Simply speaking, TPE material is a kind of plastic. In daily life, common articles made of TPE material include plastic products such as tool handles, diving articles, sports equipment, casters, ice boxes, doll toys, luggage accessories, wires and cables, adult articles, auto parts, stationery, environmental protection films, elastic pipes, seals, etc. So is TPE material poisonous?
TPE material is an environment-friendly and nontoxic material, which will not produce environmental hormones. In addition, TPE has anti-skid and wear-resistant effects, which is molded with hard plastic and has good adhesion with polypropylene/PP main material. The two materials are soft and hard combined with two colors. PP provides the strength of the chopping block, TPE provides the anti-skid performance of the chopping block, and at the same time, it increases the aesthetics of the product. Compared with ordinary plastics, TPU with 3-4 times strength will not produce peculiar smell.
TPE materials have the following characteristics:
1. superior hand feeling: high strength; High rebound; High flexibility; Delicate and smooth; Non-sticky ash
2. Excellent performance: anti-UV; Aging resistance; Acid and alkali resistance; Fatigue resistance.
3. Easy processing: good fluidity; Light specific gravity; Easy to color.
4. Green environmental protection: reaching FDA (n-hexane); Testing standard of LFGB (olive oil).
5. Molding process: firstly, clean the machine with PP (polypropylene); The molding temperature is 180-210℃.
6. Application field: baby products; Medical supplies; Tableware; Articles for daily use; Waiting for environmental protection
7. Products requiring food grade requirements. (can be overmolded with PP and PE).
8. Processing method: injection molding or extrusion molding.
In recent years, TPE materials have been used more and more in food packaging materials, kitchenware and tableware, baby products and other industries. Including the application of tpe raw materials in medical industry: suction balls, instrument handles, medical casters, straps, containers, gas masks, various pipe fittings, bottle stoppers and related medical supplies, etc. Therefore, TPE materials are completely nontoxic and environmentally friendly.
