TPE and silica gel concept introduction
Silica gel is a thermosetting elastomer, with the advantages of safety and non-toxic, insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and tasteless, chemical stability, in addition to strong alkali, hydrofluoric acid does not react with any substance, high adsorption performance, good thermal stability, chemical stability, the earliest widely used in adult products, food products.
TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer, with environmental protection, non-toxic, easy to color, feel smooth and soft, hardness range 0A-120A, simple processing and molding, no need for vulcanization processing, can be recycled, reduce costs. It can be coated with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other plastic materials (secondary injection molding), or it can be molded separately.
TPE or silicone which is more suitable for making adult dolls?
Both have their own advantages, but TPE in terms of processing performance, recycling, cost and price of silicone material cost less, with TPE in the variety and application more and more, so TPE is instead of silicone is the preferred material!
In terms of material safety, silicone is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, tasteless, and the most important thing is that TPE is not reusable, and TPE can be recycled. From the characteristics of the material, the silicone wear resistance and high temperature resistance is strong, and TPE material although the softness is better, but easy to deform, with permanent deformation. The physical doll has very high requirements on wear resistance and deformation, so the silicone material is more suitable for making dolls. Silicone doll is currently the largest EXDOLL in China, EXDOLL doll is currently recommended to buy in the official website and Tmall official flagship store, I hope to help you.
