Is it harmful to the body to touch the paint on the mouth of the cup when drinking water?

Maybe many friends didn't pay attention to the content shared by editor today. Maybe some of them noticed it, but they consciously ignored it due to lack of knowledge in this area.


If you are reading the article, you can compare it with the stainless steel water cup you are using.When you drink water, will your mouth touch the paint coating?Perhaps you find that the mouth of your water cup is not painted, so is this water cup a "thermal cup" for daily use?Perhaps you find that the mouth of the water cup you use has a paint coating.When drinking water, your lips will touch the coating surface. Do you want to ask what's the matter?


At present, most of the traditional heat preservation cups of water cups sold on the market are not covered with paint coating due to the structural design.Take the coffee cup as an example, many cups are covered with paint coating, if you are more careful.Through the e-commerce platform search, you will also find that some coffee cups of the same type are coated and some are not. Why is this?


The reason for these differences is still from the perspective of health.In many articles, editor has mentioned which spraying processes are available on the surface of the water cup, and the proportion of painting and plastic spraying process is the largest.Because both paint and plastic powder are chemical products, in addition to heavy metals, there will also be harmful substances such as butyraldehyde. In addition, some paints have certain water solubility.So if there is paint coating at the mouth contact position when drinking water, if it is water-based paint, it will release harmful substances to pollute the drinking water and cause harm to the human body.


The water cup exported to overseas ten years ago was clearly required that the position of the cup mouth and the area where the mouth can be contacted should not have any spray paint or powder coating.Even if some paint splashes on the mouth of the water cup during spraying, it is not allowed.


However, in recent years, the paint and plastic powder materials used for daily necessities such as water cups and kettles that are exposed to people's mouth have greatly improved.For example, paint not only has water-based paint, but also has food-grade paint on the market, which is not only safe and harmless, but also environmentally friendly, so now some water cups in the market are also sprayed with coating.


Of course, there are many reasons for the coating, some of which are beautiful, some of which are due to the product structure and processing method.However, no matter what the reason is, the basis is that the paint meets the requirements of safe food grade and harmless to human body.


So why not all the mouth of the water cup are coated?In this article, my friends should pay attention to the fact that in a strict sense, only the coating that reaches the safe food level and is harmless to human body can be used for the spray coating of the cup mouth, which is not to say that all paint and plastic powder materials on the market are safe and up to standard.


The higher the material requirement, the higher the material cost, so not every factory will use these materials. Secondly, it also depends on the requirements of the appearance design and structure of the water cup.For the sake of safety, if you can't tell whether it is safe or not, we recommend that you choose more water cups with only polishing process instead of spraying, so that you won't have more concerns when using them.
