"You haven't met them, you've never shook their hands, you've never shared each other's stories, but somehow they've always understood what you've created with your heart and love." Seiko is perfect, and users can see the excellent quality, but also feel the pure craftsmanship.
In this issue, CIAA has an exclusive dialogue with Chengdu Jialaibao Decorative Plate Co., Ltd., an antibacterial logo product company, and specially invites General Manager Wei Yufu to interpret the ingenuity manufacturing road of Jialaibao for us.
01 Favored by customers, actively layout and develop antibacterial materials
Since its establishment in March 2006, Chengdu Jialaibao Decorative Plate Co., Ltd. has been focusing on the professional production of multi-specification impregnated paper veneer wood-based panels. Over the years, the company has been actively engaged in the research and development, production, sales and service of decorative panels, and has won wide praise in southwest China with its unique and differentiated functional products, and is deeply loved and sought after by many home improvement consumers.
The reason why it can be favored by everyone, General Manager Wei Yufu analyzed, is mainly due to the following aspects.
1. Continue to deepen R&D and launch a healthy series of plate products. In recent years, due to the epidemic of coronavirus, it has had a great impact on the physical and mental health of the people. The company grasped the new market trends in a timely manner, and since 2020, it has continuously developed a series of healthy plates: Kanglai board, Kangbao board and Kangjia board. Through the innovation ability of the enterprise, with the help of the development of science and technology, the health effect of the product is increased, the green barrier of the space is built, and the safety and happiness of the user is improved, and the green, low-carbon and environmental protection concept advocated by the state is implemented into the whole system and the whole process, and the iterative upgrading of the product lays a sustainable foundation for the high-quality development of the enterprise. Enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises, and add luster to the healthy life and high-quality development of the society. On May 12, 2023, General Manager Wei Yufu, as one of the drafting units, was invited to participate in the kick-off meeting of the group standard of "antibacterial and antiviral veneer wood-based panels".
2. Complete the 3 systems and green product certification. In May 2023, the company successfully passed the review of the ISO expert review team and obtained three certificates of ISO9001 quality management system certification, ISO14001 environmental management system certification, and ISO45001 occupational health and safety management system certification, becoming the first batch of enterprises in the southwest home furnishing supply chain industry to obtain three system certifications. According to the requirements of the "Green Product Certification Implementation Rules - Wood-based Panels and Wooden Floors" issued by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China, the company obtained the green product certification in June after the certification, evaluation and approval of professional institutions from the site, production capacity, process links, product sampling, etc.
3. Obtained the authorization to use the CIAA antibacterial mark. In September 2023, the company joined the Zhongguancun Huizhi Antibacterial New Material Industry Technology Innovation Alliance (CIAA), and by joining the CIAA, the company can obtain more technical resources, industry information and market opportunities, and jointly carry out technical research and cooperation with other member units to promote the development and application of the antibacterial new material industry. In December, the company's veneer wood-based panels obtained the CIAA antibacterial mark authorization, reflecting the company's active investment and R&D strength in the field of antibacterial materials.
02 Insight into the new trend of household materials, healthy boards to meet consumer needs
At the time of the vigorous development of the current health industry, consumers' understanding of antibacterial plates has changed significantly. The ongoing impact of the pandemic has brought unprecedented attention to issues such as healthy living, health protection and disease prevention. In the post-epidemic era, from the perspective of long-term prevention of germs, antibacterial and antiviral materials will become one of the hot spots in the research and application of new materials.
Indoor is an important place for people to work and live for a long time, data shows that most people spend 70%-80% of their time indoors, indoor air quality and safety are closely related to people's life and health and quality of life. On the one hand, the board used for indoor home decoration and furniture is a place for microbial breeding, and on the other hand, it is also a diffusion carrier for pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, which is easy to cause environmental pollution. Long-term exposure to an environment with high microbial content makes the human body susceptible to a variety of diseases, such as respiratory diseases, allergic symptoms, etc., which affect people's health.
Therefore, people are not only satisfied with the beauty and environmental protection of the indoor environment, but also pay more and more attention to the biosecurity of the indoor environment.
Antibacterial products have been widely used in home appliances, textiles, medical, plastics, coatings and other fields. With the improvement of living standards, people have put forward higher requirements for the safety and comfort of the indoor environment, and antibacterial and antiviral veneer wood-based panels have also come into being.
03 Functional and healthy sheets, ideal for creating a healthy environment
Health boards have shown their indispensable application value in many fields such as campus furniture, office furniture, custom furniture, health care furniture, hospital furniture, etc., as well as in a wide range of scenarios such as the whole home and the whole decoration project in the decoration industry. The antimicrobial properties of this sheet create a healthier and more comfortable living and working environment for consumers. Functional health board is an ideal choice to create a healthy environment, which can not only meet the needs of consumers for beauty and comfort, but also provide a strong guarantee for health.
General Manager Wei Yufu said that Jia Laibao has developed many new products in terms of antibacterial function. In November 2020, the company developed the "Kanglai Plate" that releases negative oxygen ions, and the induced amount of air negative ions reaches eight times the industry standard, with excellent performance, radioactive (Class A) detection, all of which meet safety requirements, and it also has the effect of removing aldehydes and deodorizing. In December 2021, the company launched a new product "Kangbao Board", which has antibacterial and anti-mildew functions, and all indicators have met the requirements of relevant standards. In July 2023, the company upgraded and developed the "Kangjia Board", which is to extend and strengthen the antibacterial and anti-mildew efficacy chain with stronger antiviral properties. In addition to the antibacterial and antifungal performance that continued to meet the standard, the results of the two durability tests also met the requirements. The other two antiviral properties (influenza A virus H3N2 and enterovirus EV71) and durability will be sent for testing after the official release of the standard of the Forest Products Industry Association's group standard "Antibacterial and Antiviral Veneered Wood-based Panels".
Talking about the future development of antibacterial function of new products and plans, General Manager Wei Yufu said that in the next step, the company will cooperate with other furniture industry chain supporting enterprises such as edging to develop functional series of products, supporting the company's healthy boards, helping downstream customers to facilitate the application and improve product competitiveness, and further study the use of classified substrates and functional boards, and classify and combine them for different use fields and application scenarios.
04 Jia Laibao X antibacterial logo to build a healthy living environment
The antimicrobial performance of healthy board is an invisible force, which is "invisible existence, untouchable reality", but it is actually very important to people's health. Therefore, it is necessary to reveal its true effect through professional testing methods. However, such an evaluation method still seems too abstract and difficult to understand for the average consumer.
In order to solve this problem, the CIAA has developed a series of technical standards for evaluating the hygienic and safety performance and antimicrobial performance of antimicrobial products, and based on this, the antimicrobial mark has been developed to convey the invisible (quality) with visible (patterns). Once the product is labeled with the antibacterial mark, it means that the product has obtained a test report from a CIAA-accredited third-party antibacterial testing laboratory with CMA and CNAS qualifications, and its hygienic safety performance and antibacterial performance meet the strict CIAA technical standards.
Through this ingenious visual communication, we provide consumers with safe, antibacterial and effective antibacterial products, provide endorsement for consumers to recognize the antibacterial performance of healthy boards, and then create a green, healthy and comfortable living environment for consumers.
The units authorized to use the CIAA antimicrobial mark not only mean that their products have reached the industry's high standards in antimicrobial performance, but also mean that they must assume the responsibility for product performance and quality management.
Faced with the CIAA's question of "how to manage the performance and quality of antibacterial products", General Manager Wei Yufu replied that Jia Laibao and a company in Shanghai jointly developed a new inorganic composite three-in-one (antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal) liquid antibacterial agent. The principle of antibacterial, antiviral and anti-mildew is to denature bacteria and viruses and produce killing effects, with long-term spectral characteristics, and will not produce biological resistance of bacteria and viruses;
In addition, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of product quality, Jia Laibao has taken a series of strict measures, such as special personnel, full-time, professional on-site guidance and supervision in the process of adding to the processing of preparations, signing cooperation agreements with partners, installing supervision and monitoring facilities, ensuring the confidentiality of parameters and process technology, and adhering to the company's own technical capabilities and intellectual property rights. In addition, the company will conduct routine re-inspection of the relevant performance of finished products every year to ensure the stable performance of products and meet the trust and needs of customers.
Through these measures, consumers can choose Jialaibao's antimicrobial sheet products with the CIAA antimicrobial mark with greater confidence.
