Poison (milk) board in the melamine incident, Wen tearful appeal, entrepreneurs in the body should flow the blood of morality, in the pursuit of profit maximization at the same time, don't forget to take a social responsibility.

Protect the environment, employee health care is the responsibility of the enterprise, but there is a lot of cardboard paste manufacturers are still in extensive use of prohibited substances -- formaldehyde resin additives, before the poison is behind the subsequent enterprises blindly pursue profit maximization results at the same time, some irresponsible suppliers deliberately conceal the congenital defects, exaggerating the effectiveness of the product know the truth, to deceive the enterprises and consumers, to achieve the purpose of profiteering.

1, cheap truth

Formaldehyde is an inexpensive and efficient preservative. It can effectively increase the adhesive strength of paste, increase the speed and reduce the cost. But formaldehyde has long been listed as a banned product in China's priority list of toxic chemicals, and WHO has identified it as a carcinogen and teratogenic substance, and is one of the potentially powerful mutagens.

In order to increase production efficiency and maximize profit, some paperboard factories often use additives which are seriously exceeding the formaldehyde content in the process of making paste. For example, they are the most commonly used three aldehyde resin additives, formaldehyde content is less than tens of thousands of PPM, and more than 10 million ppm. Formaldehyde in additive is not directly equal to the formaldehyde content in finished paste, paste the times water rate is about 1:3.5, so the content of starch paste in about 1/4.5, but in the current production process, adding amount of crosslinking agent in the starch is about 3%. Following detection of a product of formaldehyde content in the report reached 107112ppm, after the formaldehyde content conversion paste is about 713.3ppm, although not to the additive concentration in one percent, but still exceeded the national standard of dozens of times! Three formaldehyde resins include urea formaldehyde resin (UF), phenolic resin (PF) and melamine formaldehyde resin (MF)

Formaldehyde quality test ultra! Super! Super!

In the above test report, more than a number of companies produced additives, formaldehyde content actually reached one hundred thousand, and even more than ten thousand ppm.

Formaldehyde crisis imminent!

2, the price of poison

The harm of formaldehyde does not lie in overnight, it will erode human health for a long time, even if it is less measuring contact, long-term accumulation will still lead to bad results. Scientific research shows that formaldehyde has a strong carcinogenic and carcinogenic effect. A large number of records show that the effects of formaldehyde on human health are mainly manifested in abnormal smell, irritation, allergy, abnormal lung function, abnormal liver function and abnormal immune function.

The formaldehyde volatilization temperature of only 11 degrees, in the heating process in the production of paste, will escape into the environment. The formaldehyde concentration reached 0.06-0.07mg per cubic metre of air, the children will have mild asthma; when the concentration of formaldehyde in indoor air is 0.1mg/m3, there is smell and discomfort; up to 0.5mg/m3, can cause irritation of the eyes to tears; 0.6mg/m3, can cause throat discomfort or pain; higher concentrations can cause nausea and vomiting. Cough, chest tightness, asthma or pulmonary edema. Reaching 30mg/m3 will cause immediate death. And cardboard factory workers every day in this high formaldehyde environment work for more than ten hours, the health hazards of unimaginable. Not only that, once the cardboard is applied to downstream packaging enterprises, the residual formaldehyde will be developed with the electricity supplier and courier channels flowing into every household, becoming countless people around the hidden poison. Long term exposure to low dose of formaldehyde, can cause chronic respiratory disease, increase the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, colon cancer, brain tumors, menstrual disorders, stimulate the nucleus gene mutation, repair DNA single chain crosslinking and DNA and protein cross-linking and inhibition of DNA damage. It may also lead to pregnancy syndrome, chromosomal abnormalities in the newborn, leukemia, and memory and mental decline in young people. Consumers in this unwitting situation, has become a victim of illegal enterprises to earn profits.

3, you, my responsibility

The cardboard is invading our lives quietly, and the formaldehyde crisis has arrived. Resist the illegal toxic products, to maintain our health, is every consumer with the responsibility of entrepreneurs, however the domestic anti storm is not blowing, China toxic products has aroused waves in foreign countries.

In March this year, the United States CBS company "60 minutes" program, the exposure of the hardwood flooring retailer Lumber Liquidators part of the company's products formaldehyde exceed the standard of serious news, this batch of compound wood floor is from China forest company. American consumers and related institutions have launched more than 100 lawsuits against forest treasure company, while the United States has also raised doubts about composite flooring, especially China's composite wood flooring. Including HomeDepot (Jia Debao), LOWE's (Lloyd), the number of home building materials retailers and supermarkets have been announced to stop sales of wood flooring from China, the China building materials industry international reputation has been a huge blow.

Abuse of formaldehyde additives is not only the building materials industry, will initiate rights litigation, not only the United States consumer. China workers and consumers are aware of the huge harm poison board sooner or later, when facing charges, although only a part of the illegal enterprises, but the trust crisis is formaldehyde board to take up the whole industry. Maintain the healthy development of the industry and public health is the responsibility of every entrepreneur and consumer, allowing the proliferation of toxic cardboard, and hurt everyone's health. We need people of insight and responsible entrepreneurs to join hands, with external supervision and internal resistance parallel, the toxic and illegal products completely out of the cardboard industry.

Again, we call on more entrepreneurs with a sense of social responsibility and a moral baseline to join the action to protect the environment and workers' health and refuse the use of illicit drugs. Profits are only temporary. Only a healthy and good environment is the most precious wealth to ensure sustainable development for the benefit of future generations.
