What distinction does TPE adult thing have with silica gel raw material? A few years ago, silica gel has been widely used in many fields such as daily necessities, sex toys, medical devices and electronic industry with its soft touch, good elasticity, non-toxic safety and other characteristics. No matter how good the material is, it has gone through the progress of The Times, and people's pursuit is more perfect, looking for new materials to replace silica gel. According to the current situation, the success of adult products TPE has risen. In taobao or brick-and-mortar stores, more adult products are made of TPE materials, and the application of TPE instead of silica gel in the adult sex toys industry has basically received market recognition. Based on my understanding of plastics and TPE industry, this paper analyzes the reasons why TPE environmental material replaces silica gel in the adult products industry.
　　Disadvantages of silicone for adult products：
　　1.The price cost is high, the quality of silica gel in the market minimum 30000 yuan/ton start.
　　2.The processing and molding cycle is relatively long. Silica gel needs to be crosslinked (or vulcanized). Except for a few injectable silica gel, the molding and processing time of most silica gel raw materials needs to be measured in minutes, which reduces the production capacity.
　　3.Can not be recycled, can not save costs, waste resources.
TPE Raw Material
　　Advantages of adult products TPE raw materials：
　　TPE and silica gel have many similar properties, such as soft touch, elastic rubber, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, etc. Compared with silica gel, TPE has its advantages:
　　1.TPE environmental non-toxic, in line with the eu environmental ROHS, PAHS, 12P, DIN53160, en71-3, PFOS, FDA, REACH and other directives.
　　2.Adult supplies TPE generally in 20,000-30000 yuan/ton or so, scrap scrap can be 100% recycled granulation, reduce the cost.
　　3.Can use injection molding or extrusion process rapid molding, no need for vulcanization, easy to process.
　　4.TPE has better soft touch performance than silica gel, and its hardness and physical properties are easy to adjust, which can better meet customers' different requirements.
