JUYE TPE material solutions for adult products: Shore 00~15A ultra-soft skin-like texture, medical-grade safety, halogen-free and phthalate-free, replacing silicone and PVC, with 7 major application scenarios and selection parameters.
I. Application Background and Pain Points of Adult Product Materials
Adult products are a special category that comes into long-term close contact with human skin and mucous membranes. The safety and feel of the material almost directly determine product reputation and repurchase. Before the rise of TPE adult product materials, the industry mainly relied on two types of materials: silicone and PVC. Although silicone is chemically inert and biocompatible, its processing requires hydraulic compression molding, which is time-consuming and costly, with low transparency, foggy color matching, and difficulty achieving ultra-soft hand feel below 0 degrees; PVC, while low in cost, generally contains phthalates (plasticizers), posing risks of harmful substance leaching and migration, making it difficult to pass European and American environmental准入 standards.
For adult product brands targeting overseas markets, materials must simultaneously meet three hard requirements: first, safety and compliance for long-term contact with the human body (FDA, ISO 10993, REACH); second, a soft touch close to real human skin; and third, scalable, low-cost injection molding. Modified TPE is precisely the alternative that hits all three points—it bridges the gap between the easy processability of plastics and the high elasticity of rubber, becoming the mainstream trend replacing silicone in adult products in recent years.

2. Comparison of Adult Product Material Options: TPE / Silicone / PVC
Choosing materials for adult products is essentially a balance among "safety, feel, transparent color matching, and processing cost." The table below provides a horizontal comparison of three common materials from the dimensions most relevant to adult products:
Comparison Dimension | TPE (SEBS/SEEPS based) | Silicone | PVC |
Soft and Hard Control | Below 0 degrees ultra-soft to high-hardness freely adjustable | Soft and extra-soft are difficult to make | Hard, requires a lot of plasticizer |
Skin Touch | Simulated skin texture, warm and non-greasy | Fine suede feel, slightly neutral | Stiff, sticky |
Safety and Environmental Protection | Medical grade, halogen-free and phthalate-free | Inert safety, difficult to recycle | Contains phthalates, easily precipitated |
Transparency and Color Matching | High transparency adjustable, vibrant colors | Low transparency, hazy color scheme | Transparent, yellows with prolonged use |
Processing and Forming | Injection/pouring, short cycle time | Oil pressure molding, long cycle | Injection molding, but harmful precipitation |
Total Cost | Moderate, recyclable cost reduction | Higher | Low but compliance risk high |

3. TPE Hardness Grades and Key Parameters for Adult Products
Adult products have extremely precise requirements for feel. Juye uses SEBS-based materialModified TPE, with hardness segments precisely controlled through formulation and oil-filling processes, covering all needs from ultra-soft main bodies to rigid accessories (organized below by hardness segments; specific grades customized according to product structure and process):
·Environmental certification: Complies with RoHS 2.0, REACH, FDA 177, ISO 10993 biocompatibility, with the limit for four types of phthalates controlled within 0.1%, and strict control of harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.
·Physical properties: high resilience, tear resistance, elongation rate up to more than ten times, low permanent deformation (≤5%), no collapse or deformation under long-term high-frequency use.
·Low extraction process: low oil filling + high molecular weight SEEPS base material, avoiding stickiness and migration caused by excessive oil filling, non-sticky to the touch, and easy to clean.
·Appearance customization: available in transparent / translucent / skin-tone / colored, with uniform and stable coloring that is not prone to fading, and vacuum degassing can be used to enhance transparency.
Hardness Grade (Shore) | Hand feel characteristics | Typical Applications | Molding process |
Extra soft 00~0A and below | Ultra-realistic skin texture, soft and springy | Ultra-soft body and realistic touch parts for men | Infusion / Injection Molding |
Soft 5~10A | Soft and skin-friendly, comfortable fit | Accessories and soft cover products | Injection / Pouring |
ChinaSoft 10~15A | Soft with support, providing a supportive feel | Solid thick-walled female device | Injection molding |
Medium Hard 20~80A | Resilient, structurally stable | Handle, base, hard accessories | Injection molding / Two-shot overmolding |

4. Advantages of Juye TPE Adult Product Material Solutions (each corresponds to a buyer pain point)
1.0 degrees ultra-soft, simulated skin touch:Can achieve ultra-soft formulas below 00~0A that are difficult for silicone, with a soft and warm touch, close to real human skin, directly enhancing product experience and selling points.
2.Medical-grade safety, halogen-free and phthalate-free:Complies with FDA 177, ISO 10993, RoHS/REACH, halogen-free, no harmful leaching; phthalate limit <0.1%, no irritation from long-term skin/mucous membrane contact, easily passes European and American environmental access.
3.Low bleeding, non-sticky, easy to clean: Low oil filling + high molecular weight base material prevents oil bleeding and stickiness, non-sticky to the touch, easy to clean, suitable for frequent close-contact scenarios.
4.High transparency and high color matching, producing more premium images:High transparency adjustable, stable and vivid colors, making up for the shortcoming of silicone color matching that appears foggy, enhancing the texture of the transparent / crystal series.
5.Easy to process, recyclable, cost reduction in mass production:Injection molding / casting in one step, short cycle, no burrs or bubbles, sprue material can be recycled and reused, replacing silicone compression molding significantly reduces cost and improves efficiency.
5. 7 Application Scenarios of TPE Adult Product Materials

13.How to choose between TPE and silicone for adult products?For ultra-soft below 0 degrees, high transparency color matching, easy processing and low cost, choose TPE; for extreme high and low temperature resistance and medical implant-grade inertness, choose silicone. For the ultra-soft body and accessories of most adult products, TPE offers better cost-effectiveness and feel.
14.Will TPE leach harmful substances like PVC?Juye adult products TPE is halogen-free and phthalate-free, with phthalate limit <0.1%, and has passed FDA and ISO 9001, REACH, using low-oil process to prevent exudation and stickiness, safety far superior to PVC containing plasticizers.
15.How soft can it get? Can the color be customized?Can be made ultra-soft below Shore 00~0A, with a realistic skin touch; colors support transparent / translucent / skin tone / custom colors, with uniform and stable coloring, and vacuum degassing can improve transparency.
16.What are the MOQ and delivery time? Can you provide test reports?We support small batch samples to mass production, the delivery time for modified materials is controllable, and we can provide RoHS / REACH / FDA / ISO 9001 and other test reports, welcome to request samples.
