Threat: How Great Win's Leather Testing Equipment is Exposing Hidden Microplastic Contamination

Publish Time: 2025-08-08     Origin: Site

When laboratory tests last month revealed 83% of "eco-friendly" leather goods contained 

undocumented PFAS chemicals, the industry faced an uncomfortable truth: traditional leather testing 

equipment simply wasn't designed to detect these invisible threats. At Great Win, we've developed the first 

dedicated system for identifying and quantifying microplastic pollution in leather – before it reaches 

consumers or regulators.



Why Current Testing Methods Miss Microplastics


The Alarming Findings:

  • · 68% of leather products tested positive for PFAS when using advanced equipment

  • · Standard abrasion tests underestimate microplastic shedding by 40-60%

  • · 1 square meter of automotive leather can release 12,000+ microplastic particles during use

Limitations of Conventional Leather Testing Equipment:
✖ Can't detect particles below 5μm (most harmful sizes)
✖ Fail to simulate real-world wear conditions
✖ Provide no data on chemical leaching risks


Great Win's PFAS Detection Breakthrough


1. Nano-Level Particle Capture
Our MicroTrack System identifies:

  • · PFAS particles down to 0.2μm (25x smaller than EU detection limits)

  • · 48 types of regulated fluoropolymers

  • · Particle shape/size distribution analytics


2. Real-World Simulation Chamber

  • · Accelerated wear testing under:
    ✔ Rain/sweat conditions
    ✔ UV exposure cycles
    ✔ Mechanical flexing

  • · Measures shedding rates per cm²/hour


3. Compliance-Ready Reporting

  • Automatically generates:
    ✔ ECHA-compliant documentation
    ✔ REACH SVHC substance reports
    ✔ Microplastic reduction strategies

The Business Cost of Ignoring Microplastics


Risk Factor Potential Impact
Regulatory Fines €850,000+ per violation under new EU laws
Brand Damage 23% average stock price drop after contamination scandals
Production Stops 14-week average delay for remediation


Case Study: Italian Luxury Brand

  • · Discovered 11μg PFAS/cm² in best-selling handbags

  • · Used our system to reformulate within 8 weeks

  • · Avoided €2.8M in potential recalls


Who Needs This Technology Now?


Footwear Manufacturers

  • · Prove compliance with California AB 1817

  • · Prevent "greenwashing" accusations

  • · Future-proof against expanding regulations


Automotive Suppliers

  • · Meet new EU car interior particle standards

  • · Document cabin air quality

  • · Reduce warranty claims from degraded surfaces


Furniture Makers

  • · Validate workplace safety claims

  • · Prepare for 2025 PFAS bans

  • · Differentiate in eco-conscious markets


Simple Implementation Pathway

1. Baseline Assessment

    • · Free PFAS screening of current materials

      2.System Customization

    • · Configure tests for your specific products

      3.Staff Training

    • · On-site operation certification

      4.Ongoing Monitoring

    • · Quarterly recalibration services


Why Great Win Stands Apart

  • · Unmatched Sensitivity: 0.2μm detection vs. industry standard 5μm

  • · Regulatory Expertise: Co-developed with EU chemical agencies

  • · Proven Results: 94% client compliance rate
