Recently, the incident of "heavy metal antimony detected in baby hand and mouth wipes" has drawn public attention. Regarding the source of antimony, the China Industrial Textile Association and the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association jointly issued the following statement:
1. A small amount of antimony was detected in some wipes. Its source mainly comes from the trace residues of antimony-containing catalytic processes during the polyester synthesis process. Other catalytic processes do not produce it. The spinning process of polyester fibers (polyester) is a physical change and will not introduce antimony.
2. Currently, the highest detected amount of antimony in the tested samples is 450.45 μg/L, which is lower than the limit values for trace elements of antimony in national and foreign relevant standards for infant paper products, children's toys, and infant pacifiers. For example, in the relevant standards of the European Union, the safety requirement for infant pacifiers is that trace elements of antimony should be ≤ 60 mg/kg (60,000 μg/kg).
3. During the production and processing of cotton fibers, viscose fibers, and lyocell fibers, antimony-containing catalysts are not used. The association has always adhered to the development concept of people-oriented, based on the new positioning of the health industry, jointly with industry enterprises, strictly controlling production and quality, promoting technological progress, guarding the bottom line of consumption safety, and maintaining a standardized and orderly market environment.
