What kind of paint should the wooden cutlery, spoon and cutlery be painted?

We will find that most of the wooden cutlery is painted on the surface. Because wooden tableware is made of natural wood, if it is not used with protective paint, it is easy to be eroded, rotten, and moldy by liquids such as water and oil in long-term use. Therefore, the general wooden tableware will be painted and protected on the surface.

Lacquer is divided into two categories: raw lacquer (natural lacquer) and chemical lacquer. Lacquer is more common in doors and windows, furniture, and supplies made in ancient times. It is an ancient Chinese lacquer method. The emperor of the Forbidden City in Beijing relied on it from the city gate, the pillars, and the furniture. Its source is Sumac. It is a milky white colloidal liquid harvested from a genus tree, which turns brown when exposed to air and hardens after a few hours to form patent leather. The economic value of raw lacquer is very low. It has corrosion resistance, wear resistance, acid resistance, solvent resistance, heat resistance, water resistance and insulation, and glossiness. It is used in military industry, industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, infrastructure, handicrafts, and Polyester materials for household furniture, etc. These lacquerware not only have the unique national style of our country, but also because of the bright lacquer film, durable color, and excellent gloss retention performance, they have the characteristics of not changing color for a long time, not easy to be polluted, not afraid of insects and frogs, and not affected by temperature. Raw lacquer is a natural substance collected from lacquer trees. This substance will cause great harm to the body and skin of the lacquer. For some idiosyncratic people, exposure to raw lacquer can cause severe allergic dermatitis and other diseases. Therefore, with the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, raw lacquer has been seldom picked by people. At the same time, raw lacquer is still poisonous to the people who collect it. The high price of raw lacquer has also discouraged many manufacturers.

Chemical paint is a paint made by using chemical raw materials, etc., combined with modern science and technology. This paint is very destructive to the ecological environment and human health. The formaldehyde and benzene contained in paint are what makes many people afraid, so chemical paint cannot be used on wooden tableware, and painted tableware can not be used to hold food.

Therefore, no matter what kind of wooden tableware is, it is not recommended to use paint, let alone the place where the tableware touches the food. So what exactly is the tableware painted with? How is it protected? Wooden tableware is generally painted on the outside with environmentally friendly products such as raw lacquer, wood wax oil, and water-based paint. These environmentally friendly products are also painted on the outside that do not directly into contact with food, rather than directly painted inside. Therefore, when using wooden utensils, the place where the interior is in contact with food can be protected and painted with food-grade grease such as olive oil.
