TPE/TPR vs PVC in toy industry

The toy industry has been the important export industry in China. Soft plastic toys is always an active element in toy industry, such as: cartoon dolls, doll eraser, monster high fashion doll toys and the simulation toys and so on. They has been praised by foreign and domestic children.

But all the toy entrepreneurs feel that Export environmental safety inspection of toy industry is becoming more and more strict, Export inspection strict inevitably lead to the problems of production management and the rising cost of raw materials, so, toy companies only constantly digging and find the market demand, develop high value-added products so they can be in a better position to in the fierce competition of market.

At present most domestic enterprises usually use PVC soft rubber to produce toys. Due to most of PVC soft rubber contain toxic plasticizer(Phthalates), Foreign markets of children toys is reject PVC, and the European Union(EN71) and the the United States standard(ASTMF963) which also limits the application of PVC in the toy industry.

Soft TPE/TPR material is based on SEBS, SBS.TPE, TPR soft rubber material has been recognized by more and more foreign company because they contains no plasticizer, halogen free environmental safety materials. What is more, most TPE/TPR manufacturers can provide the Environmental production test report.

Global demand for Thermoplastic elastomers-is it true ?

TPE:A better choice for infusion tube

Intravenous infusion is the most commonly used method in clinical treatment, about 60%-70% of our hospital patients get treatment by intravenous infusion, about 80% of the emergency patients also get treatment by intravenous infusion.

Compared with other methods, intravenous infusion is the biggest risk way So the safety of intravenous infusion get more and more attention. There are many factors that affect the safety of clinical transfusion, and the material of the infusion device is an important link among them. 

Traditional PVC infusion has some defects,for example(1) Need to add plasticizer, generally DEHP (2) need to add  variety of metal ions as stabilizers, 
such as lead, cadmium, etc.(3) Dioxin can severely pollute the environm

Compared with the traditional PVC infusion, TPE infusion has the following characteristics(1)with no plasticizer-DEHP.  (2)with no stabilizers  (3) with no dioxin.

Brief introduction of environmentally friendly TPE materials: do not contain DEHP and other plasticizers, does not contain nonyl phenol (NP), 
does not contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs, does not contain bisphenol A (BPA), without the addition of any stabilizer. TPE is 
a Environmentally friendly material.

How temperature influence the processing of TPE adhesion to ABS ？？

It is very common for TPE adhesion to ABS. On the premise of no problem for the equipment and mould. Temperature is the main infuential factor of injection molding processing.

some time ago, i have follow a client who look for TPE materials adhesion ABS. His product is a button(size:80 mm long,20 mm wide, 2~3mm Thickness, Main material is ABS) so he want some TPE materials to adhesion to this button in order to get better soft feeling.

First step, i take some button samples to our engineers for testing. according to the result, they provide me a TPE materials(hardness:50A,specific gravity:1.07) with Good mobility. I carried these sample to my client's factory for testing the sample.

second step: the processing of testing. First time, their engineer adjusted the temperature of machine to 190℃ but the result is very bad because of the product deformation. Second time,185℃，the result is better than first time. Third time, it is perfect.

Analysis summary: the reason of Product deformation is too much higher temperature during processing of overmolding and too fast speed of open mould. The concrete problem need a concrete analysis-GainShine TPE

Do you konw why TPE can replace PVC ???

The emergence of the TPE is known as the third revolution in the rubber industry. Thermoplastic Elastomers not only have the elasticity of Vulcanized rubber, but also have Processing performance of thermoplastic plastic.As a new material,with the soft touch and excellent performance of TPEs, market of TPE has become bigger and bigger.

why can TPE replace PVC?

1. PVC is unfriendly to environment,but TPE is so environmentally friendly.

2. Process performance of PVC is not good instead of TPE.

3. Aging resistance of PVC is poor, but TPE is so good

4. It is very hard to to be degraded waste of PVC,but TPE can be Recycle.

5. It will release harmful material and produce the hazardous waste during the processing of PVC.

6. When you are processing the PVC,it will release dioxin acidic gas in high temperature.

In conclusion,TPE is a better choice than PVC.GainShine TPE is a leading manufacturer of TPE/TPR from china for more than 15 years. Please contact us to request for a free sample.

The concept of thermoplastic elastomer

1.The concept of thermoplastic elastomer

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes known as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers.

2.the types and Detailed introduction of TPE

TPE is the general term of thermoplastic elastomer. According to the different structure unit of raw materials, TPE Elastomer can divide into four types, including: Thermoplastic Elastomer(TPE), Thermoplastic Rubber(TPR), Thermoplastic Polyrethane(TPU), Thermoplastic Vulcanizate(TPV). The most common, most used for various applications in large quantites among these types of elastomers is TPE. so we will emphasis on the information about TPEs.

1.1 Styrene-polystyrene elastomer:TPE

TPE-s is one type of thermoplastic elastomers which base on SEBS and SBS.we usually called TPEor TPR(thermoplastic rubber).

1.2 The Basic properties of TPE-s

TPE has the basic propertied of Thermal plasticity processing of plastic and elasticity of rubber so we can adjust the hardness to have a comfortable touch feeling.
