NANNING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 January 2024 – With the barrier gate for customs release lifted, 6 tonnes of blended yarn was imported tariff-free to China through Dongxing, a border city in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

The yarn was produced in a Vietnamese production line of the cotton yarn production giant Texhong International Group Limited and will be further processed to produce fabrics in China.

Chen Yingjian, a business manager of the company in charge of cargo imports in Dongxing, said the company has benefited from the preferential tariff policies under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) implemented in 2010, while the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has further lowered their duty costs.

 
 
 



 

 

 

Among all the goods for which the company declared duty with Dongxing Customs, the value of those that were granted tax breaks amounted to 2.5 million U.S. dollars in the first eight months this year, according to Chen.

Connected by both land and sea, China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have enjoyed ever-growing trade ties over the years, with the CAFTA and the RCEP helping cut trade costs and boost supply chain construction between China and ASEAN.

The RCEP is comprised of 15 members – the 10 ASEAN member states, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. The RCEP was signed in November 2020 and went into effect on Jan. 1, 2022, with the aim of gradually eliminating tariffs on over 90 percent of goods traded among its members.

Official data shows that the bilateral trade volume between China and ASEAN had increased from about 100 billion U.S. dollars in 2004 to 975.34 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. China has been ASEAN’s largest trading partner for 14 consecutive years, while ASEAN has been China’s largest trading partner for three consecutive years.

As of July, two-way investments topped 380 billion U.S. dollars, while more than 6,500 enterprises with direct investment from China had been established in ASEAN.

The China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO), a key platform to promote and facilitate the flow of goods between China and ASEAN, has witnessed Vietnamese durian, Thai mangosteen and Indonesian coffee becoming sought-after items among Chinese consumers over the past 20 years.

Benjamas Tanvetyanont, Thai consul-general in Guangxi’s regional capital of Nanning, said the CAEXPO serves as a huge boost for the building of CAFTA and the implementation of RCEP, broadening the space for regional economic cooperation and injecting great impetus into regional prosperity and stability.

“As the dividends from the RCEP continue to emerge, the construction of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area is forging ahead, which will cement the roles of China and ASEAN as each other’s largest trading partner,” said China’s Vice Minister of Commerce Li Fei.

A Helping Hand to Make Children’s Dreams Come True

With giving back to the community always at heart, DSI’s Fun Souls recently initiated the first step of its “Sihina Piyaman” CSR project, which was launched on Children’s Day, in hopes of bringing a smile on the faces of all children in the Island Nation.

Representatives from Fun Souls brand team and DSI banded together to donate wheelchairs to selected differently-abled children as a means of extending support for them to face challenges and realise their dreams, and some of the wheelchairs were ceremoniously donated during the event.

 

 




 

 

Fun Souls believes that providing wheelchairs to children living with disabilities will drastically improve their overall health and mobility. As a result, not only does this bring them the happiness and satisfaction of growing up as independent children, but also has a direct impact on lives of the parents and caretakers of these children.

Going beyond this simple thought of generosity, through this project, Fun Souls aims to inculcate values such as generosity and empathy towards one another in children from a tender age itself. It is also a stepping stone to encourage parents and adults to allow their children to connect with each other in a much deeper sense.

Fun Souls is DSI’s footwear and accessories brand dedicated to fashionable youngsters. With each pair of Fun Souls sold, a contribution will be allocated to provide wheelchairs to children who are most in need.

The donation ceremony took place in the presence of D. Samson and Sons (Pvt) Ltd Managing Director Thusitha Rajapaksa, Director Asanka Rajapaksa, General Manager Pradeep Samarathunga, Head of Marketing Kumerini Candappa, senior managers  children and their families, staff and well-wishers.

Sharing his thoughts on the project, D. Samson and Sons (Pvt) Ltd General Manager Pradeep Samarathunga noted: “Giving back to the community has always been a matter of the heart to us at DSI, and the more we stay true to this belief, the more it helps us navigate our way through to the hearts of our loyal customers as well as all people in this country. We are determined to continue this endeavour and more through our Sihina Piyaman project.”

Hotmelt adhesives have become increasingly popular in various industries due to their ease of use, versatility, and cost-effectiveness.

However, like any adhesive solution, hot melt adhesives come with their own set of challenges. One of the main challenges in using hot melt adhesives is achieving optimal adhesion with different types of materials.

This challenge can be addressed by considering factors such as surface tension, bonding temperature, spreading, and the visco-elastic loss tangent of the adhesive. Understanding the influence of these factors on hot melt adhesive performance can help in selecting the appropriate adhesive for different materials and ensuring a strong bond(Schaible et al., 2016). Another challenge in using hotmelt adhesives is the limited open time during which the adhesive remains in a liquid state for bonding. To overcome this challenge, it is important to optimize production processes to ensure efficient application of the adhesive within the available open time.

Additionally, ensuring proper equipment maintenance and temperature control can help maximize the open time and prevent premature solidification of the adhesive. Furthermore, another challenge in using hot melt adhesives is the potential for health issues due to their high operating temperatures.

 

 



 

 

 

Health and Safety Considerations in Using Hotmelt Adhesives

When working with hot melt adhesives, it is essential to prioritize health and safety considerations. This includes taking precautions to prevent burns or injuries from contact with heated adhesive, as well as ensuring proper ventilation in the workspace to minimize exposure to fumes that may be emitted during the melting and application process. To address these challenges and ensure the safe use of hot melt adhesives, Tec Bond offers a range of high-quality hot melt adhesive solutions that are designed with a focus on safety and performance. Their hotmelt adhesives are formulated to have a low health risk and emit minimal fumes during application, making them suitable for use in various industries and applications where worker safety is a priority. Additionally, Tec Bond hot melt adhesives provide several advantages that make them a preferred choice in various industries.

One advantage of Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives is their ease of processing. These adhesives are designed to melt quickly and evenly, allowing for easy application and efficient bonding. Another advantage is their good chemical resistance. Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives are formulated to withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for use in industries such as packaging and electronics where contact with potentially corrosive substances is common. In the packaging industry, Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives are widely used for sealing boxes, cartons, and other packaging materials. Their excellent bonding strength and resistance to chemicals ensure secure and durable seals, providing reliability in transportation and storage. Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives also find applications in the textile industry. They are used for bonding fabrics, trimmings, and other textile components. Their ability to bond various textile materials with ease and provide strong, long-lasting bonds makes them a preferred choice in the industry.

Moreover, Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives are also widely utilized in the building and construction industry. They are used for a variety of applications, such as bonding insulation materials, installing flooring and tiles, and assembly of building components. The ease of processing and quick bonding provided by Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives make them a convenient and efficient choice for the fast-paced manufacturing processes in the construction industry.

Furthermore, Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives are also commonly used in the electronic industry. They are applied in electronic device assembly, circuit board bonding, and component encapsulation. The ability of Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives to provide quick-drying and optimal adhesion allows for efficient manufacturing processes and reliable electrical connections. In addition to their ease of processing and wide range of applications, Tec Bond hotmelt adhesives offer low health issues and are typically available at a competitive price point. Therefore, they are a cost-effective solution for industrial applications.
