Footwear Export Caution Against Mould Inhibitor, EU Ban Import DMF

The Ministry recently issued an economic warning to remind Shishi's shoe makers that the European Union has recently adopted the decision to ban imports of DMF. In the leather shoes exported to the EU, DMF is used as a mildew inhibitor carefully to avoid damaging events such as the export and destruction of leather shoes exports due to improper use of fungicides.

Most of the products in the manufacturing industry are genuine leather shoes, and dermal products are prone to mildew spots in damp climates.

The chemical name of DMF is two methyl fumarate. It is a chemical mildew inhibitor. It has been invented and applied for patent for 70 years. It is widely used in the sterilization and mildew proof treatment of leather, footwear, clothing and other textile products.

When used at a low dose, there is no harm to the human body. When overdose or strong heat is applied, DMF will volatilize from the packaging bag and infiltrate into the leather shoes. It may cause some people to have symptoms such as redness, rash and other dermatitis and allergies.

At the beginning of this year, the product safety committee of the European Commission approved the decision to prohibit the import of DMF by the voting Committee and submitted it to the European Parliament for approval.

In the traditional export market, Shishi exported to the European Union.

The number is also gradually rising, Shishi.

Has been increasingly accepted by the vast number of consumers in the European Union.

The decision has met with strong internal opposition and it is possible to cancel the relevant measures by the end of this year.

Therefore, at this juncture, Shishi shoes should not be taken lightly.
