Replacement Of Water-Based Adhesive &Nbsp In Shoemaking Market

August 1st, recently, in

"How long does it take to replace the water-based adhesive?" "compared with the traditional oil-based adhesive, the use of water-based adhesive for shoe material can save 4 workers in a production line."

Recently, "Jinjiang shoe material Adhesives Industry Summit Forum", Hongxing Erke, Jordan, fly and many other brand enterprises responsible person exchanged recent experience and confusion of innovative shoe material adhesives.

Farewell to unpleasant smell

Reporter: compared with the traditional oil-based adhesive, what is the cost-effective advantage of water-based adhesive?

Xiong: in the shoe factory's oil-based rubber factory, it has been covered by unpleasant volatile gases for a long time. Every year, a large number of organic solvents are released into the atmosphere in these shoes factories. After organic solvents enter the atmosphere, a lot of photochemical smog and acid rain may be formed.

In contrast, the water-based adhesive plant can be smelly and environmentally friendly without the exhaust system.

For consumers, water-borne adhesive bonded shoes no longer contain large amounts of volatile organic solvents, and are more comfortable and healthy.

Wu: because of the thicker oil adhesive, the workers need to brush two times each time, and the glue resistance is large.

After using water-based adhesive, the workers can stabilize the sole and vamp with a single brush, which not only reduces the work intensity of the workers, but also saves the labor cost for the enterprises.

Take the enterprise as an example, after using water-based adhesive, the average pipeline can save 4 workers, and 16 lines can save more than 60 workers.

Reflected in terminal retail, this means that consumers can buy more environmentally friendly shoes at a lower price.

Tian: water based adhesives have been in China for more than 10 years. However, due to inadequate attention to environmental protection by some enterprises or fear of changes in shoemaking process brought about by new materials, skilled workers have to readjust to adjust the way of brushing, resulting in delay in the construction period.

With the success of some shoe manufacturers in Quanzhou, the water-based adhesive has been more and more welcomed by enterprises in our city in recent ten years. Now, nearly one or two enterprises in the early stage have begun to introduce water-borne rubber shoemaking in the production lines.

Crack down on trade barriers

Reporter: how is the use of the enterprise and the market recognition of water-based adhesive?

Xiong: at present, some EU countries regard environmental factors as a weapon for trade protection. In the light of environmental protection regulations and standards, import is restricted by the protection of the ecological environment, natural resources, human beings and animals and plants. For example, the European Union restricts the volatile organic solvents content in sports shoes or leather shoes glue, so as to set up trade barriers, resulting in the loss of some export enterprises which do not use environmentally friendly shoe materials.

Wu: in recent years, European and American importing countries have more stringent requirements for the environmental protection of shoes.

If domestic shoes fail to meet the local environmental indicators, they may face the dilemma of price discount or even return and destroy.

In order to meet the needs of international environmental protection, at present, domestic shoe manufacturers such as Nike, Adidas, and Hongxing Erke, Jordan and other brand shoe companies have used environmentally friendly shoes such as water-based adhesives.

For enterprises, the use of environmentally-friendly materials can not only produce products that meet international standards, enhance product competitiveness, but also establish corresponding technical standards, improve the technological content of products, set up corporate image and brand reputation with excellent quality, and gain the recognition of the international market.

Reduce raw material costs

Reporter: can shoe manufacturers replace new materials to save costs?

Bear: from a cost point of view, the water glue of 15 kilograms per barrel is about 600 yuan, which is 2 times more expensive than the traditional oil-based adhesive. However, the water based adhesive generally has the characteristics of less consumption, and the actual dosage is 1/3 of the oil adhesive.

Similarly, the production of a pair of sneakers with the same quality is reduced by 10% compared with the original ones.

At present, many domestic brands have successfully used water-based adhesives, such as red dragonfly group, after using water-based adhesive, more than 5000 production workers do not need to wear masks. At the same time, due to the low amount of water-borne glue, the original high power consumption fan can be laid off, and the cost of raw materials and electricity will be more than 2 million 500 thousand yuan a year.

Of course, enterprises must realize that when the new shoe materials are first being used, the cost may increase, and it takes half a year or even longer to adapt to the pition stage. However, enterprises can use management to reduce the waste of glue.

For example, when training workers, the factory can adopt training in a form of point to area, that is, training a small number of workers first, and then driving other workers after they can skillfully operate.

Tian: Although the price of new material water-based adhesive is not unattainable, its matching drying equipment has brought many capital bottlenecks to many enterprises.

Due to the long drying time and high drying temperature of water-based adhesive, the drying process requirements are strict. Therefore, enterprises must disrupt the previous process and introduce new equipment for technological pformation.

The replacement of the equipment requires an average production line of about 200000 yuan, which is a great expense for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In fact, the government often gives preferential policies to encourage enterprises to use environmental protection materials and make technological pformation projects.

Enterprises should pay more attention to the declaration of technical renovation grants every year. After the pformation of the equipment, they can apply to the government for funding for technological pformation funds.

Erythrina commentary: responsibility for a bucket of glue

It seems that only a small process change, the impact is enormous, can refresh the working environment, benefit the health of employees and consumers, help to open up the green channel of the international market, enhance the brand and image of the enterprise, and reduce the production cost.

A small bucket of glue has undertaken such a great social responsibility.

With so many benefits, why are there many enterprises unwilling to try? Indeed, the cost of initial investment is quite large, and the production process should be familiar with it again. However, if labor pains can happen, enterprises will be able to walk ahead of the ranks and will not want to change far behind. Is this "labor pains" difficult to withstand?

Enterprises that can grow bigger are always more distant than others.

Just stare at the temporary "loss" in front of us, so it is very difficult for such an enterprise to be competitive.
