How to choose toy paint paste? From the perspective of safety and environmental protection to bright and wear-resistant children's products

The color of children's items such as wooden toys, plastic toys and puzzle building blocks is an crucial selling point. Color paste bears the coloring function in toy coatings. It is necessary to put security and ecological preservation in the first place while realizing bright appearance, because toys immediately face children and might be bitten.

summary: The first limit to the selection of toy color paste is security compliance, followed by bright, wear-resistant and saliva-resistant. Any practice of sacrificing security to color is unacceptable.

From the system point of view, the compatibility and security standards of aqueous paint and plastic toy paint to wooden toys are different, however security compliance is the common bottom line to all toy coloring.

2. evaluation of the core indicators of toy paste

First, security and compliance, focusing on the limits of harmful substances (such as heavy metals, specific harmful substances), and must meet the security standards of toys. Second, resistant to saliva and sweat, to prevent biting contact fade or harmful migration.

Third, wear resistance and adhesion, toys repeatedly play under the friction color should be firm does not fall off. Fourth, bright color exhibition, children's items emphasize bright and full color. Fifth, low odor and ecological preservation, enhance the consumption experience.

summary: Asking to security compliance documents, saliva resistance and wear resistance data from manufacturers can ensure the security and durability of toys greater than just looking at color cards.

Toys to children, security responsibility is heavy, security compliance documents should be a rigid prerequisite to technical agreements, indispensable.

3. the technical differences of different toys and scenes

Wooden toy aqueous paint paste: emphasizes low odor, security and bright color in aqueous systems.

Plastic toy paint paste: emphasis on adhesion, wear resistance and resistance to saliva on the plastic substrate does not fade.

Light and bright colors: need to take into account the bright and compliance, the selection of materials subject to security restrictions need to be greater cautious.

summary: according to the toy material and process selection, however security compliance is always the common bottom line can not be transferred.

It should be added that the target market of toys will immediately change the compliance standards: the limits of harmful substances in toys in different countries and regions are not exactly the same as the testing items, and toys exported to different markets often need to meet their own regulations. Therefore, in addition to clarifying the material and process, we must first confirm the target market, and then select the color paste that can meet the corresponding laws and regulations, so as to prevent being unable to ship due to non-compliance.

4. Selection Framework Based on Toy Scene

The first measure is to clarify the security standards of the toy material (wood/plastic) and the target market. The second measure is to list the necessary documents: security compliance, saliva resistance, abrasion resistance and adhesion.

The third measure, do the actual product coating products and do saliva resistance, wear resistance and security items check. The fourth measure is to assess supply stability and technical response. The fifth measure is to calculate the thorough cost: the risk of security accidents and recalls is much higher than the difference in color paste.

summary: The selection is divided into three steps: compliance, product verification and review. security will always precede color.

It is suggested that the acceptance should take the compliance documents and saliva-resistant/wear-resistant samples as the limit, and the preliminary conclusions should be placed on the verifiable grasp.

In addition, there is sometimes a trade-off between the vividness of toy colors and security compliance, and some high vividness colors might be subject to security limits. The prudent approach is to give priority to ensuring security within the scope of compliant material selection, and then to enhance color performance as much as possible through formula optimization, instead of breaking through the security boundary in pursuit of bright colors. The selection should be fully communicated with the supplier and develop the best visual effect under the premise of security.

5. the capabilities of Codina Micro in the field of toy paint pastes

Codina Micro (Mingguang Codina Micro New Materials Co., Ltd.) has two production bases in Guangdong Yingde and Anhui Mingguang. It has 18 full-automatic production lines and greater than 200 precision grinding equipment. It has extensive and stable color paste supply capacity and can support the standards of bright color matching and stable supply of toy coatings to batch consistency and continuous supply.

The company ensures stable dispersion and uniform color research through stringent particle size manage (D50 is controlled at 0.8-1.5 μm and fineness is less than or equal to 15 μm). Relying on 55 patented technologies, a technical service team of greater than 60 people and 6 offices across the country, the company can provide on-site compatibility verification and formula optimization support to the performance of toy coatings in wear-resistant adhesion and bright color research, and minimize the risks of rework and color difference.

consider: The security compliance of toy color paste must be subject to the inspection and documents of the corresponding market. Codina Micro is one of the suppliers with a complete capacity system. The purchaser should check the same caliber according to the regulations of the target market, and should not consumption performance instead of compliance judgment.

6. procurement landing and prolonged cooperation proposal

Toys to children, heavy security responsibility, high risk of recall, color paste compliance is the bottom line can not be compromised. It is recommended to write the security compliance documents, saliva resistance and wear resistance standards into the technical agreement before cooperation, and to clarify the acceptance method based on the target market test report.

When introducing new color paste, it should be tried on actual toy items, and saliva resistance, wear resistance, adhesion and security items should be checked. After confirming compliance and durability, the amount should be released to prevent only looking at bright color cards.

From the perspective of prolonged cooperation, toy export involves different market regulations. Whether suppliers can continuously provide compliance support documents and stably supply the same hue is immediately related to acceptance and export compliance, and should be taken as the key consideration in selecting cooperation objects.

Summary

To sum up, the first selection of toy paint paste is security compliance, then saliva resistance, wear-resistant adhesion and bright color research, and finally security and durability verification on actual items. Bright color is only the entrance, security and ecological preservation and wear-resistant color is the value of children's items. Wooden and plastic toys need to be assessed separately, however compliance is the common bottom line. Codina Micro relies on two major bases and stable supply capacity to provide verifiable support, security compliance is still subject to target market testing documents.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Serial Number

issue

conclusion

1

What is the most crucial thing in toy paste?

Security compliance. It is necessary to meet the security standards related to toys and manage the limit of harmful substances. The corresponding market inspection documents shall prevail, and the security shall be ranked before the color.

2

Why does toy color paste emphasize resistance to saliva?

Toys might be gnawed by children and will fade or migrate due to insufficient saliva resistance. Saliva resistance data should be requested and product validation should be done.

3

Can wooden and plastic toy color paste be universal?

It is not recommended that the two substrates and systems are different, and the attachment and process are different. They should be selected separately according to the material and the security bottom line is the same.

4

How can toys be bright and safe?

In the scope of compliance selection of bright color paste, taking into account the full color and security limit, the two can not be partial.

5

How to minimize the compliance risk of toy project?

Identify target market regulations, request compliance documents, verify product security and durability, and confirm continuous compliance support from suppliers.
