Is TPE car mat harmful?

What kind of material is TPE? Is TPE car mat harmful to the human body? Including whether TPE material is toxic?

This is the question of many consumers at present. As a material that is increasingly in close contact with people, its environmental protection and non-toxic properties are naturally affected by the public wide attention. Simply put, TPE is an elastomeric plastic with rubber and PVC properties.

In daily life, common supplies made of TPE materials include tool handles, diving supplies, sports equipment, casters, ice trays, doll toys, luggage accessories, wires and cables, adult products, auto parts, stationery, environmental protection films, and elastic Plastic products such as pipes and seals. Next, I will focus on explaining what material TPE is and whether it is harmful to the body:

First, what material is TPE?
TPE, also called thermoplastic elastomer, is a material with high elasticity, high strength, high resilience of rubber, and the characteristics of injection molding. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and safe, has a wide range of hardness, has excellent colorability, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, superior processing performance, no need for vulcanization, and can be recycled to reduce costs. It can be two-shot injection molding. It can be coated and bonded with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other base materials, or it can be molded separately.

Second, is the TPE material harmful to the body?
TPE is an environmentally friendly non-toxic material, non-toxic material that does not produce environmental hormones. Moreover, TPE has anti-skid and wear-resistant effects. It is molded with hard plastic and has good adhesion with the main material of polypropylene. The two materials are soft and hard combined, and two-color matching. PP provides the strength of the cutting board, and TPE provides the anti-skid property of the cutting board. , While increasing the aesthetics of the product. Compared with ordinary plastics, the TPU design with 3-4 times the strength will not cause peculiar smell. TPE materials have the following characteristics:

1. Superior hand feeling: high strength; high resilience; high flexibility; delicate and smooth; non-sticky ash.

2. Superior performance: UV resistance; aging resistance; acid and alkali resistance; fatigue resistance.

3. Easy to process: good fluidity; light specific gravity; easy to color. Suitable for injection molding; extrusion molding.

4. Green and environmental protection: meet FDA (n-hexane); LFGB (olive oil) testing standards.

5. Molding process: first clean the machine with PP (polypropylene); molding temperature is 180-210℃.

6. Application fields: baby products; medical products; tableware; daily necessities; kitchen and bathroom products; environmental protection.

7. Products that require food-grade requirements.

Therefore, the TPE material is completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and meets the EU environmental protection ROHS certification. Please feel free to use it.
