Unveiling the Insights About Dishwasher Testing for Water Bottle Exports? Part 1
Every cup has a story, and life has its warmth. Hello everyone, and welcome to ""Dong Dong's Cup Talk" I’ve previously shared information about dishwasher testing for water bottles. However, as time has passed, https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10533.htmladvancements in manufacturing processes and updates in testing requirements have made some of the earlier content outdated.
Recently, a friend reached out to me with questions about this topic, so I’ve invited Engineer Li, who has years of expertise in spraying and printing technologies at our factory, to share his insights. The following content is based on Engineer Li’s explanations, compiled and organized by me. Due to the depth of the topic, I’ll break it down into several standalone articles. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10533.htmlAlso, given the volume of information, there might be occasional data inaccuracies in my compilation. If you spot any, please feel free to message me privately, and I’ll make corrections as soon as possible.
1. Dishwasher Testing: A "Mandatory Course" for Export Factories
This test, to put it plainly, simulates the process of how foreign consumers repeatedly "abuse" their cups in dishwashers. Since around 2005, clients from Europe and America have increasingly required this test. Why? Because it reflects their lifestyle—after a meal, they toss everything, including cups and bowls, into the dishwasher. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10533.htmlThe water temperature reaches 60-70°C, combined with highly alkaline detergents, followed by intense rinsing and drying. If a cup can’t withstand this process—if the coating peels, the design fades after a few uses, or worse, it starts leaking—can you blame customers for complaining?
So, the purpose of this test boils down to three key points:
1. Durability Check: To see if the coating and printing are "tough" enough to endure this kind of "torture."
2. Safety Assurance: To prevent the cup from leaching harmful substances into the water under high temperatures and detergent exposure—a matter of critical importance directly impacting human health.
3. Brand Protection: A durable cup earns customer trust in your brand. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10533.htmlOur factory learned this the hard way: an early batch of plastic cups had designs that faded after just 5 dishwasher cycles, leading to a full return of the entire shipment. The loss? Painful!
