What is varnish

Varnish, also known as "Van Li Shui", is a kind of paint that does not contain coloring substances, the main components of varnish are resin and solvent, varnish is a light yellow or transparent paint, its luster is very bright, easy to form. In daily life, the use is also more extensive, it is mainly applied to the surface of the object to play a protective role in the object, and when it dries, it will not affect the original object color, but can play a good decorative role on the object.
Does varnish have formaldehyde?
First of all, the varnish does not contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde will only exist in the glue, and the varnish is a gelatinous substance but not a glue. The main toxicity of varnish comes from benzene, a substance known as the "aroma killer", which has been identified by the World Health Organization as a strong carcinogen and can also cause dizziness, headache, nausea, chest tightness, fatigue and other symptoms. In other words, the more fragrant the varnish smells, the more toxic it is.
Varnish construction process

2. Brush varnish to protect the primer (if there is no 1 process, that is, this is the first process).
