Suzhou'S Footwear Exports Go Out Of The Clanging Pace.

In March 3rd, the beautiful and enchanting Jinji Lake is located in the east of Suzhou city. It has a stroll along the lakeside, blue sky, clear water and green land. The Suzhou Industrial Park, which is guided by high and new technology, the modern industry as the main body, and the third industry and the public welfare undertakings, is located on the Jinji Lake.

Whistle warning and Precaution

Footwear products in the production process, the use of glue is particularly large, a footwear enterprise in Suzhou consumes 550 kilograms a day.

There are a large number of organic solvents in the glue. Some solvents are strictly restricted in Europe and America. The RAPEX-CHINA system has reported that the benzene content in our export glue exceeds the standard.

The inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Suzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau has whistled early warning and gave special attention to glue. It reminded enterprises to pay attention to the RSL and REACH regulations of the US clothing and Footwear Association, and to investigate the use of glue in footwear enterprises, especially the sports shoes and leather shoes manufacturers, focusing on the inspection of glue composition and drying time.

In a sports shoe manufacturer, inspector Xiao Zhang also found out the problem. She found that the company mixed gasoline and xylene as solvent in the glue, and the product's drying time was short and xylene in glue was not easy to volatilize.

Xiao Zhang knows the danger of xylene and urges enterprises to improve the formula of glue.

After the test, the enterprise chose 120 industrial gasoline as solvent to solve the problem of high content of xylene in the glue. At the same time, Xiao Zhang suggested that an oven should be added in the back section of the packing workshop, and the product could be completely dried through the oven to eliminate the unvolatile solvent and prevent it from happening. The safety of the product was improved.

Blocking methyl esters of fumaric acid two

Fumaric acid two methyl ester is a biocide, its main function is to prevent mold growth. The substance has been used as a desiccant, but its safety has attracted more and more attention from European and American countries. The EU directive 2009/251/EC stipulates that the product of two methyl ester of fumaric acid exceeding 0.1 mg / kg can not enter the market. Once issued, the two methyl fumarate is "spike".

As we all know, the use of desiccant for footwear is very common. How can we effectively eliminate the trace of two methyl fumarate? The Suzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau conducted a census of the desiccant in the export footwear manufacturers, checked the contents and investigated the origin, and asked the supplier to issue a statement of not containing fumaric acid two methyl ester, to register and inspect the desiccant ingredients of the enterprises regularly.

In 2010, the Bureau inspected the 250 batch of safety projects such as methyl fumarate and other safety items. No two methyl fumarate exceeded the standard in two.

Technical services to solve quality problems

In September 2010, inspectors of Suzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau learned that when the enterprise supervised, the leakage of rubber soles with PU soles was serious, and the leakage rate was over 30%.

This problem puzzles enterprises for a long time and is hard to solve.

The inspectors immediately discussed the solutions with the enterprise's technology and quality department. The inspection company took part in the process design, production process setting and key process quality control of the product, and found the cause and solution of the leakage.

Finally, the technological process sequence was adjusted. The original process flow was first on the upper surface, then the adhesive tape was sealed, then the gas line was placed, and then the first one was adhered to the waterproof seal, then the upper side was pushed, the hammer was hammered to reinforce the sealing performance, and finally the gas line was put.

The new technology has been tested for one month. After several tests and tests, the problem of leakage of rubber shoes has been successfully solved, and the pass rate of products has increased to 97%.

The enthusiastic support has perfectly explained the concept of Pro business service of Suzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau, helping enterprises successfully cope with foreign technical trade measures.

It is gratifying to note that no recall, claims and returns occurred in the whole year of 2010, which added a bright color to the booming industrial park in Suzhou.

Related hints

Facing the increasingly stringent laws and regulations of importing countries, footwear manufacturers should attach great importance to and actively respond to them.

Enterprises should compare their products with the requirements of laws and regulations of the importing countries, find out the corresponding relationship and take the necessary self-control measures.

Enterprises with test conditions can conduct a thorough inspection. Enterprises that do not have testing conditions can check and detect the products produced by the third party organizations, find out the weak links, and take measures as soon as possible.

If the materials do not meet the requirements, they should select materials that are substitutable in time to avoid losses and negative effects. At the same time, we must strictly organize the production according to the technical regulations and standards, and we must not neglect any minute link.

Inspection and quarantine departments should carry out targeted testing, strengthen inspection and control of toxic and harmful substances, and eliminate hidden dangers of insecurity.

Quality assurance should start with the process design of technical personnel. The accuracy of process design is very important to the production process. A new process design must be tested, and only 100% accuracy can be put into production.

In the process of supervision, the inspection and quarantine departments should give full play to their technical advantages, serve them with enthusiasm and guidance, and discuss with enterprises and technicians to improve the quality of products.
