Relevant reports show that only 36 kg of milk is consumed per person per year in the country! The rate is far below the world drinking milk standard. Besides, the amount of milk consumed by Chinese is about only one-third of the average level of the world dairy industry. Have you been drinking dairy today?What nutrients does a dairy product give us?Dairy products are mainly composed of water, protein, fat, lactose and rich minerals. Billions of people around the world consume these high-quality nutrients from milk and dairy products every day.People also use the fat floating characteristics of milk to make a variety of dairy products.Liquid milk (sterilized milk, yogurt), milk powder, condensed milk, milk fat (cream), cheese, cream, other dairy products. How can dairy products preserve nutrition effectively?Dairy products are rich in various nutrients, providing people with nutrients; however, they may also become the natural medium of microorganisms, causing deterioration of dairy products. Unsuitable storage is prone to cause a series of chemical changes that accelerate these deterioration processes and let nutrition become a hazard.Different dairy products have different storage methods and time; we arrange the information as follow.Fresh milk, as known as pasteurized milk, usually filled in glass bottles or fresh milk house box and needs to be refrigerated.Normal temperature milk, after high temperature sterilization, commonly used in Tetra Pak packaging, carton pack, etc., does not require refrigeration.Yogurt, fermented by a number of bacteria, most of them need to be refrigerated. The ingredients are similar to milk, but the lactose ratio is reduced by about 30%. Those who are lactose intolerant can choose yogurt.Yogurt drink (including milk drink), general yogurt, sour milk, lactic acid bacteria drink, fruit milk, etc., can be stored at normal temperature. Packaging styles are different to save nutritionTo preserve the best nutrients in dairy products in different circumstances, we use kinds of packaging methods after sterilized.Common packaging methods for dairy products are:Aluminum foil bag, the sun cannot penetrate, can be aseptic filled, being suitable for normal temperature or cold storage, and having long-term preservation characteristics. In addition to dairy products, Aluminum foil bag is also used to fill juice and tea.Carton and paper cups, with waterproof plastic film, commonly used in packaging milk and juice.PET bottle, with lightweight, being shatterproof and easy to carry.Portable flexible packaging, being reusable convenience and space saving. Considering the convenience of children's consumption and hand-held, portable flexible packaging always has a vertical bag with nozzle, or squeeze tube packaging.Tex Year provides hot melt adhesives for professional dairy packaging applications:Straw adhesive for aluminum foil bag application: Tetra Pak 765T, SA320, Combibloc 302ELaminating glue for paper box, paper cup and bottle cap: 318B, 318APET bottled yogurt cup paper ring glue: 767KLaminating adhesive for portable flexible packaging applications: Eclin Pack 909E You are welcome to contact Tex Year for more dairy-compatible adhesive products.Tex Year is a leading manufacturer of packaging and adhesive applications in the Chinese dairy industry.

Most common corrugated box packaging material is made of paper, which is lighter than wood, has sufficient hardness, and is easy to cut the size. But paper corrugated boxes are susceptible to water immersion, humidity, or mildew damages. Packaging material corrugated cardboards have different surface hardness and waterproof treatment designed to provide waterproof and load protections during transport. The level of difficulty for packaging material adhesive also increases due to the protection needs. Therefore, selecting a suitable packaging material hot-melt adhesive is critical.In addition to paper corrugated boxes, PP plastic corrugated boxes are also available on the market. PP plastic corrugated boards (PP corrugated) are made via polypropylene (PP) hot-melt pressing. This recyclable and environmentally friendly plastic material has light weight, high durability, good moisture resistance, and good load capacity compared to that of paper. PP corrugated is also very suitable for packaging agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables to keep them as fresh and nutritious as the moment they were picked. PP polypropylene is a difficult to bond packaging material. General hot-melt adhesive cannot meet the requirements. Tex Year understands the hot-melt adhesive needs for your PP corrugated material bonding process!

What are VOCs?VOCs is the acronym for Volatile Organic Compounds. The definition of VOCs is different among countries. They usually refer to the organic compounds that volatilize easily at room temperature. Burning of fuels and gases produced by transportations are the main source of outdoor VOCs. If it's indoors, they're usually produced from building or decoration materials, furniture, household appliances, cleaners, and so on. (Source: Wikipedia)As the air pollution becomes an increasingly serious problem in recent years, many countries established regulations to govern the air quality and speed up the reduction of the use of VOCs in major industries by promoting greening of industries and improving the quality of the atmospheric environment to protect the health of human beings.VOCs and air pollutionThe environmental trend of low VOCsThe Environmental Protection Administration governs the products containing VOCs, including adhesives and sealants, and sets a limit value of their concentration to reduce the emission of VOCs.Our core value is to provide environment-friendly, innovative, and safe products and protect the interests of our customers to meet the requirements of the laws and regulations.

Adhesive Tape Complete Guide: Manufacturing Process & ClassificationWhat is tape adhesives?Adhesive tape is the most commonly used packaging and sealing tool and office stationery. It is packaged for shipment or office paper sticking, paper tape decorating notebooks, etc. Through adhesive tape, the purpose of close adhesion and decoration is achieved. Benefits of Adhesive TapesOffering several benefits and are widely used for various applications due to their versatility, convenience, and performance characteristics. Here are some key benefits of adhesive tapes:Versatility:Adhesive tapes are available in a wide range of materials, sizes, and adhesive formulations, making them suitable for diverse applications.Temporary or Permanent Bonding:Adhesive tapes offer the flexibility of both temporary and permanent bonding options.Convenience and Cost-Effectiveness:Adhesive tapes provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for bonding and joining.The Structure of the TapeThe general structure of the tape mainly includes adhesive, backing, bottom paper (or called release paper, release liner), as well as the invisible surface treatment agent of the substrate, which is the most basic and common.​​​​​​​Common types of tapes include single-sided tape, double-sided tape, foam tape, OPP tape, aluminum foil tape, automotive cloth baseline tape, etc.What Materials / Components are Used in Adhesive TapesThe earliest adhesives were extracted from animals or plants. In the nineteenth century, rubber was the main component of adhesives. In modern times, various polymers are widely used to make glue. Talking about the adhesive within tapes, it is the key component of the tape responsible for bonding. Different adhesive formulations are used depending on the application requirements. Common adhesive types include:Acrylic Adhesive:Offering good adhesion to a variety of surfaces, excellent temperature resistance, and durability. They are versatile and widely used in many applications. Acrylic adhesives are available as water-based or solvent-based adhesives:Water-based Acrylic Adhesives:This type is also called emulsion acrylic adhesives. They have polymeric compounds dispersed in water and surrounded by a surfactant. Surfactant lowers the surface energy of the acrylic polymer, increasing the wettability of the surface to be bonded. Water-based acrylics are inexpensive compared to their solvent-based counterpart. However, being water-based, these adhesives are less resistant to moisture and heat.Solvent-Based Acrylic Adhesive:Using a solvent carrier to deliver the adhesive properties. They offer high initial tack, good bonding strength, and can be used for various applications.Rubber-Based Adhesive:Providing excellent initial tack and flexibility. They are often used in applications that require instant adhesion and conformability.Silicone Adhesive:Being known for their high-temperature resistance, low tackiness, and ability to adhere to difficult surfaces, such as silicone substrates.Hot Melt Adhesive:Being solid at room temperature but melt and flow when heated. They provide fast-setting properties and are commonly used in packaging and assembly applications.Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive:Tex Year is committed to the development of adhesives used in the tape industry, and develops a series of environmentally friendly pressure-sensitive adhesive products for the tape industry, providing adhesives required for various characteristics, including hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives and water-based emulsion pressure-sensitive adhesives, UV pressure sensitive adhesive series, etc.What Backings are Used in TapesThe common types of substrates for pressure-sensitive adhesives include plastic film (including synthetic paper), paper, cloth, metal, etc., or a composite substrate that combines any two or more of the aforementioned materials; common The types of tapes include single-sided tape, double-sided tape, foam tape, OPP tape, aluminum foil tape, automotive cloth baseline tape, etc.The backing or carrier material provides structural support to the tape and determines its physical properties. Here are some common backing materials:Paper:One of the most basic and widely used materials for adhesive tapes. It is economical and suitable for applications like masking, painting, and packaging. It can be plain paper or crepe paper, which is used for masking tapes.Polyester (PET):Strong and durable, they have good resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, making them suitable for demanding applications such as electrical insulation and automotive.Foam:Have a foam-based backing material, such as polyethylene foam or PVC foam. These tapes are used for applications where cushioning, sealing, or mounting is needed, such as weatherstripping and mounting of mirrors or signs.Film:Use materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene film as the carrier. These tapes are transparent, flexible, and used for applications like packaging, splicing, and laminating.The choice of backing material depends on the specific requirements of the application. For example, if you need a tape that can withstand high temperatures, you might choose a PET-backed tape. If flexibility and conformability are essential, a fabric or foam-backed tape might be more suitable.Tape Manufacturing Process(Film blowing → Gluing → Rewinding)After the film is blown, the film is applied to the coating machine to add hot melt glue, water glue or other adhesives. In this process, the adhesive is selected according to the required viscosity and purpose of the tape. After the application is completed, the tape is ready!Film blowing → Gluing → RewindingTape manufacturing processPopular Types of Adhesive TapesDestructive Tape/Adhesive for Sealing TapeProvide all kinds of adhesives for express bag sealing and packaging sealing, which can quickly produce adhesive force. It can be applied to express bags of various printing materials and has good heat and cold resistance.Temporary fixing glue with weak adhesionWith indoor hooks, product auxiliary instruction labels, etc., it provides weak adhesion, good cohesion, no oil leakage, no glue residue, and good retention.Adhesive for paper tapeCoating 10um can reach a peel strength of 300-600g/in. There is no residual glue during peeling, and it will not cause damage to paper and books. It is widely used for pasting paper, beautifying, and decorating.Adhesives for anti-counterfeiting tapesThe colloid has low odor, does not contain any solvents, does not require drying time, so the process efficiency is high, and it is friendly to the production environment and employees. In terms of coating process, each coating weight can reach 40-50g/m2 at a time.Tex Year is committed to the development of adhesives used in the tape industry, and develops a series of environmentally friendly pressure-sensitive adhesive products for the tape industry, providing adhesives required for various characteristics, including hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives and water-based emulsion pressure-sensitive adhesives, UV pressure sensitive adhesive series, etc.Texyear provides a full range of Hot Melt Adhesives and Glues, or CONTACT US if you need further assistance.

Who is the winner in the market? MPO or EVA Hot Melt Adhesive?Metallocene Hot Melt Adhesive(MPO) and EVA series hot melt adhesives, what is the difference?What is Metallocene Hot Melt Adhesive(MPO)?Metallocene refers to a class of catalysts used in the polymerization process to produce a specific type of polyolefin. Polyolefins are polymers derived from olefin monomers, such as ethylene and propylene. Metallocene catalysts enable the production of polymers with unique properties, including precise control over the molecular structure and a narrow molecular weight distribution.What is EVA Hot Melt Adhesive?EVA Hot Melt Adhesive refers to a type of hot melt adhesive (HMA) that is made from Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymers. EVA is a thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in various industries due to its excellent adhesive properties and versatility.TEX YEAR leads you to this century competition and helps you clarify everything once and for all.Advantages: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltEthylene vinyl acetate (EVA)Metallocene polyolefin (MPO)Commonly used basic polymerWider operation temperature range than EVAThe type and quantity of wax and resin controlling the clotting time and stickinessLighter color and less odorFiller allowed under specific conditionsGood thermal stability Quick operation setting Lower densityWe have complete EVA production lines for our “TEX YEAR” products. The adhesive strips and packaging glues, in particular, are in a leading position in the industry.Products in response to the development trend of the international and domestic markets are also produced under the brand name “TEX YEAR.”Properties: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltMetallocene hot melt adhesive - comparison of properties│TEX YEARThe Proportion of MPO and EVA is 0.90 and 0.98, respectively. Though the weight of both adhesives are same, MPO is bigger, has higher mass and, thus, more usable adhesive amount, making it more advantageous in this respect.When comparing under the same conditions, the experiment proved that MPO hot melt adhesive can be applied to 4 more pieces than EVA!!Total application weight: 10gramApplication thickness/piece: 40mmOperation temperature: 160℃~180℃Strengths: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltIn fact, both EVA and MPO hot melt adhesives can meet the strength requirements of the customers. However, the specific weight, density, and volume of the Metallocene hot melt adhesive as well as the same strength with less MPO than EVA enable a saving of 10~20% use amount of the MPO adhesive in comparison with the traditional EVA adhesive. This is obviously an outstanding advantage of the MPO hot melt adhesive.Shapes: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltMetallocene hot melt adhesive - comparison of shapes│TEX YEARIn addition to the properties and advantages, neat and clean shapes are required to make the first impression. This is more the focus of MPO than EVA. The arrangement of the Metallocene hot melt adhesive is more neat and tidy. It is relative not stringy and, thus, can produce more beautifully shaped finished products to sell at a higher price.Durability: Metallocene Hot Melt VS. EVA Hot MeltMPO hot melt adhesives have much higher stability than EVA. This is demonstrated in the following experiment.During a prolonged durability test at 180℃ for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 148 hours, the MPO series products show a thermal stability much better than EVA as illustrated in the figure below. The yellowing effect of the MPO adhesive in the aging process is much lighter than EVA. What an outstanding performance of MPO!Thermal stability comparison testMetallocene hot melt adhesive - comparison of thermal stability│TEX YEARThe Metallocene hot melt adhesive seems to become the only focus after a series of 5 tests, but, in fact, the EVA hot melt adhesive also performs very well in many respects. It surely has special advantages and features to stand on the top of similar products for such a long time.The EVA hot melt adhesive has been on the market for many years. It is highly acceptable, has a wide range of applications, and is sold at a lower price. Most important, it does not require repurchase or replacement of equipment or resetting of parameters. It has better compatibleness than the Metallocene hot melt adhesive. Honestly, both of them have their own advantages. It is suggested to select the products depending on your requirements to ensure choosing most suitable products that can produce the best results.We have complete production lines and professional supports for our TEX YEAR products.

In addition to marking, hot melt adhesives are applicable to tires in “resistance against puncture and air leakage” of tires and provide important functions to protect personal safety.Flat tire resistanceAccording to the statistics, about 40% of the national traffic accidents are attributable to tire failure, and flat tires represent more than 70% of the tire failure accidents. In Taiwan, one person every 6 minutes dies from flat tires on average and more than 100 thousand people die from puncture at high speed every year! These terrible facts arouse more attention to the safety of tires and higher awareness of people to select safer run-flat tires.From the viewpoint of products, “Run on Flat” indicates tires with blowout prevention functions and precautions rather than “precluding blowout” of tires. There are two types of run-flat tires on the market: traditional run-flat tires (or RSC tires) and self-sealing tires.The self-sealing tires have a layer of hot melt adhesive on the inner wall of the tire. When the sharp object is pulled out, the hole is filled and sealed to avoid air or slow leakage. Even when the driver drives through a sharp object, the technical coating can provide a protective buffering function and prevent the air pressure from releasing suddenly from the hole on the tire.★    We provide special flat tire resistant hot melt adhesive. It is durable to high and low temperature, has outstanding application feature, and releases limited smoke and odor during the operation.★    Our air leakage resistant hot melt adhesive for tires can reduce the risk of tire emergencies and provide reinforced tire blowout-proof functions to avoid puncture and air leakage. Tire labelingQualified tires are made by legal brand manufacturers and undergo simulation experiments and safety tests before leaving the factory. Three required elements of fuel efficiency, wet grip, and rolling noise levels are indicated on the label of tested and qualified tires. They are useful indicators showing the buffering, gripping, and operating performance of a tire.Picture★    We provide special tire labeling adhesive with outstanding surface stickiness at low temperature and excellent application performance.★    The tire labeling adhesive ensures clear and legible tire labels with smooth surface. It is durable during storage and under transport conditions. The chemical property of the adhesive enables strengthened adhesion of the label. We provide different formulas for summer and winter.

Do you know? Many joints in the car you drive every day are related to hot meld adhesives during the manufacture. Hot melt adhesives have many advantages. They are environment-friendly, do not use solvent, have stable performance, contain VOC in compliance with industrial standards, and are widely used in automobiles.A vehicle has a very narrow and well-enclosed space. The air quality related to vehicles has attracted more attention of people and, thus, the automobile industry requires very high testing requirements for the air environment in the vehicle. In particular, the adhesives used for interior decoration materials must be selected correctly to avoid air pollution in the vehicle. The low-VOC environment-friendly adhesive is the first choice to protect the physical health of the occupants in the vehicle.As for the assembly process of vehicles, on the other hand, adhesives must be endurable to high temperature and stick to challenging substrates. They must meet the requirements for emission of low-volatile compositions and fire-retardant properties.Our hot melt adhesives have low VOC concentrations and atomization values as well as high strength and high temperature resistance. In addition to the environmental requirements of the automobile industry, our hot melt adhesives meet the international RoHS and REACH requirements and the low-VOC and formaldehyde-free test specifications. They demonstrate outstanding adhesion to various materials used in the automobile industry, such as PET, PP, ABS, recycled cotton, foam, rubber, and metal.The gluing points during the automobile assembly process are described below:1.    Interior trim assemblyAdhesion of seats/electro-thermal electric bondingAdhesion of carpet, door trim and sound insulation cottonInterior wire fixingTrunk liningDoor sealing stripBaggage compartment lining2.    RoofCar topSun visor3.    LampLamp casing4.    Air filterAir filter welting5.    Oil filterEngine filter adhesive6.    Car tireAnti-blowout adhesiveTire labelingWe have met the requirements of our customers and provide total production solutions with our outstanding R&D techniques for more than 40 years and the processes of our craftsman's spirit.

Even though we have been stopped from taking overseas trips for a long time, we remember the experience of going abroad. Before boarding a plane, we have to go through the most time-consuming process, the check-in procedure. Some airport may have self check-in kiosks in place to enable passengers to check in and print luggage tags quickly. RFID tags are what we are going to talk about today.Adhesives for RFID tags What are RFID tags?RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, also known as electronic tags.An RFID system consists of a tag, a reader and an integrated middleware system. Radio frequency identification is a contactless automated identification technology which can automatically identify target objects and obtain relevant data through radio-frequency signals in any severe conditions without human intervention.The RFID technology is able to identify objects moving at high speed and multiple objects at the same time with rapid and convenient operation. Applications of RFID tagsMedical treatment, personal applications, traffic, entertainment, logistics, manufacturing, security, environment/other applications. Adhesives for bonding of RFID tags Hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives are used during the process that RFID chips are manufactured into identification tags or fare cards. In the past, twin adhesive tapes were adopted and the cost was higher.The hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives are gradually replacing the tapes in current product lines since such adhesives have excellent adhesion and adequate heat resistance and are applicable for the bonding of RFID tags to common plastic materials.7 features of hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives for RFID tagsFeatureDescriptionHigh hardnessAfter being coating with the adhesives, plug-in or contact cards show higher levels of hardness.Long-time useDirect bonding after applying the adhesives without thermal activation during the manufacturing process.Outstanding adhesionExcellent adhesion to paper or PP materials.Good heat resistanceShear adhesion failure temperature (SAFT) is 76℃.High temperature and humidity resistanceOur hot-melt adhesives can still firmly bond a paper card and a RFID chip together after being tested under a high temperature and humidity condition for three days.Excellent water resistanceWithout detachment after paper cards are soaked for a day.Good low temperature resistanceWithout detachment of bonded paper cards under -40℃.Unique features of our hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives for RFID tagsFeatureDescriptionAdvantagesWell-oil-tight paper base materialsPaper base materials do not have oil leakage problems after being strictly tested at 60℃ for 7 days.

Warm Aqueous Alkaline Removable Adhesive for Recycling and Labeling Promotes Recycling Efficiency!Worldwide, 20,000 PET bottles are sold every second!Scientists estimate that by 2021, the number of PET bottles discarded by people will reach 500 billion each year, far exceeding the number that is recycled. Environmental groups say such data is devastating for the environment, because plastic pollution has affected every ecosystem, and more and more living things will be affected, rivaling climate change in severity.Less plastic bottles are recycled, and there will be more plastic in the ocean than fishWhere do the used PET bottles go?It is estimated from the recycled weight that Taiwan's PET bottles are used up to 4.7 billion per year. After deducting the amount of recycling, it is equal to 188 million PET bottles per year.Most of the bottlings actually end up in landfills, as well as our oceans. Around 5 million to 13 million tons of plastic enter the oceans every year, where it is eaten by seabirds, fish and other creatures.The distance between recycling and environmental protection may be farther than you thinkPlastic recycling needs to be shred, washed, melted and then remade to be successfully recycledPET bottles are generally accompanied by various labels and label glue for fixingIf the product label on the plastic bottle is not completely removed during cleaningThe efficiency of resource reuse will be reducedTherefore, the choice of glue for sticking labels is very critical at this time!![Sorting]→[Bundling]→[Shredding]→[Washing]→[Melting]→[Recycle] What can we do about PET bottle recycling/label recycling?The best way to promote more efficient recycling of PET bottles is to use warm aqueous alkaline removable adhesive instead of general labeling glues in the production process.As an adhesive expert, TexYear developed the warm aqueous alkaline removable adhesiveThe label can be effectively pasted without falling off.

Using recyclable glue on beer manufacturing, contributing to a sustainable ecology!In the hot summer, having a glass of cold beer is one of life's great pleasures.Do you know that the plastic wrap of beer cans turns out to be a killer of marine life?Compared with other beverages, the packaging of beer is more environmental friendly. Only one plastic ring can put several cans of beer together for customers to take. However, the plastic film of beer packaging cannot be recycled and is light and thin. If it is rushed into the sea, it could become the hidden murderous intent in the sea, causing sea turtles, dolphins, and seabirds to be unable to eat, starving to death because their stomachs are stuffed with plastic.How important is the reduction of plastic packaging!As a packaging material, plastic has the advantages of lightness, thinness and low cost. Many commodity packagings contain plastic components. However, plastic cannot be completely decomposed in a short period of time, and it is easy to pollute the land, ocean, and even the air during the decomposition process. According to United Nations statistics, about 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean every year, and these wastes eventually turn into plastic particles, which enter the human body through the food chain can endanger health. In recent years, consumers have finally realized that plastic reduction not only protects the earth's ecology, but also protects the safety of food, air and drinking water. In daily consumption, the concept of plastic reduction is gradually being taken into consideration in purchasing.The plastic-reduction beer packagingA well-know beer brand released a new type of packaging in 2018, which uses recyclable glue to fasten beer cans together, and small pieces of plastic handles to replace the traditional shrink film packaging of beer, claiming to be able to reduce plastic by 76%. The concept is to use the joints between the beer cans to apply hot melt adhesive between the cans to fix them, and only add a plastic handle outside the six-can package to achieve the purpose of reducing plastic. It is currently available in the UK and Norway markets. The design of plastic-reduction packaging can save the equivalent of 60 million plastic bags a year, and has the opportunity to reduce plastic by 1,200 tons per year.Recyclable adhesive replaces plasticAdhesives cannot damage the printing on the can, cannot affect the quality of beer, and must be able to withstand extreme refrigerated temperatures between storage, transportation, consumer end, and withstand the temperature changes of high sunlight exposure during shipping. Consumers can easily separate the two beer cans, and the residual glue on the beer cans will not stick.Finally, the glue residue on the beer can can be easily removed from the aluminum can for recycling purposes, and the glue can be recycled along with the beer aluminum can.TEX TEAR provides a large range of Sustainable & Compostable Adhesives. Packaging to reduce plasticAt present, only the famous beer brand uses such plastic-reduced packaging. It was developed by a century-old German company. In addition to beer cans, this plastic reduction packaging technology can also be applied to the packaging of PET mineral water rooms. In order to enable the entire industry to achieve the goal of plastic reduction, it will share the new technology with the industry.In this era of rising environmental awareness, plastic reduction is a trend in the food industry. The green transformation and positioning of major bottled water plants and breweries will be able to attract more consumers. Therefore, food manufacturers must think about how to use more environmental friendly products way of producing goods.In the application of plastic reduction in packaging, Tex Year has a record of cooperation with customers in recyclable glue and packaging hot melt adhesives.

Tex Year GPS (Green Platform Strategy) – 4 Platforms, Products and CertificatesTex Year GPS (Green Platform Strategy) is a strategy and also a platform. It is a strategy for our company's new product development direction in the next five to ten years; it is also a platform for our upstream suppliers, partners, and downstream customers to collaborate in green industries. On this platform, everyone has a common goal, which is to develop sustainably.The vision direction of Tex Year are green, safe and healthy. At the same time, our company has been focusing on the development of green products for more than 40 years. Until today, and with the trend of the world industry, it has proposed various material solutions for carbon reduction, including biomass, renewable low-carbon materials. Using the methodology of circular economy to improve life cycle benefits and assist customer products to provide low-carbon solutions in the design of product recycling, reuse, and material reduction.In 2021, a green material strategic cooperation platform will be integrated. There are four main development scopes, including the bio-economy platform, the circular economy platform, the low-carbon economy platform, and the green economy platform inherited by Tex Year.[Green Economy Platform]The green economy platform is launched by green, safe and healthy. As long as the product development under this theme can be listed as the development direction of the green economy platform, such as: solvent-free water-based adhesive and hot melt adhesive, reduce health hazards and environmental protection impact; another example is the halogen-free flame-resistant hot melt adhesive, which not only increases the safety of the customer's products, but also reduces the final disposal of the product. A healthier manufacturing environment for the operator.[Low-Carbon Economy Platform]The low-carbon economy platform is the most important sustainable demand recently. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is directly linked to the global temperature and has a huge impact on climate change. Therefore, carbon reduction is the general trend, and the goals of various countries are also announced in these two years. They have successively proposed, and in turn, major global brands have also formulated their carbon reduction strategies and acted as pioneers in carbon reduction. Tex Year is no exception, the projects on the low-carbon economy platform list solutions that directly provide low-carbon: including lower energy It can also replace the adhesive tape, reduce the use of resources, and assist customers to achieve low-carbon industry 4.0 lights-out factories; low-temperature operation of hot-melt adhesives can reduce energy consumption when customers use it; there are also low-carbon bio-based hot melt adhesives, providing customers with products with a lower carbon footprint.[Circular Economy Platform]Circular economy platform, the simplest appeal is to assist customers in the design of products that can be reused in the life cycle of their products, or the materials of their products can be recycled and reused, or the design of reducing the use of product materials. In order to realize the value experience of customers, the research and development of materials in Tex Year has three important directions. First, it is easy to disassemble: mainly to assist customers after pasting and assembling, if they need to be recycled or reused, they can use different processes, allow customers to easily disassemble product components. For example, when recycling plastic containers, Tex Year provides clean recycling hot melt adhesives, or provides mechanically disassembling UV adhesives when laminating electronic components. Secondly, homogeneous recycling: mainly to assist customers when recycling its product materials, it does not need to be disassembled; and at the same time, it is recycled with its materials. For example, in the use of mattresses, hot melt adhesives of the same material as non-woven fabrics are provided. Third, reducing the amount of material used, whether it is to reduce the density of the product and provide the same viscosity, can reduce the amount of adhesive used by customers, such as providing the same viscosity. A low-density PO-based hot melt adhesive.[Bio-Economy Platform]The bio-economy platform has two important research and development directions, one is biodegradation and the other is bio-based. The main appeal of biodegradation is to reduce plastics, reduce petrochemical products, and reduce the conversion of underground carbon into carbon dioxide and release it into the atmosphere; the main appeal of bio-based is to provide renewable material resources and directly reduce carbon emissions. In order to win the trust of customers, Tex Year sent biodegradable and bio-based hot melt adhesives to the third certification unit for testing, and obtained the German DIN compostable and bio-based marks as follows: compostable mark, 20%~50%, 50% %~85%, more than 85% bio-based label. In fact, after testing, our hot melt adhesives have bio-based content as high as 68% and 92%. It can provide lower carbon hot melt adhesives for customers to use.The above is the strategic directions of Tex Year in the development of new products led by GPS, as well as the cooperation platform provided to our upstream suppliers and downstream customers to jointly complete high-value projects and products in response to the general trend in green, sustainable development and solutions. Tex Year and all the strategic partners of GPS, we will benefit from this and sail to the new blue ocean together.
