tpe? What plastic is used for children's toys? Many families have only one baby. They hope that the child can grow up healthily and happily. During the growth process, they will buy various toys for them to accompany them. What is more important than health? Environmentally friendly, non-toxic and comfortable touch, of course, is TPE\TPR material .
Some friends may ask why I wrote TPE and TPR? In fact, TPE is a material made of blending and modifying SEBS as the substrate. The material modified by SBS substrate is called TPR. It’s just that there are slightly different names in terms of name, and the regional names are also different. We all like to call it TPR soft material in Yiwu. In fact, TPE and TPR are just different names for thermoplastic elastomer materials.
TPE\TPR material is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and safe, has a wide range of hardness, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, excellent processing performance, no need for vulcanization, and can be recycled and reduced costs. It can be used for secondary injection molding, coated and bonded with matrix materials such as PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS, etc., or molded separately.
If children's toys require bright color matching, try to use TPR material with SBS substrate, and the proportion of the filling system should be smaller. The toy industry generally needs to pass EN71-3, some require compliance with the latest REACH (SVHC), some require testing of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), nonylphenol (NP), bisphenol A (BPA), phthalate (16P, 6P), etc.
Currently there are TPE\TPR and PVC toys on the market, but as early as 2000, EU countries rejected PVC toys. After all, PVC contains plasticizing agents, which has certain health risks. Lien TPE manufacturer, as a member unit of Jinhua Toys and Baby Products Association, has a responsibility to provide healthy and environmentally friendly children's toy materials for children around the world. What material is
tpe? In addition, different children's toy products also have different requirements for the tensile strength, tear resistance, elasticity and color matching of the material. However, although there are various difficulties in customizing a TPE\TPR toy material that fully meets the user application scenarios, Lien TPE manufacturers have been able to meet the needs of downstream toy manufacturers to produce mid-to-high-end TPE and TPR material toy products after 16 years of development.
