Hello, everyone! I'm Zhanghuimin. I speak for food grade TPE!
TPE materials are widely known for their wide range of applications: automobiles, sports equipment, tool handles, kitchen supplies, baby toys, food contact TPE, so today we focus on what TPE materials can meet in replacing silicone materials. TPE can replace Silicon gel completely, I followed my footsteps to see ... before, Silicon gel is widely used in smart wear, medical supplies, food cutlery, daily products and crafts. But even the best materials can not withstand human finesse and the pursuit of perfection. Modular Silicon gel vulcanization processing period is long, and after Silicon gel vulcanization processing into products, its materials are difficult to recycle and use again. It is because of these deficiencies that the application of Silicon gel is limited, and TPE elastomer materials are just perfect. These disadvantages of Silicon gel.
TPE elastomer material replaces the advantage of Silicon gel: thermoplastic elastomer TPE(mixing modification based on SEBS) has soft hardness and elasticity similar to that of Silicon gel, and its chiral and environmental protection properties are comparable to that of Silicon gel. More importantly, TPE elastomer materials can be directly and quickly injected or extruded, shortening the material's processing cycle from the minute minute of Silicon sulfide gel to the second second. Moreover, TPE materials can be recycled 100 %, and the material cost is equivalent to or slightly cheaper than silica gel. TPE materials meet the EU environmental protection standards and pass FDA food grade certification. They are safe and non-toxic. Therefore, in recent years, TPE elastomer materials have replaced silicone, and are widely used in food tableware products, adult products, smart wearable electronic products, and medical products..
Which applications can food-grade TPE materials replace silicone?
Good feel products: such as handles, grip products. You can try to replace it with TPE, of course, which requires that TPE suppliers provide a special TPE formula solution.
Electronic accessories products: mobile phone shells, smart bracelet wristbands, smart watch belts, etc.. If replaced with TPE, TPE is faster to form than silicone, and the yield is higher, which can reduce costs.
Adult products: TPE replacement silicone in the adult sex products industry application received market recognition. Because the industry is mainly considering the soft touch of materials. TPE has better performance than silica gel in terms of soft touch, and its hardness and physical properties are easy to adjust, which can meet the different requirements of customers. TPE is an adult product that needs to start with the formula to overcome the deficiencies of material cracks, fogging, yellowing, and sticking.
Food tableware: food tableware such as ice, meal box, pacifier, kitchen handle, etc., its main material contact with food, or mainly silicone. For these environmentally demanding products, if the customer has to do FDA2600 or LFGB food grade testing, the TPE hardness must be above 70A, otherwise use silicone. If customers do not have such strict requirements for food testing, such as simply doing distilled water and 50 % alcohol tests, they can use TPE instead.
Specializing in the sale of various hardness food grade TPE raw materials, TPE over the US FDA requirements, TPE over the United States 177.2600 environmental protection test, more food grade TPE raw materials can be consulted by telephone
