Although there is no conclusion on whether Teflon is toxic, the debate has spread to other fields besides non stick pans, such as small household appliances. An insider told the reporter that many large domestic rice cooker manufacturers have begun to seek new materials for making rice cooker liners. Because the rice cooker industry is no less dependent on "Teflon" than non stick cookers. Teflon conveyor belt
Recently, news of seeking health materials has been constantly coming from rice cooker manufacturers. Galanz, a big producer of rice cookers, began to urgently seek new materials and new coating technology to use new materials on the inner liners of rice cookers, microwave ovens and light wave ovens as soon as possible. Yili Electric, another household appliance and rice cooker enterprise in Shunde, which is also located with Galanz, has taken the lead in selecting a new material, purple sand, as the inner liner of the rice cooker. Last week, Nippon Electric, another household appliance rice cooker manufacturer in Guangdong, announced publicly that it would stop using DuPont Teflon technology and products. At the same time, we will wait for the test results of relevant departments, and if it is true, we will claim 10 million dollars from DuPont. According to He Yaohua, marketing director of Nippon Electric, the company invested more than 20 million yuan in the production line of Teflon a year ago, but after the "toxic pot" incident was disclosed, it has had a serious impact on the sales and production of Nippon's non stick pot products.
Can the action of Nippon represent the idea of the same industry? It is understood that some small household appliance manufacturers said that they must wait for the next inspection report from the AQSIQ before taking corresponding measures.
Some insiders pointed out that it is wise for domestic household appliance enterprises to find a way out early. Otherwise, once the harmful speculation of "Teflon" is established, the crisis faced by Chinese enterprises using "Teflon" is no less than that faced by DuPont. Because China is the world's largest producer of both non stick and rice cookers. Last year, China's total output of rice cookers reached 13.74 million sets. At present, there are more than 600 household appliance rice cooker manufacturers in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places alone, with an annual output of more than 30 million sets. In some areas, the production of rice cookers has become the pillar of the local economy. Take Lianjiang in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province as an example. One out of every four rice cookers in China comes from here. Its sales exceed 600 million yuan, and the number of employees reaches more than 5000. According to the latest figures released by the China Household Appliance Association, as of May this year, the output of electric rice cookers in China has reached 14.44 million, of which 5.93 million yuan was exported.

Industry insiders worry that once the electric rice cooker is affected by the "Teflon" incident, domestic sales will stagnate or export sales will be blocked, which will bring huge losses to the enterprise. If the "Teflon" product is proved to have problems in September, then how many domestic rice cooker enterprises transform will be a serious topic facing the industry.
