The fundamental difference between it and the dye is that the dye can be dissolved in the dyeing medium used, while the pigment neither fills the medium in which it is used nor the substrate to be colored. Excess pigments and dyes are chemically identical in structure, and can be converted into each other by different methods of use, so that certain vat dyes and sulfurized vat dyes can be used as fiber dyes if they are reduced to leuco. If it is not reduced, it can be used as a pigment as an advanced ink. Organic Pigments are widely used in inks, paints, coatings, synthetic fiber coloring, as well as fabric printing, plastics and rubber, leather coloring, etc., in which the ink is used in the largest amount. At present, the volume of organic pigments accounts for about a quarter of the total volume of the dye.

China's export of American furniture encounters high barrier timber source proof
"He (the United States) has already caught your neck." Yesterday, the head of Shanghai Weijia Furniture Co., Ltd., Pi Pengwu told CBN on the phone, "The anti-dumping tricks have been used, and now replaced by the Lacey Act." The establishment of such trade barriers has had a great impact on furniture export enterprises!" From April 1 next year, the application of the US Lacey Act (2008 Amendment) will extend to the furniture industry. “This means that no matter how many times you process, how thick and thin, fine or rough, how many raw materials are used in a piece of furniture, you need to provide proof of the legal source of wood for each part.†One familiar The industry insiders of the bill told CBN reporters. The United States is the largest country in China's furniture exports, accounting for 41% of China's total furniture exports. In 2008, China exported more than 20 billion US dollars worth of furniture to the United States, including about 7 billion US dollars of wooden furniture. Encountering “trade barriers†The Lacey Act requires that all timber products exported to the United States should provide a legal source of timber supply, including the Latin name of the plant species used, the country being harvested, the quantity and market size, and value. This bill, which was designed to ban illegal hunting for more than 100 years, has been extended to animal and plant and its products after years of revision. The implementation of the program has also gradually advanced from the initial logging to the rough processing of wood to the advanced processing of wood. Chinese companies and their related industry organizations have expressed their opinions. "The implementation of the Lacey Act in the United States, in addition to prohibiting illegal logging and processing, there is actually a tendency to trade protection." Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, clearly pointed out. "As long as someone reports, some people suspect that the United States has the power to investigate and even penalize the legality of all sources of wood products entering the United States." Zhu Changling is worried that the bill will be abused by some companies. In other industries, there have been many precedents for maliciously reporting a company to be subjected to lengthy investigations and eventually being dragged down. The applicable areas of the Lacey Act are gradually advancing. Previously, it was only in the field of timber trading; on October 1 this year, it has been extended to the industries of wood pulp, particleboard, fiberboard, etc.; in April next year, it will apply to the entire furniture industry. The Lacey Act emphasizes that it is a violation of this Act as long as it violates the laws on the protection of wildlife resources and their import and export in any country in the world. “But countries around the world have different regulations on the cultivation, cutting, transportation, processing and sales of wood, and some regulations are still changing. At the same time, there is a process in wood processing and production. For some trees that were harvested three or five years ago, Or after a number of turns of raw materials, it is difficult to re-find the legal proof of the year." Industry insiders familiar with the bill said. "For example, in the flooring industry, the United States began to refuse to recognize the legality of our logging certificates. Later, it was finally recognized under the negotiations of relevant organizations such as the Ministry of Commerce and industry associations." Pi Pengwu said, "We are worried that the furniture industry will have such a future. Problems, such as the import of timber from Myanmar, Myanmar has no approval for the cutting of the certificate, we get the approval of the felling and return to the country to manufacture furniture and then export to the United States, then the United States will still ask us to issue a felling certificate, otherwise it is considered illegal? "What is legal? What is illegal? It is legal in China, not legal in the United States, should we respect our laws and regulations?" said the head of international business of a well-known wood company. He also called the Lacey Act an "obvious trade barrier." The company did not pay enough attention to the International Symposium on Legal and Certified Forest Products in the Asia-Pacific Region held at the end of last month. The Lacey Act has issued the first ticket in China and a fine of US$40,000 for a Taiwan-funded enterprise in Shanghai. It is not the first time that Chinese furniture companies have encountered trade barriers. Around 2004, the United States launched an anti-dumping investigation against the wooden bedroom furniture exported by China. Since then, the United States has reviewed the annual review and basically increased import tariffs every year. As a result, China's wooden bedroom furniture enterprises have been greatly affected, and some production enterprises have moved to Vietnam. According to customs statistics, in recent years, China's furniture enterprises have developed rapidly. Apart from the impact of the financial crisis in the past year, the average increase in the import and export trade volume of furniture products in recent years is around 30%. China's furniture exports are also mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, Canada, the Netherlands, France, South Korea and so on. CBN reporters found in the interview that many small and medium-sized furniture companies still don't know the Lacey Act, let alone talk about the impact on the company's business. Even if I know it individually, I think that it is only necessary to fill in the information such as the place of origin, name, etc., and does not pay attention to it. "Because of this, the Lacey Act will be more widespread once it is promoted in China in the future." Wu Shengfu, general manager of Beijing Green Orno Building Board Consulting Center, said in an interview with CBN that he estimated at least 90% The furniture companies are still unaware of the bill. "The impact of a bill has a process. First, the government after the government, the Ministry of Commerce and the Forestry Bureau of China have attached great importance to it. They have already had many rounds of dialogue with the US." Zhu Changling said that the Chinese furniture industry should accelerate industrial restructuring and product structure. Adjustment. This includes cultivating and creating branded products with China's independent intellectual property rights, increasing the added value and quality of Chinese furniture products, realizing the internationalization of furniture standards and establishing an early warning mechanism for furniture export trade. Pi Pengwu thought more realistically: "We are now collecting harvesting certificates, transportation certificates, etc., from cutting, transportation to processing plates, to making furniture, and ensuring that every link on the chain has legal documents. Buckle up.†But at the same time, they also had to narrow the scope of the wood source and carefully avoid the risk. Related Related Laws (Lacey Act) is the first federal nature protection bill in the United States. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, for-profit illegal hunting in the United States, especially in the southwest, threatened many wild species in the United States. In the spring of 1900, Republican John Res. submitted a proposal for the Lacey Act to the US Congress. It is prohibited to transport illegal prey or protected animals between states as long as they violate the laws of the states. On May 25 of the same year, then US President William McKinley signed the plan. The Lacey Act has been revised over the past 100 years, and its content has evolved continuously. The applicable fields are increasingly widespread. Today, it has formed the basis of the US federal wildlife resources protection law enforcement system. In 2008, the new revision of the Lacey Act in accordance with the international forest products trade situation involved the core elements of the bill. First, the concept of “plants†was revised and the scope of application was expanded; the types of crimes involving plants were added; thirdly, the types of punishments were increased. The corresponding penalties are set for the types of crimes that are added. Articles 3 and 4 of the Lacey Act set up administrative and criminal penalties such as fines, confiscation and imprisonment for different types of crimes.
