Why do adulteration continue?

Why is Adulteration Continued?

It should be said that in recent years, the formulation and improvement of relevant national standards, the supervision and boycott of industry associations, and the promotion and guidance of the media have played a role in restricting and regulating the adulteration of enterprises to a certain extent. However, the "adulteration" phenomenon has continued for many times and has certain inevitability.

The first is the excess capacity in the industry, and the vicious competition among enterprises is serious. The common problem in China's economy is excess capacity, and the plastics pipeline industry has not been spared. According to data released by the China Plastics Processing Industry Association Plastic Pipes Professional Committee, the actual capacity of plastic pipe companies is about 50% more than the actual demand. Because of optimistic about the market prospect of plastic pipes, many companies blindly expand production, making the market supply growth is much higher than the actual demand growth. This phenomenon is also common in the production of floor heating pipes. From last year, the operating rate of many floor heating pipe production companies can be known. The intensified competition in the floor heating pipe market has caused many floor heating companies to fight a price war and even lead to vicious competition. In order to reduce production costs, some companies in the raw material adulteration will become "the only law."

Second, end-user options are limited, and the industry’s unspoken rules are difficult to remove. Since PE-Xa pipes and PE-RT pipes do not enter the consumer's home through building materials supermarkets as end-consumer products such as PP-R pipes and PVC pipes, they enter the construction site mainly through warehouses of construction companies, and are therefore able to escape construction materials. Detecting expert's "eye-catching eyes" and inspections of industrial and commercial administrative agencies. Coupled with the fact that pipe buyers are not the end users of floor heating products, pipe prices have become an important factor in their choice of floor heating brands. As long as the floor heating pipes they purchase do not suffer quality accidents in a short time, they would rather close their eyes with one eye. Because they are very clear: it is the floor heating pipes with congenital "disease" that make them likely to get a lot of gray income, why bother to smash the layer of window paper, and should have to shoulder the regulatory responsibility? The developers, constructors, and supervision companies, many of whom are either left alone because they really do not know how to identify the warm pipes, or deliberately condone such products into the site, just like those who are clearly confused.

Finally, the recognition of warm pipes is not high. The purchaser of ordinary PE-RT pipe cannot intuitively determine which PE-RT pipes are qualified products processed from special materials, and which PE-RT pipes are inferior products processed from non-special materials. What makes people even more frustrating is that if PE-RT pipes are tested according to the current PE-RT product standards, it will be difficult to detect whether PE-RT pipes are used unless professional testing is performed for 3,650 hours (about 1 year). Special material. In fact, this low degree of identification provides great convenience for the adulteration of floor heating tubes.

"Bad Money Drives Out Good Money" Injuries the Industry

Just as a butterfly in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon River in South America occasionally flaps a few wings and can cause a tornado in Texas in the United States two weeks later, the influence of “incorporated” floor heating pipes on the entire floor heating industry is also affected. Can not be underestimated. In the eyes of experts from the National Building Materials Testing Center, plastic pipe has always been the “hardest-hit area for home improvement building materials”, and floor heating pipes are no exception. These adulterated floor-heating pipes are born from the "wife's womb" and may be safe in a short time, but sooner or later there will be problems that will hurt the industry's overall reputation.

First of all, a large number of "adulterated" pipes enter the construction site, which poses great hidden dangers to the ground heating project. “To a certain extent, the quality of the floor heating pipe determines the quality of the floor heating project, and the selection of a good floor heating pipe will complete the floor heating project by half.” A floor heating construction company so analyzed. The person also warned: "In the event of a water leakage accident, construction companies will bear the brunt of the heat, and they will even lose everything. The disputes with the pipe manufacturers will also cause construction companies to be exhausted.

Secondly, frequent leaks in the floor heating project will inevitably cause developers and individual users to feel mistrust of the floor heating. In the long run, the development of the entire industry will be tantamount to "prosperity and fishing." In recent years, the frequent occurrence of floor heating accidents has caused concern among industry professionals. For example, in a heating project with a construction area of ​​about 10,000 square meters in 2007, the floor heating system used a PE-Xa floor heating pipe produced by a certain manufacturer. After several heating seasons, the floor heating pipe of the building leaked in 2011. . The accident investigation found that the problematic pipe had already undergone strong oxidative degradation during the production process. At the same time, due to the absence of antioxidants in the pipe material of this section, the hydroperoxide and peroxide radicals remaining in the pipe during the use process have a strong oxidation effect on PE-Xa, making it premature Oxidative degradation occurred in the ground, which ultimately led to the occurrence of this accident.

What is even more worrying is that PE-RT pipes have caused far more accidents due to the adulteration of raw materials in the large area of ​​the floor heating pipes than in the PE-Xa pipes. As a result, many PE-RT floor heating pipe operators have to admit PE- The RT tube "has a lot of problems and it is a headache." According to industry sources, similar to the above-mentioned PE-RT pipe leakage caused by adulteration of raw materials in the floor heating industry is not a minority, the impact of the entire floor heating industry is very great.

Finally, the “adulterated” floor heating tube flooded the market, depressed the market price, disrupted the market order, severely impacted the products of the brand enterprises, and then formed a situation of “bad money drives out good money”, and the entire market would lack creativity. On the one hand, it may lead to the obstruction of sales of high-quality enterprises, affecting the performance of enterprises; on the other hand, it may force high-quality enterprises to be forced to participate in “adulteration” and “counterfeiting”, leading to the proliferation of adulteration in the entire floor heating market, and then affecting the benign nature of the entire heating industry. development of.
