What reports are required for a qualified glue?

In the manufacturing process, glue may seem like a minor component, but it's crucial to the overall product's safety, performance, and market access. A truly "qualified" glue goes beyond simply ensuring a secure bond; it relies on a comprehensive set of authoritative technical and certification reports. These documents are key to demonstrating its safety, compliance, and reliability.

For manufacturers, how can you determine if the glue you're using is "fully qualified"? This article uses Kangliban's certification system as an example to outline several key reports necessary for a qualified glue.

01 Essential Basics

Technical Documentation: Clear Guidelines for Efficient Application

Qualified adhesives must be accompanied by essential documentation. Kanglibang provides a complete MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and TDS (Technical Data Sheet) for all products to ensure safe and efficient use.

• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): This serves as the product's "safety passport," detailing ingredient information, hazard identification, protective measures, and emergency response procedures. It is fundamental to ensuring safe production, storage, and transportation.

• TDS (Technical Data Sheet): This serves as the product's "performance profile," objectively presenting key parameters such as viscosity, curing conditions, temperature resistance, shear strength, and operating procedures, providing a core basis for customer selection and application.

02 Specific Applications

Authoritative Certification: Precisely Assured for Specific Applications

When adhesives are used in demanding applications such as medical and food contact applications, specific certification reports are essential. Kanglibang has established a targeted certification system to meet the diverse safety challenges posed by these demanding requirements in various industries.

• Medical Applications: Kanglibang's medical silicone gel and other products are certified to the ISO 13485 medical device quality management standard and have an ISO 10993 biocompatibility report. They are suitable for direct contact with human tissue and are non-sensitizing and non-cytotoxic, providing peace of mind for customers using them in applications such as medical catheters and medical dressings.

• Environmental Protection and Process Control: Kanglibang holds the IECQ QC080000 Hazardous Substances Process Management System certificate. From raw material intake to finished product delivery, the control of hazardous elements such as lead and mercury is implemented throughout the entire process to eliminate potential pollution risks.

03 Market Access

Global Compliance Clears the Way for Overseas Product Export

If your product's target market is overseas, your glue must pass all required tests in the destination country's regulations. Kanglibang proactively adheres to the highest international standards, using multiple test reports from authoritative organizations like SGS to enhance global competitiveness.

• Environmental Compliance Reports: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration of Chemicals) test reports are essential entry requirements for the EU, North America, and other major international markets.

• Health and Safety Certifications: FDA (Food Contact Grade), California Proposition 65 (Chemical Alert), Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), and POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) certifications and test reports ensure product safety in applications involving close human contact, such as food packaging, maternity and infant products, home interiors, and automotive cabins.

• Material Composition Restrictions: Covers control requirements for specific hazardous substances, including halogen-free (restrictions on chlorine, bromine, etc.) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) test reports, ensuring compliance with strict material composition restrictions in electronics, consumer products, and environmental regulations.

• Performance Verification Reports: Includes extreme environment test reports such as aging resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and humidity and heat resistance, verifying the long-term stability of the adhesive under various harsh operating conditions.
