Children’s toys according to the main material points, mainly by the wooden, plastic, rubber, metal, mud and sand, paper, plush fabric. Wooden, plastic and plush are the three main categories.
Let us first do a plastic toy material and understand it.
Plastic toys material are: polystyrene (PS), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), Polyethylene (PE), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Polyurethane (PU), and polyester (PET). Each of these materials has its own characteristics, and the use of inappropriate plastics will affect the performance and safety of your toys.
We hope the following information will help you better understand the health risks of chemicals in plastics and how to choose safer, more sustainable toys for children.
Let’s get to know the common toy materials:
1.Si-TPV Soft elastic material:
Si-TPV Soft elastic material is a class of Non-Sticky thermoplastic elastomer/ Eco-friendly soft touch material/ Soft skin-friendly comfort material/ Eco-friendly soft touch material/ Soft skin-friendly comfort material/ Soft skin-friendly comfort material/ Soft skin-friendly comfort granules are the ideal choice for children’s toys. Soft touch material/ Soft skin-friendly comfort Elastomeric Materials. It has a long-lasting skin-friendly and smooth touch without treatment, passed the FDA and GB food contact test, environmentally friendly and non-toxic, does not contain toxic o-phenylene plasticizers, does not contain bisphenol A, does not contain nonylphenol NP, does not contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs, and has no odor, can be recycled, stain-resistant and easy to clean, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. In addition, it also has a mild nature, antibacterial, and skin contact with the non-allergenic properties, is the ideal choice for children’s toy products materials.
2.TPE materials:
room temperature with the elasticity of rubber, high temperature with a class of Elastomeric Materials can be plasticized molding.TPE material is between rubber and resin is a new type of polymer materials, not only can replace part of the rubber, but also make the plastic to be modified. Thermoplastic elastomer has the rubber and plastic double performance and wide range of characteristics, so that it is widely used in the rubber industry for the manufacture of rubber shoes, rubber cloth and other daily-use products and hoses, tapes, adhesive strips, rubber sheets, rubber parts and adhesives and other industrial supplies.
3.PVC materials:
vinyl chloride monomer in peroxide, azo compounds and other initiators; or under the action of light, heat, according to the free radical polymerization reaction mechanism polymerization of polymers. It is widely used in building materials, industrial products, daily necessities, floor leather, floor tiles, artificial leather, tubes, wires and cables, packaging films, bottles, foaming materials, sealing materials, fibers and so on.
Si-TPV Modified soft slip TPU granules VS TPE, PVC materials
1. More environmentally friendly. Si-TPV Modified soft slip TPU granules/ Plasticizer-free thermoplastic elastomer/ Eco-friendly soft touch material/ Phthalate-Free Elastomeric Materials Compared with PVC, it does not contain phthalate plasticizers, halogen-free, and does not release dioxin and other harmful substances when burned.
2. Wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, overall Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles is a TPU with Improved Frictional Properties, its abrasion resistance is better than TPE, in daily use to better extend the service life, to avoid wear and tear and scratching of toys to avoid the impact of use!
3. Si-TPV Modified soft slip TPU granules can be injection molding, extrusion molding; PVC can be injection molding, extrusion, enameling (enameling) and drip molding (drip molding, micro-injection) molding.
4. Wide range of hardness, Si-TPV Modified soft slip TPU granules hardness of Shore 35A-90A, while the PVC material to the soft rubber material, for example, the hardness of the general 50A-90A. Therefore, Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles can be made in a wider range of toys, rebound good, comfortable and skin-friendly touch.
5. Non-separating and non-sticking. Compared with TPE, Si-TPV soft modified TPU particles is a kind of Non-tacky Thermoplastic Elastomers/ Non-Tacky Elastomeric Materials Innovations. It will not precipitate out sticky, and the surface feel lasting skin-friendly and smooth, without secondary treatment, more suitable for children’s toys. Surface Modification for Non-Stickiness TPE Formulations is also available.
Si-TPV Modified soft slip TPU granules can be widely used in common toy products such as toy dolls, super soft simulation animal toys, toy erasers, pet toys, animation toys, educational toys, simulation adult toys and so on!
