NPEO is the abbreviation of nonylphenol ethoxylate, chemical name of Nonylphenol Ethoxylates, commonly used surfactant in textile production, was released to the environment will break down into Nonylphenol (NP).It is a kind of environmental hormones, estradiol and progesterone in roles similar, resulting in reduced sperm count, abnormal genital mutilation, has become a natural enemy for biology.
Addition to the NP and NPE,, textiles produced there are many hazardous substances in all aspects, to ensure the safety of products effectively non-toxic, businesses need to implement a comprehensive solution.Hazardous substances in the regulatory process, what is the best supply chain solution? “Source control "-this is the best answer.NPE main deposit is textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries and detergent in the, producer once using has contains toxic material of printing and dyeing auxiliaries and detergent on May caused toxic material of residues, if from procurement dye of material of links on be control, that from source Shang ensure shopping and using security of dye auxiliaries, on can thoroughly address eventually clothing products in the NPE residues problem, also can address production process in the NPE in sewage in the of emissions problem.
If you are the chemicals, including dyes, additives and pigments producers or distributors, such as:
Recommended self whether products contain the substance.If they contain, actively looking for alternative and timely notifications and raw materials;If not included, the initiative to produce relevant certifications and raw materials;If the product has been chemical ecological safety testing and certification, test reports or certificates issued by active repeat verification to reduce customer troubles and avoid wasteful duplication of costs, and have buyers trust.
If you are printing and dyeing enterprise or accessories:
Recommends that the chemicals used in troubleshooting your company whether they contain the substance so as to bring to the fabric during the manufacturing process, and to focus on sewage residues of such substances;Recommends that the procurement has been through testing or certification of the product, you can tell if a suppliers provide products can produce chemical test report and certificate, thereby buying eco-certified product.
If you are a clothing and raw materials trading company, as well as the brands:
Recommends the establishment of rational ecological management and control programme to monitor supply chain delivery of hazardous substances and residues, to take appropriate measures to ensure that the substance was not used from the source, real 100% effective control;Recommends that the procurement has been through testing or certification of the product, you can tell if a suppliers provide products to eco-product test reports and certificates issued by, thereby buying eco-certified product.
NPEO alternatives are many, such as fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (FEO), the effect of alkyl polysaccharides (APG) glucose, n-alkyl amide (AGA), nonionic Gemini surfactant, polyoxyethylene ester of rosin esters (RPGC), fatty acid polyethylene glycol ether (FMEE).
Solutions
NPEO to ensure that the final product meets the requirements, key to check the source to ensure ecological security of buying from the source and use of dyes. PTS Testing Service is a global provider of quality testing and certification services, and products to a wide range of industries provides chemicals restricted substances testing and certification, or certification tests and to issue internationally recognized reports.
