The toy industry is one of China's important export industries, and soft toys are an active element of the toy industry, such as anime dolls, cartoon dolls, eraser dolls, etc., which have always been favored by foreign and domestic children.
As the environmental protection inspection of the toy industry is becoming more and more strict, this puts forward higher requirements on the toy processing industry. This also requires us to use environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials. So, which materials are environmentally friendly?
For soft rubber products, PVC material is not recommended. Because most PVC soft rubber contains toxic plasticizer phthalate, it cannot pass environmental protection and safety inspection. And the foreign children's products market is currently more resistant to PVC. It also limits the application of PVC materials.
Generally speaking, TPE has good characteristics. It is a thermoplastic soft compound, which is easy to be processed. It can be directly injection molded with a conventional injection molding machine. The hardness can be adjusted from Shore A 0 ~ 100 degrees. The most important thing, it is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic material suitable for toy processing. Because of these excellent comprehensive properties, it makes it replace soft PVC and become the preferred raw material for soft toys prototypes.
