Leather Industry: Improving The Quality Of Raw Materials To Break The Bottleneck Of R & D

"Downstream

Now, the demand for raw materials is higher and higher. As the upstream supplier, the local leather enterprises are putting pressure on them.

A few days ago, reporters learned from the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission that after the technical diagnosis of the industry, some members of the leather industry association began to carry out targeted technology research and development.

Domestic resin is difficult to meet the quality requirements.

Over the past two years, domestic and foreign customers of clothing and footwear manufacturers have improved their materials, functions and environmental protection standards.

It is required to purchase more environment-friendly and functional leather shoes. Garment enterprises require the quality of garment leather to meet the brand standards of foreign clothing. "

Reporter from Quanzhou

The Association understands that the market of leather products in Quanzhou is mainly related to bags and leather, garment leather, shoe leather, military leather, automobile leather and special leather. The quality of raw materials needs to be improved, and the functional innovation, production process and environmental protection problems arising therefrom are perplexing the leather enterprises in our city.

"Before, enterprises have also thought of various ways to meet the needs of downstream purchasers. However, due to the differences in the quality of domestic resins relative to foreign resins, the synthetic leather products produced can not reach the quality of foreign countries. If the raw materials such as Bayer are used abroad, the cost of enterprises will increase."

Jinjiang Lanfeng tanning Co., Ltd., the person in charge.

Last year, the price of leather raw materials increased by about 20%. The price of leather raw materials has declined since the beginning of this year, but the downstream price has also been reduced. At the same time, the quality of raw materials has been raised. The leather products industry has suffered enormous cost pressure.

R & D leather scrap recycling technology

"At present, some leather enterprises at home and abroad, in order to ensure product quality and reduce costs, adopt the technology of real leather recycling and recycling, and Quanzhou enterprises can also try it."

Ding Zhiwen, doctor of China leather and footwear industry research institute, said that the world's largest automotive leather supplier, 70% of its synthetic leather products, is recyclable leather fiber.

This regenerated leather made from genuine leather is essentially leather.

Ding Zhiwen said that using the technology of leather scrap recycling and crushing and filling, after printing and PU compound processing, the "recycled leather" can satisfy the downstream enterprises to improve the breathability and comfort of clothing and shoes leather, and reduce the production cost of the finished products in the original quality.

Experts suggest that Quanzhou enterprises can also improve the function of raw materials and solve the problems of single function and narrow market.

"It produces many kinds of functional products, such as antibacterial synthetic leather, breathable synthetic leather, flame retardant synthetic leather, wear-resistant synthetic leather and so on.
