Many people complain that after the installation of plastic panels, there is a sharp odor. And, of course, want to know how to get rid of it. Before understanding how to eliminate a strange smell, you need more to find out what is PVC panels.
What is PVC ↑
PVC – an abbreviation of the phrase PVC. He is one of the first artificially created material. Currently it is used for electric equipment used to make plastic bottles and film for packaging food products. Also used in shipbuilding and medicine to create a variety of syringes and tubes for heavy engineering and agriculture. Make him and building materials, such as, panels, suspended ceilings and more.
PVC is linear thermoplastic polymer of vinyl chloride. The plastic itself is white in colour, quite strong and does not conduct electricity. It is well soluble in esters and other chemicals.
Polyvinyl chloride is resistant to moisture, alkalis and a variety of industrial gases, metals and solutions of salts, combustible substances and fats and many other substances. Solid hard plastic lights up and does not support combustion, the content of chlorine helps-extinguishing.
PVC is considered quite harmless, chlorine, included in its composition, is in the bound state. The harmful effects he is having, only when destroyed. The destruction process can commence by oxidation, at a strong heat it is allocated benzene, the plastic dust is toxic. This immediately affects the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes.
In the normal state, PVC is hard and brittle, so for flexibility and softness with addition of plasticizers. Adding colours, use different metals, to protect it from bacteria and fungi add biocides.
Causes of odor ↑
It turns out that the cause of a sharp and unpleasant smell, are different chemicals that make up plastic. For example, ketones and alcohols, amines and phenols, plasticizers and flame retardants, peroxides, and many others. Also the smell can allocate some to be used in the processing of plastic solvents.
The tertiary amines used in production and gives off a strong smell, began to replace polinomi that weaken the smell. Depletability on the basis of zinc steel substitute for phenol. Odors may come from the presence of residues of monomers such as acrylic esters. To absorb the odor used synthetic zeolites based on metal aluminosilicates.
Getting rid of plastic smell in the home ↑
As mentioned above, the appearance of an unpleasant synthetic smell from the plastic panels of PVC is the result of inappropriate production technologies, and of course, the best way to get rid of him, will completely change panel.
In fact, ways to get rid of the smell of the plastic panels a few, but none of them ensures a perfect result. So let’s start with the most simple and available, and if that doesn’t work, you will have to go to the next, and so until then, until the smell finally disappears.
The first way, we remove the odour the simplest method ↑
The cause of the smell wall plastic panels, it is not always the violation of technological process, sometimes it’s just the result of long lying panels in the warehouse. If so, we can assume that you are lucky and get rid of him, will not be so difficult.
For this you will need a bucket of boiling water in which to dissolve the dry detergent and liquid detergent for dishwashing. Carefully mix the solution and allow to cool to an acceptable temperature that you can stand the hand.
Received soap mixture you need to wash all the plastic panels and to pay special attention to seams. After the panels are washed, they need to allow to dry, then rinse with soap stains with warm water, once dry the surface and then repeat the procedure with soap and water.
Just need at least three stages of bathing, then in the room you need to create a draught and dry plastic panels within 10-15 hours. If the cause of the smell was long lying panels in the stack, after the detergents it should be lost. If not, then move on to the next, more radical way.
The second way, remove the smell of citric acid ↑
There can be used as a natural lemons and citric acid, which in concentrated form is sold in packages. By the way, the second way will cost much cheaper, because the fresh fruits will need a lot of.
In a bucket of warm water and dissolve citric acid, and than its will be more better. The resulting solution was my wall, and after drying, repeat the procedure a few times. Citric acid must react with the plastic and destroy odors, but actually it is only in those cases when the smell is not part of the molecular structure of plastic, and is closer to the surface of the panel.
The third way, remove the smell of vinegar ↑
As you know, vinegar is one of the strongest acids available in the home, and therefore should work with it extremely neatly. By the way, the pure essence even able to destroy the picture on the plastic panels. So the solution should be very wary.
In a little warm water, add the essence until water appears characteristic odor, and after that my all the panels, not forgetting the joints.
Acetic acid should burn all the smell and residue to evaporate itself.
If after airing the smell of plastic has not disappeared, it remains the last and most effective way, based on knowledge of chemistry.
The fourth way, remove the smell of salts ↑
The odor of the polyvinyl chloride is simple, the manufacturer has saved money on additives. Often their roles are barium salt, or more strong connections are identical in composition. The result of such savings, the natural smell of plastic does not dissolve, but rather is magnified.
It is based on this method of cleaning plastic panels. Barium salts are sold in any drugstore, it is not a toxic substance, and no harm to the health. Diluted Sol from approximate calculation – 10 grams per liter of hot water, and the resulting solution wipe plastic panel, salt should react with the molecular sieve and remove the smell.
Most likely, one procedure will be enough, so you’ll have to repeat the process of washing the panels several times, each time, completely drying the panel.
Conclusion ↑
If none of these methods get rid of the smell of plastic doesn’t help, then you are a victim of counterfeit goods, and as it was not pity, but such material should be abandoned. Even if it is not possible to return the plastic panels in the store, they can just throw away and buy new ones. Of course, it is very costly, and unforeseen expenses, but in any case more expensive, and the manufacturer, saving on basic additives, generally unworthy of the trust, and who knows what else are mixed in the composition of these panels.
That is why it is so important to always ask the seller plastic panels quality certificates, and to purchase construction materials only in trusted stores that value their reputation and without further ADO, will exchange a defective product for quality and meets all norms and standards.
