According to this calculation, the domestic market share of Wanlang magnetic plastic refrigerator door seals is as high as 33%.
Continue to strengthen R&D investment, TPE environmental protection materials lead the development of the industry
The continuous rise of Wanlang Magnetic Plastic’s performance is also related to its continuous strengthening of R&D investment. Taking research and development expenses as an example, in 2020, the company’s research and development expenses will be 46.7711 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.26%. In fact, in the past four years (from 2018 to the end of September 2021), the total R&D expenses of Wanlang Magnetic Plastics reached 152 million yuan.
Continuing to strengthen R&D investment, the company has achieved a number of technological achievements. Up to now, the company has mastered the core technology related to door sealing and obtained more than 200 patents, including 36 invention patents. Take the company’s “Research and Development of TPE Refrigerator Door Sealing Strip” project as an example, this project has passed the scientific and technological achievement appraisal of China National Light Industry Federation. Reducing the life cycle energy consumption of refrigerators has a significant effect. At present, TPE environmental protection materials developed by the company have been used in refrigerator door seals on a large scale. New environmental protection materials such as TPU and silica gel are gradually being promoted, leading the future development trend of the industry.
In addition, Wanlang Magnetic Plastic realizes the automatic control of gas flow through the improvement of the rubber sleeve setting process, which improves the consistency of the rubber sleeve shape. The company also independently developed automated equipment for drilling, cutting, welding and other processes to control the cutting accuracy of rubber sleeves and magnetic strips within ±1mm, which improved the efficiency of the welding process and reduced production costs.
In this context, many series of products such as door seal sleeves, HIPS plastic parts, ABS plastic parts, plastic cover plates, door cover components, etc. produced by the company have been tested by authoritative professional testing institutions, and have passed the EU RoHS and REACH certification. The products meet the requirements of green environmental protection and safety, and have obtained a pass to enter the international market. The “TPE refrigerator door seal”, “thin-wall refrigerator door seal” and “composite co-extruded refrigerator door seal” independently developed by the company won the “Aipland Core Award” at the China Home Appliances Expo in 2018, 2019 and 2021, respectively. The only company in the field of door seals to receive this honor. In March 2021, the company’s “Multiple Composite Refrigerator Door Seal (Type 506)” product was awarded the Golden Nail Award for China’s Home Appliance Industry Chain.
What is more noteworthy is that the company has participated in the compilation and revision of the “Technical Roadmap for China’s Refrigerator Industry” for many times, and actively promoted the establishment of relevant industry standards for refrigerator door seals. (QB/T1294-2013)”, “Magnetic Door Sealing Strips for Household and Similar Refrigeration Appliances (QB/T1295-2013)” and “Thermoplastic Elastomer Door Sealing Strips for Household and Similar Refrigeration Appliances (QB/T5370-2019)” )” and other three industry standards have been promulgated and implemented.
At present, Wanlang Magnetic Plastic has become a national high-tech enterprise, with “provincially recognized enterprise technology center”, “Hefei Engineering Technology Research Center”, “post-doctoral scientific research station”, and is the vice-chairman unit of Anhui Information Household Appliances Association. The center has passed the assessment of China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) and obtained the laboratory accreditation certificate.
Consumption and structural upgrading drive industry development: Wanlang’s advantages of magneto-plastic are increasingly prominent
In recent years, the global refrigerator industry as a whole has shown a steady upward trend. In 2019, the global output of refrigerators and freezers was 190 million units, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%, and the sales volume was 180 million units. China is the world’s largest supplier of refrigerators and has exported to more than 220 countries and regions, accounting for nearly one-third of the world’s refrigerator sales (excluding China).
In addition to the increase in production and sales, consumption and structural upgrades have become important driving forces for the development of the refrigerator industry. Taking the Chinese refrigerator market as an example, according to the statistics of Aowei Cloud, the average online sales volume of refrigerators has increased from 220L in 2015 to 290L in 2020, and the average offline sales volume has increased from 294L in 2015 to 2020L. 387L. In addition to large capacity, the demand for mid-to-high-end refrigerators such as air-cooled, multi-door and multi-temperature zones, frequency conversion, and smart refrigerators continues to grow.
As a key component that affects the performance of the refrigerator, the refrigerator door seal must not only master the key core technologies of new material modification, technology and equipment, door seal design, mold design and processing, etc., but also have rich industry experience and Creativity.
In fact, with the tightening of national energy conservation and environmental protection policies and the transformation of residents’ consumption patterns, refrigerator OEMs have put forward higher requirements for upstream supporting enterprises, not only requiring supporting enterprises to provide energy-saving and environmentally friendly high-performance door seal products, but also requiring Provide refrigerator energy saving solutions.
The refrigerator door seal head manufacturer represented by Wanlang Magnetic Plastic has accumulated rich technology and experience in material modification, process improvement, product low-temperature sealing, anti-aging and deformation, antibacterial and anti-mildew, etc. Breakthroughs have also been made in the extrusion process. The performance of refrigerator door seal products of such enterprises has been continuously improved, the production process has been continuously optimized, the production cost has been continuously reduced, and the energy-saving effect has been continuously enhanced, and their leading advantages in the industry have become increasingly prominent.
At present, the domestic circulation strategy and overall consumption upgrade are still deepening. Among them,Appliance industryThe trend of consumption upgrading is particularly obvious. In this context, Wanlang Magnetic Plastic, which continues to strengthen its independent research and development capabilities, increase its industrial chain advantages, and enhance its brand influence, will surely accelerate its growth; and in the process of its growth, it will also bring rich returns to investors!
