For more comparative analysis of brands and models, please contact HiSiaddi customer service.
Buyer: FRANPACK SAS (France Franpack Packaging Co., Ltd.) Located in the food industrial park of Lyon, France, founded 37 years ago, it specializes in three high-end product lines: sealing gaskets for infant complementary food, normal-temperature jam high-temperature cooking packaging films, and refrigerated dairy sealing films for premium dairy products. Its products are supplied to local French supermarket chains and well-known EU infant brands, fully complying with EU Regulation 10/2011, LFGB, REACH and France DGCCRF food regulations with a full ban on phthalate plasticizers. It has long-term stable procurement of original food and medical-grade ESBO from Arkema France with an annual volume of 145 tons. Driven by surging prices of native European vegetable oils, delivery cycles of overseas major manufacturers extended to 115 days and rising annual import costs, the customer launched a localized substitution selection project for Chinese ESBO in 2025, planning to screen mid-to-high-end domestic grades to replace original imported raw materials from France Arkema. The customer independently contacted five leading domestic ESBO manufacturers including Jiaao Enpro, Xinjinlong, Honglida, Dongchen Chemical and Qilu Blue New Materials, requesting samples and product documents from each manufacturer.
Core Selection Challenges: Each manufacturer only promotes its own products, refrains from malicious slander of competitors but evades objective elaboration of peer product strengths, only highlighting self-owned grade compatibility and compliance advantages:
1. Jiaao Enpro prioritizes its food-grade ESBO without mentioning outstanding low-temperature adaptation performance of Xinjinlong’s low-temperature modified grades for cold-chain films;
2. Xinjinlong emphasizes self-developed rectification process advantages without disclosing superior low-odor medical models of Honglida for infant gaskets in actual testing;
3. Honglida, Dongchen Chemical and Qilu Blue New Materials similarly focus solely on strengths of their own product lines, selectively ignoring applicable scenarios and performance weaknesses of competitors.
The French procurement and R&D team lacks reserves of domestic ESBO industry information and cannot horizontally benchmark physical-chemical parameters, applicable scenarios and compliance supporting capacity of five brands. Seven models from five brands were sent for laboratory small trials showing differentiated performance: some samples suited high-temperature cooking, some low-temperature processes, some failed odor standards for infant raw materials. The customer could not lock in optimal procurement models, and blind mass procurement would easily trigger bloom, precipitation and unqualified finished products, resulting in stalled model selection progress. The customer entrusted its long-term cooperative foreign trade service provider HiSiaddi to conduct horizontal evaluation of five domestic top brands and their mainstream models from an objective third-party perspective, screening matching products aligned with working conditions of its three production lines.
HiSiaddi set up a special team of chemical raw material engineers and compliance officers to conduct on-site visits to production bases of five manufacturers, retrieve third-party SGS test reports and collect batch export end-use data for EU markets. Combined with working conditions of the customer’s three production lines (infant sealing gaskets, high-temperature cooking films, low-temperature cold storage films), it objectively analyzed core product characteristics of five brands including Jiaao Enpro, Xinjinlong Bio, Guangdong Honglida, Shandong Dongchen Chemical and Qilu Blue New Materials, fairly listing strengths and applicable weaknesses of each brand without bias toward any manufacturer:
Main Grades: JA-FOOD General Food-Grade ESBO, JA-MED Refined Medical-Grade ESBO ✅ Strengths: Raw materials adopt imported non-GMO soybean oil, fully enclosed continuous production lines. JA-MED delivers epoxy value 6.7%~6.9%, iodine value ≤1.8gI₂/100g with complete REACH, LFGB and EU Regulation 10/2011 dossiers. Outstanding stability for medical and high-temperature cooking working conditions, mass supply to EU pharmaceutical packaging customers domestically; ❌ Weaknesses: Limited low-temperature modified product lines, general grades deliver weak low-temperature bending resistance prone to insufficient toughness when used for -30°C cold-chain films, product pricing ranks highest among the five brands.
Main Grades: XJL-68 High-Temperature Resistant ESBO, XJL-LT Low-Temperature Modified ESBO ✅ Strengths: Self-developed oil blending modification process, XJL-LT directional optimization of molecular flexibility delivering industry-leading -35°C low-temperature bending resistance, mainstream export grade for domestic low-temperature food films. Two-stage molecular distillation impurity removal with low small-molecule residues; ❌ Weaknesses: Limited mass production capacity for high-purity refined medical grades, trace catalyst residues of standard XJL-68 slightly higher than Jiaao medical grades, unsuitable for strict infant medical sealing gaskets.
Main Grades: HLD-8002 Low-Odor Medical ESBO, HLD-8003 High Heat-Resistant ESBO ✅ Strengths: Specializes in low-VOC ultra-low-odor grades; HLD-8002 undergoes deep deodorization delivering superior odor levels vs peers, no odor precipitation in infant plastic products with mass adoption by German and Swiss infant packaging customers; ❌ Weaknesses: High mass production costs, upper limit of epoxy value for general standard grades reaches only 6.5%, inferior long-term high-temperature cooking stability vs Jiaao food-grade products.
Main Grade: DC-62 National Standard Premium General ESBO ✅ Strengths: Industry-leading production capacity, prominent raw material procurement cost advantages, strong mass spot delivery capacity for general food-grade products with outstanding cost performance; ❌ Weaknesses: Focuses on general mass-produced grades lacking subdivided customized high-purity medical and low-temperature modified models, internal control indicators only meet national standards failing strict France DGCCRF limits, only suitable for low-end civilian packaging.
Main Grade: QL-61 Industrial & General Food-Grade ESBO ✅ Strengths: Stable raw material supply relying on petrochemical industrial chain, basic physical-chemical indicators meet national standard premium grade requirements; ❌ Weaknesses: Standard mass-produced products without subdivided modified grades, loose internal control of migration indicators with high specific migration in olive oil simulation liquid.
HiSiaddi Comprehensive Screening Conclusion: Dongchen Chemical and Qilu Blue New Materials focus on general mass-produced raw materials lacking subdivided modified grades failing the customer’s dual medical & food compliance thresholds for France, directly eliminated. The remaining Jiaao Enpro and Xinjinlong Bio are preferred brands matching mid-to-high-end requirements, with three subdivided grades selected from the two manufacturers to align one-to-one with the customer’s three production lines.
Combined with working conditions of Franpack’s three product lines and France’s local regulatory limits, HiSiaddi finalized the model selection plan: two supplying manufacturers and three exclusive ESBO grades precisely divided by application scenarios:
1. Jiaao Enpro JA-MED Refined Medical ESBO → Exclusive for Infant Complementary Food Bottle Cap Sealing Gaskets Matching Logic: High epoxy value, low iodine value, low impurities, deep rectification removing catalyst residues, low migration meeting France DGCCRF infant food control standards without oil precipitation after 125°C cooking, perfectly matching high-temperature sterilization working conditions of sealing gaskets.
2. Jiaao Enpro JA-FOOD Heat-Resistant Food-Grade ESBO → Exclusive for Jam High-Temperature Cooking Composite Films Matching Logic: Excellent thermal stability without yellowing or haze after 121°C cooking, four simulation liquid migration values under EU Regulation 10/2011 all far below statutory limits, adapting to high-temperature sterilization production of normal-temperature jam.
3. Xinjinlong Bio XJL-LT Low-Temperature Modified ESBO → Exclusive for Ultra-Low-Temperature Refrigerated Dairy Packaging Films Matching Logic: Exclusive low-temperature modified formula without cracking after bending for 72 hours at -32°C, compensating for Jiaao’s insufficient low-temperature product lines to match cold-chain storage environments in France.
Franpack’s R&D department ran sample production on original PVC formulas with full testing of three categories of finished products: no bloom on sealing gaskets, transparent cooking films without yellowing, intact low-temperature films with bending toughness meeting standards. Simultaneously, France third-party laboratories conducted full DGCCRF and EU Regulation 10/2011 migration testing, with all three reports passing compliance and performance matching original imported Arkema raw materials.
10 tons JA-MED, 9 tons JA-FOOD, 6 tons XJL-LT. HiSiaddi coordinated staggered production schedules at the two manufacturers with unified container loading at Shanghai Port for shipment to Lyon. After delivery, three production lines operated at full load for 15 consecutive days with all finished products passing downstream supermarket sampling inspection, delivering a finished product yield rate of 99.8% without any quality abnormalities.
After full verification of trial production, France Franpack formally signed an annual procurement contract: total annual volume of 92 tons for two Jiaao grades and 53 tons for Xinjinlong low-temperature grade, shipped in 12 balanced monthly batches. Compared with original Arkema products, comprehensive procurement costs decreased by 31.8%, delivery cycles compressed from 115 days to 40 days, completely resolving the customer’s pain points of limited delivery cycles and persistently high raw material costs of European manufacturers.
1. Stable Annual Repeat Orders + Synchronized Model Selection for New Products: Annual framework orders have been consistently fulfilled for two consecutive years. When the customer launched a new organic fruit puree flexible packaging product line, HiSiaddi was again entrusted to screen improved grades from the two cooperating brands.
2. Optimization of Export-Exclusive Grades by Two Manufacturers: Leveraging measured data from the mid-to-high-end French customer, Jiaao Enpro and Xinjinlong Bio fine-tuned internal control indicators aligned with French regulations to finalize export-exclusive grades dedicated to the French market. Via HiSiaddi, successive orders were secured from equivalent food packaging enterprises in the Netherlands and Belgium.
3. Establishment of Domestic Raw Material Selection Mechanism Led by HiSiaddi: All future localized selection of PVC auxiliary agents for new raw materials will entrust HiSiaddi to conduct neutral evaluation of domestic brands, eliminating selection bias caused by one-sided promotion from single manufacturers.
1. Common Industry Pain Points: Sales strategies of domestic ESBO manufacturers prioritize promoting self-owned products under compliance promotion rules of "no slander of competitors but no voluntary objective introduction of peer strengths". Mid-to-high-end overseas customers lack familiarity with segmented positioning of domestic brands and easily select mismatched grades solely based on unilateral manufacturer introductions, leading to production scrap losses. General large manufacturers focus on national standard mass-produced raw materials, while subdivided modified, medical and low-temperature special grades are concentrated among specialized leading enterprises, resulting in extremely high independent screening costs for customers.
2. Core Service Value of HiSiaddi: Acting as a neutral third-party foreign trade service provider free of brand interest ties, HiSiaddi horizontally disassembles strengths and weaknesses of multiple leading brands objectively, streamlines model selection based on end-use working conditions of customers, eliminates mismatched brands and precisely locks two manufacturers and three grades, breaking information barriers from single manufacturer monopolized information and helping customers efficiently complete localized substitution model selection.
3. Procurement Logic of Mid-to-High-End Overseas Customers: When selecting ESBO, high-end food packaging enterprises prioritize grade scenario adaptability and compliance completeness, willing to pay reasonable premiums for subdivided special grades yet unable to bear production line shutdown and finished product scrap losses caused by selection errors. Neutral objective horizontal multi-brand evaluation becomes a key enabler for customers to implement domestic procurement.
