TPE toy material uses environmentally friendly materials. In the production process, the requirements for production technology and raw materials are very high, so the price is more expensive than PVC. Currently, there are very few factories in China that produce TPE cushion pads, and materials are mainly imported from Taiwan.
PVC cushion pads come in a wide variety, with prices ranging from a dozen to dozens of yuan. TPE is mostly over 100 yuan or even several hundred yuan.
However, a better quality PVC pad will never be provided for just twenty or thirty yuan.
What is the difference between TPE material and TPR?
Difference 2: The smell of a new TPE pad can be dispersed, while the odor of a PVC pad cannot be dispersed.
Are TPE cushion pads environmentally friendly and odorless? A new TPE pad will also have the smell of the raw material itself (unless the seller opens the pad in advance to eliminate the odor).
But don't worry, it doesn't smell like a low-quality pad. When we buy a new pad, open it and place it in a cool, ventilated area to dry for a day or two, so we can get rid of the smell. Let's note here: you cannot put it in the sun!)
If it’s a poor-quality pad, how many days will it take?
Difference 3: TPE cushion pads have better anti-slip and elasticity.
When we buy TPE pads, we don't have to worry about their anti-slip and elasticity. Because pads made of this material are more anti-slip, more elastic, and better made than pads made of PVC material, they can even prevent slipping when sweating.
Difference 4: TPE pads have a longer service life.
TPE pads are more durable than PVC and can be used 4 or 5 times longer than PVC.
