With the development of the times, why are lacquerware abandoned by the furniture industry?

The reason why lacquer is abandoned by people is that it contains something toxic and harmful to the body, and it will peel after a long time. It's easy to paint off and ugly.

First, the price of big paint is high.

Because the paint has the defects of weak brightness and heavy pigment, it is easy to have poor brightness and smoothness when making paint. At this time, painters usually apply another layer of paint to improve this situation, which will definitely greatly increase the cost of manpower and material resources. Even under normal circumstances, lacquerware needs to be coated with multiple layers of paint. Now the price of paint on the market is about 200 yuan/kg or 4 yuan/m2. Ordinary paint, water-based paint and ultraviolet paint are far below this price. If labor costs are included, the price of paint will be higher.

Second, the paint quality is different in different environments.

Lacquerware, also known as raw lacquer, local lacquer and national lacquer, refers to raw lacquer collected from lacquer trees. Only four places in China produce this kind of paint: Bijie, Guizhou, Maoba, Hubei, Sichuan, Sichuan and Ankang, Shaanxi. This limits the spread and popularization of lacquerware in this area. Moreover, the quality of lacquerware produced in different regions varies greatly. When choosing and cutting paint, there are also requirements for the weather. It is best to have hot, cloudy and foggy weather.

A sumac tree can only produce about 9 kilograms of lacquer in its lifetime. It takes 300 sumac trees to collect one kilogram of lacquer. There are also strict requirements for the cutting process of lacquerware. If the technology is unqualified, it may lead to the death of sumac in serious cases. Therefore, in the field of lacquerware, there is a saying called "one knife in a hundred, one catty of lacquerware". The traditional tool for collecting lacquer liquid is bamboo tube, which was still used in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province before the 1970s. At present, mussels, gummed paper and leaves are mainly used. If clamshell is used, it will take several seconds to replace it.
