Before we get started, let's summarize the PVC and TPU placemats. PVC placemats are widely used for their temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, and cost efficiency, but harmful substances are likely to be released at high temperatures. TPU placemats perform well in terms of abrasion resistance, toughness, and environmental performance, especially for children, and are often considered a healthier option. We will take a closer look at the scope of application of these raw materials from all angles.
Applicable PVC placemat groups and characteristics.
Polyethylene placemats are a common choice, especially if costs are sensitive. Polyethylene has good heat and abrasion resistance, which means it can be used in many different environments and conditions. However, polyethylene may release harmful substances in high temperature environments, which should be a problem for young children, because they are more sensitive to harmful substances during their human development.
Advantages: Low cost and easy to obtain.
It has good heat resistance and is suitable for desktop around pyrogen.
Good abrasion resistance, strong and durable.
Very likely flaw:
Harmful substances can be released at high temperatures, which is harmful to health.
Lack of environmental protection may not be suitable for customers who value sustainability.
Applicable TPU placemat groups and characteristics.
TPU placemat is a more creative raw material, it has excellent wear resistance and elasticity, and because of its wide hardness coverage, it is suitable for the production and manufacture of goods with different hardness. Because it does not produce VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that have an impact, TPU is considered a new type of environmentally friendly material.
Advantages: Excellent abrasion resistance and high impact resistance.
Environmental protection is odorless, suitable for sensitive people.
Adjustable strength, can meet different use requirements.
Very likely flaw:
PVC costs more than PVC and may not be suitable for consumers with limited funds.
The variety of products in the market may not be as colorful as PVC.
Hazards of PVC and TPU placemats to children.
Fully consider that if the child is particularly sensitive to harmful substances, it is necessary to avoid possible harmful substances as much as possible in the growth and development stage, and pay special attention to the environmental protection and safety of raw materials when choosing placemats. TPU placemats may be more suitable for children because they have excellent environmental protection characteristics and are non-toxic and odorless.
How to choose placemats for children?
Parents should pay attention to the following factors when choosing placemats for children:
Safety factor: see if there is any relevant safety verification to ensure that the raw materials are non-toxic and odorless, and are not easy to release harmful substances.
Comfortable: Choose placemats that fit your child's body shape and sitting posture so that your toddler feels comfortable during use.
Durability: Wear-resistant, long-lasting raw materials reduce the frequency of replacements and save costs.
Easy to clean: Raw materials that are easy to clean and maintain are used to cope with dirt that may occur in children and teenagers.
Overall, although PVC placemats are advantageous in many ways, TPU placemats may be a more suitable choice due to their excellent environmental features and consideration for the safety of young children. Naturally, the final choice is still to be determined according to the actual needs and preferences of the family.
