Social Responsibility

Starting from June 6, 2026, the new REACH Annex XVII restriction (EU Regulation 2024/1328) officially takes effect, imposing limits on three cyclic siloxanes D4, D5 and D6. For industrial and consumer silicone products exported to Europe, the residual content of D4, D5 and D6 must be controlled below 0.1% (1000 ppm) individually before entering the EU market. As a professional manufacturer of silicone rubber parts and membrane switch HMI assemblies, Suzhou Menhow has long prioritized eco-friendly manufacturing and EU regulatory compliance to supply qualified components for global OEM customers.

Recently, Suzhou Menhow has successfully completed the IECQ QC080000 Hazardous Substance Process Management System annual surveillance audit conducted by National Quality Assurance (NQA). The successful audit fully verifies that the company maintains compliance with authoritative international standards in core areas including hazardous substance control, green production operation and compliant quality management for its core products: membrane switches and silicone rubber products.

Deburring is a critical procedure that determines the dimensional accuracy and sealing performance of silicone rubber products. Traditional flash removal methods include manual trimming, nitrogen based treatment and cryogenic blasting. Manual trimming suffers from low efficiency, while nitrogen blasting consumes large quantities of media, resulting in higher material costs and carbon emissions. Balancing processing quality, production cost and green manufacturing has become an urgent challenge for silicone rubber component manufacturers.
