Foreign Garment Enterprises: Seeing The Chinese Market And Seeing China'S Standards Clearly

In view of this problem, interviewed the country.

Carcinogen: the true face of invisible killer

Meng Lingxiu said formaldehyde, pH and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes are the three most easily detected carcinogens.

They are becoming invisible killer of human body through clothing close to human body. What is the true face of this invisible killer and how many destructive powers are there?

Formaldehyde: formaldehyde gives textiles shrink proof, anti wrinkle, iron free and easy to decontamination functions.

But it produces strong stimulation on the respiratory tract and skin of the human body, triggering airway inflammation and dermatitis.

In addition, the skin is also an initiator of many allergies.

The laws and standards of various countries strictly limit the formaldehyde content of products.

PH value: the surface of human skin is slightly acidic to ensure the balance of permanent bacteria and prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, the pH value of textiles is conducive to the protection of human body between slight acid and neutral.

In addition, if the textile is in strong acidic or alkaline conditions, it will not only be easy to damage, but also irritate the skin.

Degradable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes: azo dyes are the most widely used synthetic dyes for textile and clothing in printing and dyeing processes. They are used for dyeing and printing of many natural and synthetic fibers, and also for coloring paints, plastics, rubber and so on.

Under special conditions, it can decompose more than 20 kinds of carcinogenic aromatic amines, which can change the DNA structure of human body and induce cancer through activation.

Unsafe

Domestic enterprises: implementation of production quality monitoring, cost risk reduction

As early as January 1, 2005, the national standard GB18401, the basic safety technical specification for national textile products, was implemented in China. In January 1, 2010, the national standard of 10 kinds of garments, such as suits, coats, trousers and neckties, had been formally implemented. The new national standard for the first time put forward specific requirements for formaldehyde, pH value and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye content.

Since the national standards have been expressly provided, and if the enterprises are detected unqualified products, they will also face losses from the shelves, fines and public opinion. Why are there unsafe ingredients in clothing and how should they be controlled?

Meng Lingxiu pointed out that there are two main sources of clothing pollution: one is the use of pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, etc. in the process of planting raw materials to control pests and diseases. These toxic and harmful substances remain on clothing, causing skin allergies, respiratory diseases or other toxic reactions. They are called ecological sources of production.

The two is in the process of manufacturing, using oxidants, catalysts, flame retardants, whitening fluorescent agents and other chemical substances, these harmful substances are left on the textiles, so that clothing is once again contaminated; the later stage of plastic clothing will also use chemical substances containing unsafe ingredients, and will also cause pollution to clothing, which is called the source of consumption ecology.

The source of production pollution of clothing pollution is due to the lack of strict quality control at the time of incoming materials, and the subsequent processing without testing or cleaning times, which makes the residual material experience in every step of the garment manufacture as raw material, and appears on the clothing market, and comes to the consumers, endangering the safety of human body. This is like a pea without chewing, experiencing the digestive system of the human body, and it is still intact.

Therefore, enterprises should take good care of the first hurdle, and make basic checks on the raw materials selected in product design.

The quality control is implemented in the production process instead of simply putting quality control in the last part of the factory.

After the selection and design of the raw materials are completed, the intermediate production process of clothing should also be strictly controlled, so as to minimize the source of consumption of clothing pollution.

In the process of dyeing and ironing, in order to save costs, enterprises will choose some low cost oxidants, catalysts, flame retardants and whitening fluorescent agents. If they do not label "safe" stains, they will easily cause harmful substances residues, and the frequency of cleaning is not enough and other factors will cause these harmful substances to flow into the market further.

Foreign enterprises: spotlight the Chinese market and see China's standards

Enterprises that have been tested for substandard products include both domestic and foreign enterprises.

However, most foreign enterprises only pay attention to their own standards or international standards for a long time. They will not take into account the discrepancy in the quality standards system at home and abroad, especially in details.

If the EU standard stipulates that the azo dye intermediates banned in the products are 30ppm, the banned azo dyes in China are more stringent than the corresponding European standards, 20ppm.

Many foreign enterprises do not know much about the domestic quality standard system, or they do not understand it well, resulting in various quality problems after foreign products enter the Chinese market.

At present, foreign brands have noticed the importance of standards, and have begun to improve them to the best of China's standards.
