    In the early days of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the demand for masks soared, and the polypropylene meltblown special material (referred to as "meltblown material"), the core raw material of masks, was also in short supply, and the price soared


    .


    A few days ago, Zhejiang Zhonggu Plastic Industry Co.
    , Ltd.
    (referred to as "Zhonggu Plastic Industry") reported to a reporter from China Securities Journal that the company purchased 600 tons of Dawn's meltblown material for the production of meltblown cloth for masks, five times since July.
    Different batches of samples of meltblown materials produced by Dawn were extracted and sent to professional testing institutions for inspection.
    The "di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP)" in the samples exceeded the upper limit of the national standard (GB/T 30923-2014) by more than 100 times.


    .


    DTBP, which is accused of significantly exceeding the limit, is a "dangerous" chemical and is suspected of causing genetic defects


    .


    On the night of the China Securities Journal's report that "Melt-blown materials for masks are accused of more than 100 times the national standard for residues of a dangerous chemical, Dawn is sued by downstream customers", Dawn quickly responded to the report


    .


    Dawn Co.
    , Ltd.
    said that the real reason why Zhonggu Plastics asked for a return for a refund is not the quality of Dawn's raw materials, but the fact that the meltblown cloth market tends to be saturated and oversupply


    .


    Dawn also stated that there are no national laws and regulations prohibiting the use of DTBP, and there is currently no scientific basis for harming human health


    .


    Tianyancha shows that under the announcement of the opening of Zhonggu Plastic Industry, there is a contract dispute case between it and Dawn, and the opening date is November 2


    .


    Dawn Co.
    , Ltd.
    also pointed out in the announcement that when Zhonggu Plastics raised a quality objection to the company, it had exceeded the time limit stipulated in the contract.
    The company and Zhonggu Plastics were in a commercial dispute, and it was unfair for the media to report unilaterally during the lawsuit


    .
