Scientific And Technological Achievements Help Pform The Production Mode Of Shoe Enterprises

Walk into the shoe making workshop of Sanwei shoe industry Co., Ltd. in Putian, Fujian Province, and the women workers on the 3 sides of the pipeline are busily brushed on the upper.

China is a big shoemaking country, with more than 30 thousand footwear manufacturers and about 4000000 direct employees.

95% of our traditional shoe making enterprises use chloroprene adhesive solvent based glue, which contains three benzene which is harmful to the body.

In 2008, the team led by Hong Maochun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Fujian Institute of material structure, Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully developed a non benzene type "FJ218 water-soluble polyurethane (WPU)".

With the help of the China Straits project outcome Fair held in that year, the scientific research achievement was spent in Zhongke Hua Yu (Fujian) Technology Development Co., Ltd.

Lin Jinxiang, chairman of the board, told reporters that with the annual production of more than 2 billion pairs of shoes in Fujian Province, if the water based polyurethane shoe sole adhesive is used, it can reduce 20 thousand tons of harmful solvents to the atmosphere every year, so that nearly one million shoemakers can be protected from toxic gases.

The annual China Fujian Straits project outcome Fair has become an important carrier of science and technology innovation and project generation in Fujian and even China. It has become an important link between cross-strait cooperation and international exchanges, and has become an important platform for scientific development and leaping development of the province.

Since the 8 session of the trade fair, Fujian has accumulated more than 16000 kinds of science and technology projects, leading to an investment of about 400000000000 yuan.

This year, more than 50 academicians and 2000 overseas experts and scholars, as well as entrepreneurs and investors, participated in the docking of more than 3200 high quality project achievements.

A large number of advanced R & D achievements such as grass technology, photovoltaic power generation, coal ash paper making technology, low temperature production of foam ceramics and so on have been pformed into real productive forces in Fujian, which is the economy of Fujian province.
