DMF Solutions in Furniture

Recently, the European Union members passed the draft resolution on “the guarantee of consumables containing DMF won’t be put into European market". This resolution, which is now in the review stage by European parliament, is expected to come into effect before 1st, May.

    By then, our domestic traditional advantages of export products such as leather shoes, leathers etc, will suffer a relative huge impact. Dimethyl fumarate (abbreviated as DMF) is often used as antiseptic fungicide in the production, storage and transportation of leather, footwear, textile products.

    According to the EU draft resolution, if the DMF in consumables or their components exceeds 0.1 mg/kg, or the consumables themselves have been marked with the content of DMF, these consumables will be identified as containing DMF and prohibited from entering EU market.
