Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) is a versatile material commonly used in various applications, from footwear and packaging to insulation and adhesives. One of the critical factors to consider when using EVA is its heat resistance. Heat Resistance of EVA General Properties EVA is a thermoplastic polymer, meaning it softens when heated and hardens when cooled. While EVA has good flexibility and durability at room temperature, its ability to withstand heat is somewhat limited compared to other materials like polyethylene or polypropylene. Temperature Range Softening Point: EVA typically begins to soften at temperatures between 140°F to 180°F (60°C to 82°C). Beyond this range, the material may start to lose its structural integrity. Melting Point: EVA has a melting point that generally ranges from 190°F to 220°F (88°C to 104°C). When exposed to temperatures within or above this range, EVA can become molten and lose its shape. Performance Under Heat Moderate Heat Resistance: EVA can handle moderate heat levels and short-term exposure to higher temperatures, but prolonged exposure to temperatures above its softening point can cause deformation or degradation. Insulation Applications: Despite its limited heat resistance, EVA is often used in insulation applications where it is not directly exposed to high temperatures. It can act as an effective thermal barrier at lower temperatures. Considerations for High-Temperature Environments Avoid High Heat: EVA is not suitable for applications requiring high heat resistance, such as components exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, or environments where the temperature frequently exceeds 140°F (60°C). Alternative Materials: For applications where heat resistance is crucial, materials such as silicone, PTFE (Teflon), or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) may be more appropriate. Conclusion EVA has moderate heat resistance, with a softening point around 140°F to 180°F (60°C to 82°C) and a melting point between 190°F to 220°F (88°C to 104°C). While it can withstand short-term exposure to moderate heat, prolonged or high-temperature exposure can cause deformation or melting. For applications requiring higher heat resistance, consider using alternative materials better suited for those conditions.

When working with Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF), choosing the right adhesive is crucial for ensuring strong, durable bonds. MDF has a dense and smooth surface, which can make it challenging for some adhesives to form a secure bond. However, several types of glue are well-suited for use with MDF. Best Glues for MDF 1. PVA Wood Glue (Polyvinyl Acetate) Why It Works Well PVA wood glue, also known as carpenter’s glue, is one of the most common and effective adhesives for MDF. It is easy to use, readily available, and creates strong bonds with wood and wood-based products like MDF. Advantages Strong Bond: PVA glue penetrates the MDF fibers, creating a strong bond that is ideal for most woodworking projects. Ease of Use: It is easy to apply and has a long working time, allowing for adjustments before the glue sets. Non-Toxic: PVA glue is non-toxic and easy to clean up with water. Application Tips Apply a generous amount of PVA glue to the surface, especially the edges, which are more porous and can absorb more adhesive. Clamp the pieces together for at least 30 minutes to ensure a secure bond. Full curing usually takes 24 hours. 2. Epoxy Why It Works Well Epoxy is a two-part adhesive consisting of a resin and a hardener. When mixed, it forms a very strong and durable bond that is highly resistant to moisture and impact. Advantages High Strength: Epoxy creates a bond that is stronger than the MDF itself, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. Gap Filling: Epoxy can fill gaps and voids, making it suitable for bonding uneven or irregular surfaces. Moisture Resistance: Epoxy is highly resistant to moisture, which helps protect the MDF from swelling and warping. Application Tips Mix the resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply the epoxy to both surfaces and press them together firmly. Clamping is recommended to ensure even distribution and strong bonding. Curing time varies depending on the formulation, but it typically ranges from a few hours to overnight. 3. Polyurethane Glue Why It Works Well Polyurethane glue, such as Gorilla Glue, is known for its strong bonding capabilities and versatility. It works well with MDF due to its ability to expand as it cures, ensuring a tight bond even on uneven surfaces. Advantages Expanding Bond: As it cures, polyurethane glue expands slightly, filling in gaps and ensuring a strong bond. Versatility: This glue bonds well with a variety of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and MDF. Waterproof: Polyurethane glue is resistant to moisture, making it suitable for projects that may be exposed to humidity or water. Application Tips Apply the glue sparingly, as it expands during curing. Dampen one of the surfaces with water before applying the glue, as moisture helps activate the curing process. Clamp the pieces together tightly for at least an hour. Full curing typically takes 24 hours. 4. Contact Cement Why It Works Well Contact cement is an adhesive that bonds instantly upon contact, making it ideal for laminating MDF surfaces with veneers, laminates, or other materials. Advantages Instant Bonding: Once the surfaces are brought together, the bond is immediate and very strong. Smooth Finish: Ideal for applications where a smooth, seamless finish is required. Versatility: Bonds a variety of materials to MDF, including laminates, veneers, and plastics. Application Tips Apply contact cement to both surfaces and allow it to dry until it is tacky to the touch. Carefully align and press the surfaces together, as repositioning is difficult once contact is made. Use a roller or a block to apply even pressure across the bonded area to ensure a secure bond. Conclusion The best glue for MDF depends on the specific requirements of your project. For general woodworking and furniture assembly, PVA wood glue is a reliable and cost-effective choice. For heavy-duty or moisture-resistant applications, epoxy or polyurethane glue offers superior strength and durability. Contact cement is ideal for laminating MDF surfaces. By choosing the right adhesive and following proper application techniques, you can ensure strong and long-lasting bonds in your MDF projects.

On July 18, 2024, Li Jiafeng, President of China Timber and Wood Products Circulation Association, and Zhang Peng, Deputy Secretary-General and Executive Chairman of the Wood Door and Window Professional Committee, were invited by Yongtenai Chairman Zhu Jinshui to visit Huangdao, Qingdao, to visit Yongtenai's third smart manufacturing base-Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory, and jointly discussed the development trends of the industry, smart manufacturing and digital transformation, and the situation of the wood products and adhesives industry.

President Li said that Yongtenai should continue to deepen its industrial layout, increase research and development and innovation efforts, and contribute to the development of the industry with higher quality and technology. At the production site, President Li focused on understanding the production line layout, intelligent manufacturing, quality control and other aspects of PUR and gave full affirmation; at the R&D center and quality management center, President Li listened with interest to Chairman Zhu's introduction on the construction of the quality management system, and expressed high appreciation for it. He hoped that Yongte Nai would continue to play the local advantages of the manufacturing industry, accelerate the pace of domestic substitution for imports, and create a bright business card for the adhesive industry. At the symposium, the two sides also conducted in-depth discussions and reached consensus on the current economic situation. The current development status of the industry, the development trend of the wood products industry, and the application innovation of adhesive technology have laid a solid foundation for subsequent exchanges and cooperation.

On July 11, 2024, when all the star brands gathered together and major companies discussed the future, the 4-day China Construction Expo (Guangzhou) came to a successful conclusion. This year's Construction Expo is still as grand as ever. There are more than 2,000 companies participating in the 400,000 square meters of exhibition halls. The crowds are full of vitality in the home furnishing market. In the era of new quality productivity, only co-building ecology can be expected in the future. When looking back at the four-day exhibition, among the star brands, IWG Yongte Nai, a leading domestic PUR company, is particularly dazzling. This time, IWG Yongte Nai once again participated in the exhibition with new visions and achievements, using the smart collaborative supply chain strategy to plan the future blueprint, using the PUR product matrix of new product iterations to create the value of the times, and interpreting the new quality productivity with deep insight, which laid a particularly moving footnote for the Guangzhou Construction Expo. For IWG, every project development and every product launch is always targeted and targeted. The R&D of technical products based on the intelligent manufacturing system is always dominated by user needs and future market development. It is precisely because of the organic combination of forward-looking development and application-oriented development that IWG can always respond quickly to market needs in the prediction and insight, and create industry value with customers under the leading guidance. As a leading domestic PUR company, in this exhibition, IWG presented its high-quality PUR full-series product matrix at the Guangzhou Construction Expo, not only showing the phased results including PUR edge banding based on 4.0 high-speed production line, intelligent collaborative glue supply chain management solutions, AB two-component rapid composite glue with independent important raw materials, and wooden door rapid composite PUR coating process with the fastest 40 seconds per door, but also launched the new technical solution of "high-end PUR multi-material bonding", which truly demonstrated the value, heritage and scenery that domestic leading brands should have. "PUR, choose Yongtenai". In the eyes of IWG, the future PUR market will be a market where domestic brands continue to shine to replace imports. When large home furnishing companies reach the era of new quality productivity accumulation and explosion, the more responsible national brand companies must return to the track of independent innovation and value integration. With the smart supply chain system and manufacturing technology system as the basis, they will strive to respond to user needs and the demands of the times, so as to lead the market to truly realize the cooperative ecology of independent production and mutual coordination. At the exhibition, IWG Yongtenai took "New Quality Productivity of Home Furnishing Industry Supply Chain" as the theme, sharing the company's insight into the current market and vision judgment of the future industry. For IWG, when industry leaders stop to pay attention and authoritative media come to the appointment, every exchange and sharing is a reflection and anchoring of the company itself. Because of this, after 27 years of deep development, IWG Yongtenai first dared to be the first and dared to "open source" to lay a foundation for domestic PUR. After that, it took the initiative to cater to the changes of the times, deeply reformed the supply chain with five major wisdoms, and empowered corporate innovation with system construction. Nowadays, the home furnishing industry has been suffering from "involution" for a long time. The country's proposal for new quality productivity is actually lighting a beacon for the entire industry ecosystem. Instead of involution, it is better to go abroad for win-win cooperation, consolidate its own development path led by technology strategy, and effectively respond to the user market in close cooperation in independent research and development, and jointly unlock the era code of "new quality productivity". Looking back on the development of the home furnishing industry in recent years, it will be found that the era of "fighting alone" and product-oriented has passed. Today's industry is putting forward higher requirements for corporate supply chains. In the construction of the supply chain system, companies must meet multiple needs such as manufacturing leadership, supply guarantee, R&D innovation, and technical services. In this way, IWG Yongteng Nai successfully completed and put into production the Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory in 2022, marking that IWG Yongteng Nai has initially completed the strategic shift of the smart collaborative supply chain and officially moved towards a new stage of strategic upgrade with R&D collaboration, product collaboration, manufacturing collaboration, supply collaboration, and service collaboration as the five major collaborations. Under the effective operation of the smart collaborative supply chain, IWG Yongteng Nai not only achieved cost-saving and efficient continuous value creation, but also gave the company the ability to innovate independently. Among them, the Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory has achieved all-round digitalization and automation under the high environmental protection standards of petrochemical level. At present, IWG Yongteng Nai has four R&D centers (Huangdao, Laixi, Guangzhou and Singapore) and three manufacturing bases (Huangdao, Laixi and Chengdu), but in IWG Yongteng Nai's view, this is only the completion of the initial transformation of the company. In the future, IWG Yongteng Nai will continue to exert its strength and further deepen the reform with the current many technical product achievements as experience and foundation. It is with such beliefs and concepts that the second phase of the Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory is about to be put into production under close preparation this year, which also indicates that IWG Yongteng Nai will do a good job in product R&D and application service with greater determination and investment, and with a more mature supply chain system and manufacturing technology system. Here, we might as well wait for a while. When IWG Yongteng Nai makes a gorgeous turn, the home furnishing industry is bound to usher in a brighter future.

On June 13, the 2024 Light High-end (Door and Wall Cabinet) Development Summit and the "Whole House Woodworking" Technical Seminar were grandly held. IWG Yongte Nai co-hosted and displayed the latest achievements of high-end PUR multi-material bonding technology. Based on a deep insight into industry needs, IWG Yongte Durable Technology Innovation once again leads the industry change, serving brand partners and end users with new technical solutions. [IWG Yongte Nai High-end PUR Multi-material Bonding Solution] The value of the supply chain Environmental protection, appearance, delivery efficiency Improve home quality The supply chain has great potential Multi-material bonding technology makes the product expressive IWG Yongteinai's multi-material bonding solution It is about to provide timely assistance to the urgent need for product differentiation [IWG Yongteinai's high-end PUR multi-material bonding solution] The benefits of new technology Traditional bonding methods are nothing more than roller coating and hot pressing However, once high-temperature treatment is involved Wood can never avoid the "sinkhole" of deformation IWG Yongteinai uses two-component penetrating glue Smooth substrate and low-temperature curing can ensure safety [IWG Yongteinai's high-end PUR multi-material bonding solution] The convenience of dual paths Suitable IWG Yongtenai multi-material bonding solution Adopts two-component PUR penetrating adhesive bonding method Applied to EB recycled veneer process flat pasting The cost is significantly reduced under the premise of greatly shortening the delivery time Applied to PET flat pasting The cost of double-sided penetrating adhesive is lower than that of single-sided paper pressing [IWG Yongtenai high-end PUR multi-material bonding solution] Get a sense of luxury There is undoubtedly a broad space for development between high-end and ordinary Multi-material bonding solution lays an excellent misaligned competitive advantage for light high-end products Use industrial production efficiency and methods Bring a sense of quality and luxury to middle-income people

For a long time, the home furnishing industry has always been large but not strong. This is mainly because: once consumer demand is insufficient, especially when market competition is fierce, the industry as a whole is easy to fall into the quagmire of product homogeneity. At this time, there is often a lack of strong supply chain companies to lead the industry out of the quagmire and promote consumption through their technological innovation. However, this situation is also quietly changing. Just as we have strong supply chain companies like Huawei and CATL in emerging fields, IWG Yongte Nai has also seized the excellent opportunities of history again and again under the giant screen of the times to confirm its own value. IWG Yongte Nai. As an important supply chain brand in the field of woodworking adhesives, it has won wide recognition in the industry with its strong R&D strength and accurate grasp of user needs. At the "Category Leap · Technology Breakthrough" summit held in Jiashan, Zhejiang recently, IWG Yongte Nai once again led the industry and demonstrated its "high-end PUR multi-material gluing process", which has attracted widespread attention from the industry. With the continuous advancement of market demand for high-end and light high-end customization, the scope of material selection and combination application has increased accordingly. How to ensure stable bonding between different materials has become an important interest concern for brands in terms of technology. In response to this challenge, Yongtenai has successfully developed high-end PUR multi-material bonding technology and its solutions. This technical solution is not only suitable for a variety of substrates such as density board, particle board, solid wood, aluminum, etc., but also can bring high environmental performance, high appearance and high efficiency to brand partners on the basis of reliable gluing. At the seminar, IWG Yongtenai demonstrated the innovative application of PUR technology combined with EB recycled veneer technology. The EB process uses high-energy electron beams to cure paint, and EB recycled veneer is a paint treatment method before leaving the factory. The finishes produced under this process have good skin feel, anti-fingerprint, stain resistance, long-lasting color, diverse colors, and excellent environmental performance. Its industrial production is similar to printing. When EB finishes are bonded to MDF, PB and solid wood substrates, high-temperature hot pressing is generally used. The solution brought by IWG Yongtenai can effectively prevent the deformation of wood caused by heat, as well as the shortcomings of low efficiency, long product cycle and relatively limited industrial application when using low-temperature hot pressing. The innovative application of PUR gluing process combined with EB recycled veneer not only solves this pain point, but also provides strong support for the industrial production of paint products, which is expected to promote the further development of the entire industry. In addition, for the PET flat lamination process widely used on the market, IWG Yongtenai has also developed PUR penetration glue to effectively optimize the process. At present, PET is widely used as a finish through PUR flat lamination. Its advantages are that the surface is delicate and the production is efficient and convenient. However, this process has extremely high requirements for surface flatness and requires additional leveling process on the substrate processing, but there are problems of high-temperature hot pressing deformation, energy consumption and cost. The PUR penetration glue developed by IWG Yongtenai can flatten the uneven substrate and cure the base layer at low temperature to achieve the effect of leveling the paint. Obviously, this innovative process can not only reduce the cost of PET lamination, but also significantly improve production efficiency. How to achieve the quality and texture performance that high-end customization should have under the high efficiency and cost advantages of industrialization is a common concern and long-cherished demand in the home furnishing industry. As a rising national brand, Yongtenai actively undertakes the important task of breakthroughs in key technologies in the industry, and continues to present valuable innovative technology applications with "source innovation", reflecting its mission, value and upward spirit given by the times. In conjunction with the latest two-component adhesive products, Yongtenai specially launched a process method of two-component penetrating glue + PUR flat paste + finishing materials. This method can not only connect to the EB process, thereby partially replacing the paint effect, but also connect to the PET finish, and use a lower cost than single-sided PET to achieve double-sided PET bonding. Its advantage is that it surpasses ordinary products with melamine finishes in terms of material effect, quality performance, production operation, environmental protection performance, etc., and in terms of cost control, it is much better than paint process processing, and can replace solid wood/painted high-end products in some scenarios. If woodworking brand partners apply this technology and craftsmanship, they will truly achieve "real light luxury (real light high-end)" between general and high-end in terms of price positioning, allowing middle-income people to obtain their own equivalent products. The so-called "great era" refers to a period of great changes in society, politics, economy, science and technology. The current Chinese society chooses to develop new quality productivity and embrace the great era characterized by intensive scientific and technological innovation. Relevant scholars have even given a theoretical formula for the development of new quality productivity: New quality productivity = (revolutionary breakthrough in science and technology + innovative allocation of production factors + deep transformation and upgrading of industries) × (labor force + labor tools + labor objects) optimization combination It can be seen that revolutionary breakthroughs in science and technology are the first variable elements to develop new quality productivity. At this stage, any major independent technological breakthroughs in emerging fields may become a new engine for China's economy to leap forward again. In fact, it is long and difficult for chemical companies to achieve innovation. However, in the past few years of corporate practice, IWG Yongte Nai has always regarded finding revolutionary breakthroughs in technology in the industry as its highest task. In the past 1-2 years, based on solid technical research and development, Yongtenai has launched for industry partners: PUR edge banding based on 4.0 high-speed production line, intelligent collaborative glue supply chain management solutions, independent breakthroughs in important raw materials of AB two-component rapid composite glue, and the fastest 40-second rapid composite PUR coating process for wooden doors, plus the high-end PUR multi-material gluing process brought this time. With the successful completion of IWG Yongtenai Huangdao Smart Collaboration Factory in 2022, the foundation of Yongtenai's smart collaboration has been initially established. Smart collaboration is the source of R&D innovation and technical services. High-end PUR multi-material glue cooperation, as a "R&D collaboration" branch of smart collaboration, also includes product collaboration and service collaboration factors. Behind this is huge investment in funds and personnel. Obviously, on the one hand, Yongtenai is regardless of cost and contributes high-value products and solutions with independent research and development; on the other hand, it can also be seen that Yongtenai has always empowered customers around the PUR gluing process. In fact, it has long anchored PUR as the company's current unswerving technology development strategy, and the route is extremely clear.

In today's era where supply chain is king, the competition between home furnishing companies has essentially evolved into competition between supply chains. The strength of the supply chain is directly related to the competitiveness of enterprises in the market. Faced with the homogenization phenomenon of market competition, especially in the context of the arrival of the full-category era, how to break the internal circulation phenomenon and achieve differentiation of products and services has become a problem that many home furnishing companies need to solve urgently. IWG Yongte Nai, as a leading company in the adhesive industry, has a deep understanding of the pain points of the current market and actively develops innovative technologies to meet market demand. Recently, at the upcoming 2024 Light High-end (Door and Wall Cabinet) Development Summit and "Whole House Woodworking" Technical Seminar, Yongte Nai will focus on the application of its PUR multi-material bonding technology on different materials, especially the combination with EB recycled veneer technology, to promote the industrial production process of paint products. Multi-material bonding has achieved a major breakthrough Adhesion is an important link in home furnishing production, and adhesive products, technologies and processes directly determine the final quality of the product. PUR is highly respected in the industry for its excellent performance, and there is even a saying that "PUR is a must for high-end applications." At the same time, with the advent of the era of full-space customization and full-category production, the application of multiple materials has become more and more important. Enterprises and designers are working hard to create a richer and more diverse visual effect and tactile experience through the combination of multiple materials. At the same time, enterprises also hope to use this to create a unique brand identity and escape from the homogeneous involution. However, with the increasing number of multi-material applications, a major challenge has also been placed in front of people, that is, how to solve the problem of PUR in multi-material bonding. In order to overcome this problem, Yongte Nai actively responded to market demand and successfully developed PUR multi-material bonding technology. This technology is suitable for a variety of different material substrates such as density board, particle board, solid wood, aluminum, etc., which greatly enhances the flexibility of home design. By using PUR technology, designers can freely combine various materials creatively to create unique home products. PUR technology joins hands with EB recycled veneer Promote the industrial production of paint products In the application of PUR multi-material bonding technology, the bonding of EB recycled veneer is a highlight. As an innovative surface material, EB recycled veneer does not need to be painted or polished before leaving the factory. It is more environmentally friendly and of higher quality. Its unique texture and visual effects are very popular in the field of high-end customization. However, how to firmly bond it to various substrates while maintaining its beautiful appearance and paint-like effect has always been a challenge faced by the industry. Yongtenai has successfully solved this problem with its PUR multi-material bonding technology, allowing EB recycled veneer to be perfectly bonded to various substrates, which not only ensures the firmness of the product, but also gives the product a unique beauty and texture. This breakthrough application has brought more possibilities to the design and production of home products, and has also promoted the transformation of paint products to industrial production.

From May 10th to 14th, 2024, the 2024 "China Brand Day" series of activities jointly organized by the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Intellectual Property Administration kicked off at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center.

On May 9, 2024, the Guangdong Cabinet Industry Chamber of Commerce's "Integration and Empowerment·Quality Renewal" cabinet industry high-quality development conference successfully concluded at the Foshan Nanhai International Convention and Exhibition Center. IWG Yongtenai was invited to attend as the vice president unit of the Chamber of Commerce. Wu Hulin, vice president of IWG Yongtenai and general manager of the South China Theater, gave a keynote speech titled "Asking for Yongtenai: Empowering the Double Leap of High-Quality Development in the Cabinet Category", which was well received. Attention. This is an industry event and an in-depth discussion of future development directions. Mr. Wu`s content sharing is very thought-provoking. Facing the impact of the huge waves of the times, is IWG Yongtenai's determination firm enough? What are its forward-looking plans? In recent years, he has made great achievements in intelligent manufacturing, technological innovation, market expansion, etc. How does he empower the development of the industry? Where is the double leap in quality and value proposed by it reflected? Let`s find out. In the stock era, market growth slows down, consumer demands are diversified and personalized, and competition among enterprises becomes increasingly fierce. In this context, new home transactions, old home renovations, and the Belt and Road Initiative are the main battlefields in the current home decoration industry, said Mr. Wu. As the real estate market adjusts, new home delivery will usher in an era of long-term slow growth or even negative growth. The renovation of old houses and the renovation of existing houses have grown rapidly in recent years and have become a new blue ocean in the market. At the same time, in the first quarter, my country`s imports and exports to countries co-building the [Belt and Road" accounted for 47.4% of the total import and export value. Mr. Wu proposed that in line with the [One Belt and One Road" initiative, it is an inevitable trend for the home furnishing industry to expand overseas, and it is also one of the most powerful ways to cope with the challenges of the existing era. Globalization has provided Chinese enterprises with a broader market space. Expanding overseas markets can effectively solve problems such as competition involution and achieve diversified industry development and sustained growth. In the era of inventory, the role of leading companies in the supply chain is crucial. They have capital, technology, market experience and resource integration capabilities, and have the ability to lead the development direction of the industry and promote upgrading and innovation of the industrial chain. The first is to re-examine the positioning of the company and keep pace with the times. In the current era of serious quality homogeneity, how to better transform quality into value, find the right breakthrough point, work hard and work hard, and work hard to improve the quality. Value is better presented to the market and consumers to form core competitiveness; second, we must be determined to make breakthroughs, accomplish all our efforts, become bigger and stronger, increase market share, and sublimate value; third, we must pay attention to the scientific management of the supply chain and improve Collaborative capabilities, and at the same time deintermediation, to achieve the goal of further reducing costs and increasing efficiency. As early as more than ten years ago, Yongtenai was already planning the company's future global layout. At that time, taking advantage of the accelerated pace of domestic industrialization, the rapid changes in the home furnishing industry, and the market in a period of reform and demographic dividend, Yongtenai increased its R&D and production capacity layout, continuously expanded its own team, and seized market share, until it took the lead in the domestic woodworking adhesive industry. Top spot. Being prepared for danger in times of peace and always having a sense of crisis is one of the signs of a company's maturity. Every achievement of Yongtenai is a milestone on the road of development, not the end. While developing the domestic market, we always look at the world and follow the footsteps; after busy work, we always go abroad to look for opportunities; when we encounter market bottlenecks, we have the courage to launch the PUR category, even though PUR was still unknown in China at that time. It is well known that when production capacity encountered obstacles, it resolutely invested in building the industry's first smart factory in the Asia-Pacific region. The aspects that we have been adhering to and improving can be roughly viewed from five sectors. Mr. Wu said. Technological innovation: We actively invest in research and development, explore and apply advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things, etc., to improve production efficiency and product quality. Talent training: focus on cultivating talents with innovative capabilities and new technology application capabilities, and building a team that adapts to the development of new quality productivity. Process optimization: Re-examine and optimize the production process to achieve digital and intelligent transformation. Cooperation and collaboration: Strengthen cooperation with other enterprises and scientific research institutions to form an ecosystem of collaborative innovation. Strategic planning: Incorporate new productivity into the company's long-term development strategy, plan ahead, and seize market opportunities. Focusing on adhesives for 27 years, IWG has demonstrated its unique advantages in enabling high-quality development of the industry. Through the advanced intelligent manufacturing and management model of Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory, the five major synergies of R&D, products, manufacturing, supply, and services go hand in hand, bringing new opportunities to the development of the industrial chain. Common pain points for edge banding of cabinets: obvious glue lines, moldy edges, easy falling off, bulging, etc. These problems seriously affect consumers` sense of experience, gain and value when using products, and if companies cannot solve these problems The problem is that we have to pay for the negative emotions of consumers. IWG Yongtenai has been committed to solving the difficulties and pain points of gluing applications for customers. Mr. Wu said that the cabinet gluing process is a very scientific system engineering. Climate, environment, personnel, equipment, materials, glue, etc. are all important parts of the gluing system. The so-called perfect gluing quality is often due to the right time, place and people. We think about what our customers think and what the market feels like. We have established a professional technical team to identify these problems and conduct a large number of application tests. We rely on our own complete product testing laboratories, environmental laboratories, application testing laboratories and other advanced Conditions, we have solved these pain points and stubborn problems one by one. Even in 2023, we launched the industry's first 4.0 high-speed production line PUR series product-60920 series, which caused a lot of shock in the industry, especially some leading companies. Products that accompany users day and night represent an attitude towards life and a spiritual sustenance. From functionality to emotional resonance, users experience and gain not only pleasure, but also security, identity, belonging, self-realization, etc. Successful products know how to provide that extra layer of emotional support while meeting basic needs. IWG Yongtenai understands this very well. Excellent gluing technology not only gives the company's products high quality, but is also the basis for enhancing the emotional value of users. Adhesive is a carrier that carries the company's expectations for good products and also supports the value of user experience. This power is secret and great. Yongtenai PUR 60920 series products can effectively prevent mildew, antibacterial, moisture-proof, and high temperature resistance, ensuring that the products have high appearance and environmental protection performance. In particular, they have achieved true high-speed in high-speed production lines, empowering cabinet products in terms of quality and value. Double leap brings higher value and benefits to the industrial chain. As a PUR aircraft carrier-level enterprise, IWG actively explores overseas markets and gradually establishes and improves its international layout. Mr. Wu said that our footprints have spread all over Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Russia, Europe, South America, Latin America and other places, actively enhancing the company's visibility and influence in the international market!

On May 9, 2024, the second membership meeting of the fourth session of the Guangdong Cabinet Industry Chamber of Commerce, the inauguration ceremony of the fifth management (supervisory) board, and the "Integration and Empowerment·Quality and Renewal" cabinet industry high-quality development conference will be held in Guangdong Province. Foshan Nanhai International Convention and Exhibition Center was grandly held! IWG Yongtenai, as the vice-president unit of the Chamber of Commerce, was invited to attend and gave a wonderful speech. There is also a "Yongtenai Night" dinner looking forward to your arrival! Today's world is undergoing unprecedented changes. As a Chinese home furnishing industry that serves hundreds of millions of families around the world, affected by multiple pressures such as the dissipation of real estate dividends, industry ecological transformation, terminal operations, and sales model changes, it is urgent to carry out reforms and upgrades to promote high-quality and sustainable development of the industry.

Stable value, optimizing the healthy and environmentally friendly experience of public home life. Sohu Home went directly to the exhibition site and had a conversation with Wu Hulin, Vice President of IWG Yongtenai and General Manager of the South China Theater, to gain an in-depth understanding of its innovative ideas and development plans for adhesive applications in the field of customized home furnishings. The following is the transcript of the interview: [Sohu Focus Home]: Yongtenai has been in the industry for many years. Please briefly introduce some of the achievements the company has made in the field of adhesives. Wu Hulin: IWG Yongtenai was founded in 1997, which has a history of 27 years. Currently it has four R&D centers in Huangdao, Laixi, Guangzhou and Singapore, and three manufacturing bases in Huangdao, Laixi and Chengdu. Yongtenai's Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory, which will be successfully put into operation in 2022, is a zero-emission factory built in accordance with Sinopec standards. It is also a fully intelligent unmanned factory. It is built with digitalization and automation as the core and is committed to creating smart collaboration in the supply chain, marking a milestone. IWG Yongtenai has entered a new stage of "3.0 strategic upgrade". [Sohu Home Furnishing Focus]: What are the core advantages of IWG Yongtenai in R&D and innovation, including technical services? Wu Hulin: In terms of product research and development, Yongtenai faces the forward-looking needs of the market and invests a lot every year. Especially in some process transformations in the industry, we have designed many related products, subverting the traditional processing technology. Let customers' production efficiency be improved by 3-5 times through our products. On the product application service side, the advantage is that our employees, especially the technical team, are very good at guiding product applications at the customer's production line and teaching our workers and guests how to better use the product. This is what we do A distinctive feature at the service level. [Sohu Home Furnishing Focus]: In the face of increasingly fierce market competition, what strategies or methods has IWG adopted to continue to maintain its leading position? Wu Hulin: The entire market, whether it is traditional furniture or customized home furnishings, has been really booming in the past two years. In such a general environment, Yongtenai has also changed from the previous branch system to a project system and a business department system. For professional customers in some professional fields, we have broken away from the so-called supplier status in the past and participated in the production front line and even their factory planning through more in-depth docking to provide services and form strategic partnerships. The companies we currently cooperate with cover the fields of customization, wooden doors, bathrooms, traditional furniture and real estate. [Sohu Home Furnishing Focus]: Are there any new market directions in the industry that you think are worthy of attention? Wu Hulin: No matter which field, it is difficult to develop well. So we have to think about it. The goal of our business management is to give the best things to the users. After failing to reap the dividends of the times, how far it can go will depend on the company's "internal strength", that is, its own operating level and whether it is ready to cater to the new needs of the market. Each company has a different understanding of opportunities. For Yongtenai, it is to provide customized services and face the uncertainty of the market in cooperation with customers. Regarding the future direction of the market, firstly, the trillion-dollar old house renovation market can be regarded as a future growth point, and to get a share of the market, corporate strength must be continuously improved; secondly, Chinese companies should be encouraged to go overseas. Yongtenai has begun to expand overseas markets many years in advance, including Vietnam, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, Germany, Brazil, Argentina and other countries. The next step is to expand to Dubai, Mexico, Canada and other broader international markets. layout. [Sohu Home Furnishing Focus]: In what aspects do you think the Guangzhou Customized Exhibition is important to exhibitors and the industry? What is your biggest feeling at this year`s customization exhibition? Wu Hulin: The Guangzhou Customization Exhibition brings together many companies. Through extensive communication and exchange of knowledge, I think at least the general direction of the future market will be clearer. The customization industry is very inclusive and includes various categories, not just wooden doors, floors or other traditional furniture. The plan is large and comprehensive, which also means that the company's business strategy options are large enough, and you can Make it bigger, make it smaller, or move towards more refinement. If we want to talk about traffic, the traffic of leading companies is undoubtedly the largest. If they cannot compete at this level, the waist or tail companies still need to be "fine", such as the current high-end customization and the renovation of some old houses. , villa renovation is a good opportunity.

On March 27, at the Guangzhou Customized Home Furnishing Exhibition, IWG made a stunning debut with many new PUR products, which attracted widespread attention from door and window customers. At the exhibition site, Meijia Meihu conducted an exclusive interview with Wu Hulin, vice president of IWG Yongtenai and general manager of the South China Theater, and learned in detail about Yongtenai's participation in the exhibition.   IWG was founded in 1997 and has developed for 27 years. It has become a large-scale adhesive enterprise integrating R&D innovation, intelligent manufacturing, sales and services. Wu Hulin said, "Currently, Yongtenai has three manufacturing bases, respectively in Laixi, Huangdao and Chengdu. The company is headquartered in Guangzhou and has established more than 40 branches and offices. In the domestic market, wherever there is furniture, there is Yongtenai; in foreign markets, Yongtenai's business has radiated to Southeast Asia, the United States, Russia, South America, Europe and other countries and regions."   PUR hot melt adhesive gathers multiple advantages and firmly dominates the market   At this exhibition, IWG Yongtenai brought a PUR hot melt adhesive series that can be called the most popular product in the woodworking adhesive market. Talking about the advantages of Yongtenai PUR products, Wu Hulin said, "Yongtenai has been involved in this product field seven or eight years ago. From research and development to production, from application to service, it has been unanimously recognized by customers. Yongtenai PUR The most prominent advantage is that the raw material polyol is a product independently developed by us, so not only the raw material is stable, but the product also has a more competitive advantage."     Create products that are in line with international standards and replace imported products with domestic products Regarding the future development direction of the company, Wu Hulin said, "In the past few years, our most critical task is to provide our top customer groups with products that meet international needs and help achieve the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement."     After 27 years of development, IWG has been at the forefront of the industry in product application and process upgrades. Not only that, Yongtenai team also has professional service capabilities. Through the introduction of Yongtenai products, wooden door companies can greatly improve production efficiency and become a major driver for companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

#The 13th Guangzhou Customized Home Exhibition and Guangzhou Whole Home Customization Exhibition

IWG's corporate culture, employee style, and brand quality all left a deep impression on the author. After nearly thirty years of unremitting efforts, today's IWG's influence in the industry is increasing day by day. However, the market situation is changing and turbulent. How can IWG break through the fog and reach the other side? The answer seemed to be given in the management`s in-depth sharing speech. IWG's decisive decision-making and precise layout over the years not only come from the wisdom of the management, but also reflect its keen insight into the market. Now it seems that everything is just right. Eight years ago, when the PUR edge banding technology broke out on the market like the first bud in early spring, IWG's keen sense of smell captured the fragrance of hair growth. Based on its years of accumulation and reserves, IWG's forward-looking strategic new product, the first generation of PUR edge sealing adhesive, soon came out. At that time, surrounded by international adhesive giants, Yongtenai's move could be described as taking a huge risk. In addition, at that time, few domestic customers dared or were willing to try to use this epoch-making product, so it was difficult to promote it. But looking at it today, the decision made at that moment was just right. Six years ago, in order to better accelerate the application of PUR edge sealing adhesive in the industry, IWG launched a series of strategies. Among them, the one that attracted the most attention to the industry was the free delivery of related adhesive equipment to customers. This move even preceded Some machinery and equipment manufacturers in the industry. IWG's innovative move quickly received market feedback, and some forward-looking companies began to try to launch PUR edge banding equipment and PUR edge banding technology. Therefore, IWG became the first domestic enterprise to master the application data of PUR edge banding process technology. With the continuous solution of problems and pain points in application, IWG launched the second generation PUR edge sealing adhesive 60910. Its excellent characteristics of "48 hours of no cleaning" immediately became the darling of the market. Although IWG has launched more models of PUR series products with more application scenarios, 60910 has always been a star model and will always be recorded in the history of the company. From the forward-looking decision-making eight years ago, to supporting product development and technical services, and then occupying the market, IWG's PUR development pace has been consistent, and everything is just right. In recent years, with the rapid development of intelligence in the customized home furnishing industry, a large number of 4.0 super factories have emerged. Industry leading companies have gradually moved toward collectivization, intelligence, and digitalization, with high-end production lines, process innovation, product customization, and materials. Industry characteristics such as iteration are also placing higher and higher demands on supply chain companies. Five years ago, IWG started to build the Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory, a model factory for the adhesive industry, which will serve as a symbol of the launch of IWG's new development strategy. In 2022, the Huangdao Smart Collaboration Factory was completed and put into production. At the same time, the "Supply Chain Smart Collaboration" initiated by the IWG industry was officially released, which attracted widespread attention and discussion in the industry. No matter from the perspective of factory construction standards, monomer production capacity, technology R&D incubation, or from the aspects of intelligence and digitalization, the IWG Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory will serve as an important layout of the adhesive port in the entire industry chain of the large home furnishing industry. In sync with national industrial development policies and industry changes and upgrades, the decision-making and layout of IWG Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory closely follows the pulse of the times, and everything is just right. IWG has been working in the adhesive industry for nearly 30 years. It is due to its infinite love for the adhesive industry. From the 1990s to the present, IWG has witnessed the historical changes in China's home furnishing industry. In the field of adhesives, from the import of foreign products to the budding of domestic brands, from the blooming of a hundred flowers to the rise of domestic products, IWG has faced obstacles along the way. However, the heart can be warm, but the head must be cold. As one of the representative brands in the industry, IWG is always clear-headed. "Excellence, expertise, diligence and humility" are the genes rooted in IWG's blood. Based on this, we are able to examine ourselves, understand the industry, recognize the situation, and make judgments. From 2022 to 2023, after the leading companies in the industry have successively launched 4.0 high-speed production lines, the pain points of gluing have also surfaced. The existing PUR edge sealing glue cannot meet the demand for edge sealing of high-speed production lines. Without matching glue, there will be no real high speed. This is a big issue related to the upgrading of industry production capacity. IWG is a strategic supplier to many leading companies. It has paid attention to this issue very early and made quick decisions. The innovatively developed "4.0 high-speed production line special PUR edge sealing adhesive" was launched in 2023 and quickly received strong attention. . Thanks to the strong R&D and intelligent manufacturing capabilities of Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory, as well as the long-term in-depth cooperation with leading companies, the launch of "4.0 high-speed production line special PUR edge sealing adhesive" is just like the past generations of PUR products, it is the time to Products can always empower the present and lead changes. Source innovation is the foundation of IWG. Research and development rooted in the actual needs of customers is IWG's innovation rule. Coupled with precise technology output, everything is just right. Famous American management scientists Joel Ross and Michael Kami once said that a company without strategic goals is like a ship without a rudder. It can only spin in circles and wander. Han is homeless. In 2023, IWG worked together as one, worked hard to develop, and achieved impressive results. Faced with this joy, Mr. Zhu Jinshui, the helmsman, is more considering the future development direction and strategic goals of the company. "What hinders our progress is ourselves, not the times." Zhu Jinshui said in the company's annual speech. People cannot be complacent, and companies cannot be narcissistic. In the current harsh competitive environment, if we do not deeply understand the changes in customer needs, we will easily fall down. Therefore, we must be alert to ourselves and see ourselves clearly at all times. In this era of Qing Dynasty, we grew up in difficulties. "I firmly believe that as long as we are firmly integrated into our customers and continue to use our own drive to create greater value for our customers, we will maximize the value of our lives. All our knowledge must produce results in your work." Zhu Jinshui said. In "The Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean", it is mentioned that "it reaches the broad yet subtle, the most brilliant yet the golden mean". It is not only the wisdom of cultivating one's life, but also provides an important methodology for starting a business. "Going to the broad" refers to strategy and goals, observing the general trend and planning for the overall situation; "doing the most subtle" refers to tactics and implementation, controlling details and being scientific and precise in specific work. At the same time, "Mencius Gongsun Chou Part 1" mentioned "seeking others in return", which warns us to be clear-headed, always reflect on our own mistakes, correct them, constantly summarize, and achieve perfection. Striving to be ourselves is the prerequisite for us to create value for our customers. From this point of view, the conference theme of "Extending to the broad and minimizing the small, seeking to benefit ourselves" is particularly important as the guiding spirit for the future in the current development of enterprises. It not only reflects the wisdom of managers, but also reveals that IWG continues to move forward. collective norms. The famous marketing strategist Jack Trout once said that the fundamental point of marketing is: create a new field in which you can be "first". This is the law of leadership: being first is better than doing better. IWG always insists on creating value for customers through technological research and development and technical services, and drives development through innovation, strengthens strategic categories and consolidates its position, and continues to move towards new heights. Not only did it surpass itself in terms of volume, but it also achieved its goals in the strategic category of PUR.

Industry initiative: smart collaboration in the supply chain. 2023 4.0 high-speed production line dedicated PUR edge banding adhesive industry debut. The new PUR coating rapid composite process for wooden doors is the first in the industry.

On January 20, 2024, the "Hold together for warmth and rise to the sun - China Chengdu Home Furnishing Wealth Summit and Industry Annual Conference" hosted by the Chengdu Furniture Industry Chamber of Commerce and co-organized by IWG Yongtenai was grandly held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Wenjiang in Chengdu. IWG won the honor of "The Most Influential Woodworking Adhesive Brand of the Year" Cheng Hanwen, general manager of IWG Yongtenai Product Technology Center, shared the theme of "Adhesive Supply Chain Changes and New Gluing Technology Trends". He introduced new supply chain standards, interpreted PUR development trends, and shared PUR seals dedicated to 4.0 high-speed production lines. New process trends such as edge glue and rapid composite PUR coating solutions for wooden doors have received enthusiastic response. In an environment where the industry is constantly involution and market competition is becoming more centralized, every upgrade and innovation in manufacturing technology puts forward new requirements for the supply chain. In order to meet the continuous new demands of customers, we must provide better and more adaptable products to the times. Applying solutions, the new standards of the supply chain have developed into: manufacturing leadership, supply guarantee, R&D innovation, technical services, etc. This is also the reason why IWG Yongtenai deployed the Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory - to comply with the development of the supply chain and meet the needs of new supply chain standards. From the special PUR edge sealing glue for the 4.0 high-speed production line to keep the boards from falling and making the production line really high-speed, to the self-developed new generation of AB fast compounding glue to solve the crisis of raw material supply shortage, to the PUR curtain coating fast compounding solution for wooden doors to make customers faster Taking the first step, IWG always brings new surprises to the development of the supply chain! Mr. Cheng shared in his speech: Yongtenai has been deeply involved in the field of adhesives for nearly 27 years and has become a strategic supplier to many leading companies. It constantly upgrades and launches new products. New technologies are both innovation and mission. In order to adapt to customers' new production processes and meet the needs of new supply chain standards, Yongtenai will complete and put into operation the Huangdao Smart Collaboration Factory in 2022, tailoring it to customers with five major synergies: R&D synergy, product synergy, manufacturing synergy, supply synergy, and service synergy. Customized gluing solutions, using intelligent manufacturing to promote industrial upgrading, and products and services that are closely linked to reduce costs and increase efficiency for customers. PUR development trend At present, PUR adhesives are mainly used in eight major scenarios in the home furnishing industry: customized home furnishings, solid wood/board wood furniture, office furniture, solid wood integrated lumber, integrated wall panels/cladding/flat stickers, wooden doors, floors, customized balconies, etc., and are used in four areas at the same time Mainstream processes: edge sealing, coating, lamination, and flat lamination. Huge demand will continue to promote the birth of new processes and new products. Mr. Cheng said that the current home furnishing industry is gradually popularizing 4.0 high-speed production lines, which are characterized by high efficiency, fast speed, unmanned operation, no after-sales service, and strong adaptability. This also puts forward new requirements for the supply chain: traditional gluing solutions are difficult to To adapt to such a high-speed production line, the special PUR edge sealing glue for IWG Yongtenai 4.0 high-speed production line came into being. IWG Yongtenai 4.0 high-speed production line special PUR edge banding adhesive released Take IWG Yongtenai 4.0 high-speed production line's special PUR edge banding adhesive as an example. Its characteristics such as no rebound at high temperatures, no need to clean the board surface, no need for grooves, etc., and the board does not fall to the ground, meet the requirements of the 4.0 high-speed production line and realize the 4.0 high-speed production line. Really fast. IWG Yongte resistant wooden door PUR shower coating rapid composite solution released In the field of rapid composite production of wooden doors, Mr. Cheng said that the current common wooden door production processes include water glue roller coating, water glue shower coating and PUR roller coating. These production processes often have unstable glue coating amounts, dangerous operations, and difficult cleaning. Problems such as high energy consumption and difficulty in meeting environmental emission standards make it difficult to meet current industry needs. In response to this, IWG Yongtenai has developed and launched a new process of rapid composite PUR coating for wooden doors. This new process can more effectively solve the difficulties and pain points of gluing in traditional processes, reduce costs and increase efficiency while being safer and more environmentally friendly. Yongtenai builds a smart collaborative factory, collects and analyzes actual market application data, develops more suitable products, and provides professional technical services to customers, allowing customers to continuously reduce costs, continuously improve efficiency, and improve environmental protection. To be better and match the customer's pursuit of ideas. The strategic layout of IWG Yongtenai Huangdao Smart Collaborative Factory complies with the new standards and changes in the adhesive supply chain, using the five major synergies of R&D, products, manufacturing, supply, and service to accelerate the pace of PUR technology innovation and turn the supply chain into value chain!

Half a month after the "Technical Conference" ended, Somen.com and Yongtenai met again at the Shunde Exhibition. This time, we witnessed the [debut" of the PUR rapid spray coating composite solution for wooden doors. Like every time in the past, the launch of Yongtenai's latest solution may push the wooden furniture manufacturing a small step forward. And we, like an observer standing next to a new starting point, are looking forward to the future success of this "player" and are also trying to find out: to drive this adhesive company to continue to make breakthroughs and create unprecedented achievements. Where is the inexhaustible driving force for creation? During the interview, Cheng Hanwen, general manager of IWG Yongtenai Product Technology Center, inadvertently mentioned the term "source innovation", which made people feel enlightened. So we simplified it to "source innovation", and we seemed to get the [answer] immediately. 01 One dimension of source innovation: breakthroughs in raw material research and development - IWG Yongtenai - As a technology-driven enterprise, R&D is naturally the core of Yongtenai's foothold and development. From the "production-sales" model in the traditional sense, to constantly upgrading products and being able to provide solutions to customers, and then to being able to tailor-made solutions, while meeting the higher-level needs of the market that are constantly growing, Yongtenai He is also constantly improving. However, behind its transformation process, R&D has always been continuously effective. Previously, in the industry`s impression, Yongtenai`s research and development always focused on the [downstream applications" of adhesive products. Not long ago, before the 11th China Door and Wall Cabinet Technology Conference, Soumen suddenly learned that Yongtenai, which has been making great achievements in PUR products in recent years, was one of the AB two-component rapid compound adhesives. A historic breakthrough has been made in the research and development of a kind of raw material, which has completely relieved relevant domestic companies from the worries that such products may be "stuck". So why does Yongtenai turn its perspective to the "upstream" of adhesive products and engage in research and development of raw materials? In this regard, Cheng Hanwen analyzed that under normal circumstances, if manufacturers can purchase ready-made and stable raw materials overseas, they generally do not choose to independently develop and produce them, especially when the dosage is not large. The reason why Yongtenai chooses to self-research and produce raw materials is that, firstly, in view of the drastic changes in international geopolitics in the past 2-3 years, the company has predicted that a raw material supply crisis may occur, and has taken precautions to cope with the most unfavorable industrial chain situation. ; The second is to firmly hold the raw materials in your own hands, and product stability will be more and more guaranteed, making product iterative updates more advantageous. Therefore, the first dimension of Yongte Naiyuan's innovation lies in the breakthrough of independent research and development of raw materials. 02 The second dimension of source innovation: source-end R&D - IWG Yongtenai - In a utilitarian and slightly impetuous society, R&D often has different "cores", and the connotation is often unclear. For example: to achieve a technological breakthrough that fills a gap, the word "innovation" is naturally well-deserved; making small modifications and changes on the basis of predecessors is also regarded as an innovative move in today's public opinion environment; even many times, imitating competitors, The so-called "reverse" actually calls itself technology research and development. Different from the above situation, the deeper value of Yongtenai's innovation lies in its ability to stand at the starting point of technological change and start source-end research and development for the industry. Take the new generation PUR rapid composite solution for wooden doors brought by Yongtenai at this technology conference as an example. It is a brand-new solution composed of new PUR composite adhesive and new shower coating equipment. In this set of solutions, the new PUR composite adhesive is the latest masterpiece of Yongtenai, which goes without saying; the focus is on the innovation of shower coating equipment, and Yongtenai is also the leader and main promoter. Why would Yongtenai go ahead of the equipment manufacturers and take the lead in doing things that the latter are better at? Cheng Hanwen explained this: The development of new equipment is always slightly later than the development of new adhesives. If a new type of glue has come out, but there is no corresponding equipment for application, the "charm" of the new product will not be shown, and it will be difficult to promote this product in the market. Obviously, Yongtenai does not want to [wait" for equipment manufacturers to upgrade equipment because they discover the value of new adhesives. On the one hand, this can be seen as driven by immediate commercial interests; on the other hand, objectively, Yongtenai is also Proactively promote equipment updates and changes, paving the way for more efficient solutions at the source. This is the second dimension of Yongte Naiyuan`s innovation. 03 The third dimension of source innovation: contribution source power - IWG Yongtenai - At present, the pace of urban life is accelerating, and the demand for one-stop purchasing among home users is also becoming increasingly strong. "Looking at door and wall cabinet brands from the C side is actually the same as looking at supply chain manufacturers from the B side," Cheng Hanwen said by analogy. He said that consumers have the same expectations for integrated home products and services. As a demand side, door and wall cabinet brands also need supply chain companies to have one-stop problem-solving capabilities. Specific to the use of glue, the market requires suppliers not only to provide adhesive products, but also to build systematic glue supply management solutions for brand owners. This is why Yongtenai has been committed to promoting and striving to achieve smart collaboration. With the introduction and gradual popularization of Industry 4.0, especially the increasing pressure of "labor shortage" on enterprises, manufacturing enterprises are increasingly eager to get rid of their dependence on manual operations as soon as possible and instead rely on intelligent production lines with continuously improving functions. . But the real contradiction is that the overall domestic supply chain has been in a low-level development state for a long time. The supply chain service capabilities are lagging behind, there is a lack of R&D awareness, product R&D is seriously lagging behind, the timeliness, safety and stability of the supply chain cannot be guaranteed, and the overall informatization of supply chain enterprises is insufficient, which is far from the expectations of brand owners for the supply chain. To this end, Yongtenai has chosen to invest a huge amount of time and energy, investing manpower, material and financial resources, focusing on building a smart collaborative factory, and connecting brand partners with a smart collaborative system. Cheng Hanwen regards it as "source power research and development". Specifically, the field of home furnishing manufacturing has its own common problems. Once Yongtenai meets the urgent demands of one of its customers through intelligent means, other customers in the same industry can also follow the rules and solve the same problem. There are actually very few supply chain companies that have this kind of R&D capability. Therefore, Yongtenai resolutely chose to do something [difficult but valuable". When smart collaboration is realized, brand owners will have a rich product system, and supply chain companies will also have rich service application scenarios. Only in this way can they complement each other and achieve higher expectations of users on the consumer side. In the interview, Cheng Hanwen talked about a type of respected companies around the world. They started from the chemical business. As the companies continue to grow, they no longer produce daily chemical products, but "climb up" and gradually Stay away from specific industrial applications and instead focus on basic chemical materials that can change people's daily lives, becoming a more valuable chemical company. He did not mention specific company names, but the ones that reminded me were BASF, DuPont, Dow, 3M, Honeywell... all of them have a history of a hundred years of development, and all of them can be called scientific companies. From this, the author thought of a higher level of "source innovation": to be a chemical company and build the "foundation" that can benefit all mankind.

From December 9th to 12th, IWG Yongtenai will jointly participate in the exhibition with equipment manufacturers, and will finally bring the epoch-making new generation PUR wooden door rapid composite solution to the Lunjiao Exhibition Hall of Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong, and present it at In front of industry customers, we will make new contributions to the comprehensive popularization and application of PUR products. It is understood that Yongtenai's pioneering solution is based on the PUR coating process and introduces a laser ranging sensor to complete the scanning and measurement of the width of the door panels to implement precise coating actions. After spray coating, it is directly connected to the lamination equipment to complete the rapid lamination of wooden doors. Cheng Hanwen, general manager of IWG Yongtenai Product Technology Center, said that the company has reorganized the past process in detail, and after careful research and judgment, it is concluded that when traditional equipment manufacturers provide system solutions, they always tend to adopt the roller coating process. . The disadvantages of this method are that it has high power and high energy consumption, it is not easy to meet environmental emission standards, and it has high personnel safety risks when cleaning up. Therefore, it is difficult to meet the current industry needs, especially for larger head customizations. High-end needs of home furnishing customers. He explained in detail that the interior door orders received by customer manufacturers always come in different sizes, width and width. Through the application of automated systems, door panels must be automatically scanned and sensed when passing through the front-end spray coating equipment before being transported to the laminator. Glue lines formed by shower coating A reporter from Soumen.com saw at the exhibition site that strips of "coating tape" were formed on the panels after shower coating. Not only does each glue line appear to be a straight line, but its spacing is indeed uniform and fixed. They are like a neatly arranged array, with a unique sense of orderly beauty. For customized home furnishing companies, this solution not only saves glue costs and looks more beautiful, but more importantly, it also embodies the intensive spirit of pursuing ultimate optimization in lean production. In addition, it can connect the subsequent lamination process without any obstacles, such as covering the door core with multi-layer boards and decorative panels. In the past, AB glue could only be used to composite wooden panels. Now it can handle metal materials, plastic surface materials, inorganic substrates, PET decorative panels, etc., and its application scope has been greatly expanded. "Born for smart collaboration" So, can IWG, which regards smart collaboration as the main advancement direction of the enterprise, introduce this solution into the existing smart collaboration system? The answer is yes. Cheng Hanwen pointed out with joy that as long as the customer has the intention, the system can now be "online" directly. According to him, at the beginning of the design of this system, there were enough internal reserved interfaces to fully meet the needs of fully automatic and intelligent control and monitoring. HMI human machine interface Including production flow control, glue dosage control, etc., all can be displayed online. Specifically, how much glue is used per minute, the number of threads run per minute, and the number of workpieces processed can be automatically counted. It can be said that this system is tailor-made for the intelligent collaboration system. By accessing the industrial Internet, the real-time status of production can be connected to the Yongtenai smart collaborative factory, or to the brand owner's own smart control platform for intelligent monitoring and control on the manufacturing side. Massive amounts of data can exert huge intangible value. Woodworking manufacturing companies can use real-time data to create reports for analysis by production managers. For example: The amount of glue used increased yesterday. Is it because the production capacity has increased? The amount of glue used decreased today. Is it due to insufficient production capacity or any problems with the equipment? Is there anything unreasonable in the process flow settings? Through smart collaboration, both brands and supply chain partners can monitor the consumption of auxiliary materials online in real time, providing data support for cost optimization. When doing equipment system maintenance in the future, brand companies can also export all data within the cycle on a monthly or annual basis, conduct statistical analysis of the data, and provide subsequent product upgrades for woodworking companies, as well as Yongtenai PUR glue. provide a strong basis for the upgrade. Therefore, it seems that it is a very important component of smart collaboration. Cheng Hanwen pointed out that glue has a very special status. Compared with the cost and scale of the base material, although it is quite inconspicuous, it is extremely important. First, it is a supply chain product that is used in all household products and plays the role of "bones and bones" and "blood". Secondly, whether its quality is stable is related to the quality stability of the final home product and determines the "lining" of the product. If the "lining" is not done well, the product will have problems over time, and the brand's "face" will be lost. "The more detailed the manufacturer knows about the dosage of adhesive and the basic conditions of on-site use, the more stable its products will be." Is Yongtenai "offside"? Regarding this question, Cheng Hanwen smiled and said yes, but felt that Yong Tenai "had to do it." He said that as an adhesive company, its understanding of equipment is definitely not as good as that of professional equipment manufacturers. The reason why so much manpower and material resources have to be invested in this solution is because the application of adhesive cannot bypass the cooperation of equipment. "The research and development of adhesives will be earlier than the research and development of equipment. As Yongtenai and its downstream customers, we are already used to this situation," Cheng Hanwen said with emotion. If a new type of glue has come out, but there is no corresponding equipment for application, the "charm" of the new product will not be shown, and it will be difficult to promote this product in the market. Therefore, Yongtenai had to go "offside" frequently. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is a huge leap from AB glue products to PUR products. The market is familiar with water-based products, but many companies are actually unfamiliar with bulk hot-melt products. At this time, companies need to be very courageous if they want to switch adhesive products. As for the application of the current shower coating system, it is even more necessary for the leading companies in the market to dare to try new things. In order to quickly promote new products and new solutions in the market, Yongtenai can only choose to continuously invest manpower and material resources in research and development of glue coating equipment and control systems. Although he was "taking over his duties", he was still willing to go. To this end, Yongtenai has set up corresponding departments and arranged corresponding technical personnel to specialize in this work. "This is a fine tradition or corporate characteristic that Yongte Nai has formed over a long period of time." In Cheng Hanwen's view, it is unrealistic to rely solely on customization companies to carry out transformation and implementation on their own. First, they don`t have the energy for this. Second, they often do not have such technical capabilities. Therefore, the preliminary work must be completed by Yongtenai. Yongtenai brings new system solutions to customers time and time again, and then they can be rolled out in the market based on the application in actual scenarios. From the customer's perspective, they save a lot of preliminary preparation and R&D investment when applying. Who wouldn`t appreciate such a supply chain company if you apply it to others? For Yongtenai, if a new product can open up a new market, why not? Moreover, in the end, the economic returns it brings to itself are also very considerable. This is an investment related to technological progress. In essence, it is an investment in R&D expenses. Although the final masterpiece is simply a set of equipment, it is actually a necessary way and carrier tool to push adhesive products forward. [In addition, when it comes to building smart collaborative factories, we must be one step ahead," Cheng Hanwen concluded. [We need to collect actual application data from the market in order to develop better products and provide better processes to customers. . Allowing customers to continuously reduce costs, continuously improve efficiency, and achieve better environmental protection, so as to match the conceptual pursuits of large-scale customization customers."
