function, but also can be anti-corrosion, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance and fire resistance, and will become more and more smooth as the age of use is long.
Hot wax must also choose natural pure beeswax, in which the fatty acid bee ester (about 80%, is the main component of beeswax) in the lipids has a fastening effect on wood fiber, aromatic colored material insect wax And volatile oils have a protective effect on wood. Never use paraffin wax and beeswax mixed wax, because paraffin wax is mainly composed of carbohydrates. Over time, the gradually decomposed water and carbon black will deposit in the wood brown eye and wood fiber. Cause damage.
