si c'est sur le topsheet, ce n'est pas un booster mais du spinmax...

peux tu détailler comment ca marche?

Background:
We would like to draw your attention to the decision made in Guangzhou, valid from 1. September 2008 (The Law 2.4.7.):
The covering material should be used as it has been authorised by the ITTF without any physical, chemical or other treatment, changing or modifying playing properties, friction, outlook, colour, structure, surface, etc.

This means an absolute ban for the use of boosters (tuners, enhancers, improvers, etc.). The purpose of a booster is to change something – if not, what would be the intention. You may find such products claiming to be harmless, to be allowed by ITTF, or to be without VC (volatile compounds), etc. There is little reason to believe this is true. Please be very sceptical since these are generally bad for your health, even containing poison in some cases.

According to our tests there is no way that a sponge can be treated separate from the covering; refer the usual way a booster is applied, i.e. on the sponge.

Boosters represent a messy, time consuming, costly, unhealthy, and now illegal way of achieving spin and speed, and you may be detected in a tournament. Other and better ways exist for the same purpose.

Remember:
You as a player are responsible for using a clean racket, i.e. without VC and with the correct thickness. Air your new rubber outside the plastic bag for at least 72 hours before gluing it. Use only water based glue or PSAs . Always carry a spare racket if you can.

Testing for VCs will be made at tournaments using a device called enez. This is able to detect very small amounts of solvents thereby showing a red light when too much. Also newer versions are available being more sensitive than the present version to detect boosters. Some places there will be a backup device called RAE which is even more sensitive.

Testing for maximum thickness (= 4.00 mm) will be more strict than before since more accurate measuring equipment are available. Our Technical Leaflet T4 states regarding the thickness limit: ‘On no part of the playing surface on a racket covering should this be extended’.

We are all working for a Clean Sport, and we wish you to enjoy our game even better now.

Best regards

Je ne comprends pas l'ITTF il aurait plus facile pour eux de règlementer la colle en imposant une composition standard unique, il y aurait moins de problèmes.

je crois que personne ni eux même comprennent quelque chose à quoi que ce soit...

Alors si j'ai bien compris il faut débourser entre 25 et 30€ pour surfer sur la vague de l'écologie...

Il y a eu un cas d'évanouissement il me semble en Asie de l'Est (qu'on a reporté, il y en a peut-être d'autres qui ne sont pas mis sur le compte de la colle).
Si un joueur vient à mourir à cause de ça je pense que l'ITTF est pas top placée (si rare cela soit-il).

Je suis presque d'accord, car cela dépend des doses rencontrées.
Comme le spécifie l'article sur wiki : "La valeur limite d'exposition professionnelle est fixée à 500 ppm (1210 mg/m³) dans l'Union européenne" (source : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ac%C3%A9tone#Effets_s...)

Ca montre bien qu'à forte dose (dans le passage que tu cites "à des doses importantes d'acétone" c'est dangereux, mais qu'aux doses que le pongiste rencontre pour décoller ses plaques, ça doit pas être bien méchant..

Il y a eu des cas de joueurs qui ont perdu connaissance en collant lors de compétitions.

Et après on essayera encore de faire croire que tout ça est encore autorisé par l'Ittf

ça me fait trop rire

Et au fait, pourquoi ne plus homologuer un BS ?

Quel texte interdit l'utilisation des colles avec VOC??

Ce texte voudrait simplement dire que la raquette ne doit pas diffuser de VOC, ce qui irait dans le sens de Wack par rapport à la colle normale.

3.02.04 Gluing
3.02.04.01 It is the responsibility of each player to ensure that racket coverings are attached to their racket blade with adhesives that do not contain harmful volatile solvents.
3.02.04.02 Tests for harmful volatile solvents shall be carried out at World and Olympic title competitions,Pro-Tour tournaments and World Junior Circiut events, and a player whose racket is found to contain such a solvent is liable to be disqualified from the competition and reported to his Association. The current ITTF testing procedures in place before 25 May 2007 will continue until 1 January 2008 at junior events and until 1 September 2008 for all other events; as of these dates respectively new testing procedures and protocols will be implemented to detect harmful volatile solvents.
