Steps/Methods for Choosing Latex Paint
1. Environmental Protection
Latex paint is used extensively in homes, so environmental protection is the most important factor. Paints contain harmful substances such as VOCs. Generally speaking, the lower the VOC content in paint, the higher its environmental protection index. Recently, high-quality interior wall paint has appeared on the market. This type of paint is a new generation of high-end latex paint that perfectly combines odorless technology and film-forming functions. It uses innovative odorless technology, has low VOC content, and is easy to apply. It features high coverage, large application area, high whiteness, uniform color, good texture, good workability, excellent adhesion, and good alkali resistance, providing long-lasting protection for indoor walls such as plaster and gypsum. The main characteristics are odorless and ultra-low VOC, high coverage, good alkali resistance, and good adhesion.
2. Film Formation
After a period of time, genuine latex paint will form a thick, elastic oxide film on the surface that is not easy to crack; while inferior products will only form a very thin film that is fragile and has a pungent smell.
3. Smell Test
Genuine environmentally friendly latex paint should be water-based, non-toxic, and odorless. Therefore, if you smell irritating odors or industrial fragrances, you should not choose that paint. Nowadays, there are "odorless" paints on the market that specifically add "deodorizing technology," such as the Jia Ba Li "Odorless 120" 5-in-1 high-quality interior wall paint, which also uses odorless technology, does not add fragrances, and quickly eliminates odors, allowing you to create a healthy and environmentally friendly natural space.

It features carefully selected pure colors to help you create a pure and elegant space, making it an ideal choice for new wall painting or old wall renovation in homes and commercial spaces. "Odorless 120" 5-in-1, quickly eliminates odors.
4. Texture
Stir the latex paint with a wooden stick, then lift it with the stick. High-quality latex paint will flow down in a fan shape. When touched with a finger, genuine latex paint should feel smooth and delicate.
5. Washability
You can apply a small amount of paint to a cement wall, and after the coating dries, wipe it with a damp cloth. Genuine latex paint has strong washability, and wiping it a couple of hundred times will not significantly affect the appearance of the coating; while low-grade water-soluble paints will show powdering and fading after just a dozen wipes.
When renovating a home, remember the above five points when purchasing, so you can buy latex paint with confidence and live in a healthy environment after the renovation.
