Can TPR materials be harmful to the body?

TPR materials are usually not harmful to the body when produced in compliance with standards and do not contain highly toxic or risky chemicals themselves, but this does not mean that all TPR materials are safe and harmless.

1.The main components of TPR materials

The safety of TPR materials mainly depends on its composition, the properties of this material is a thermoplastic rubber material, its main component is thermoplastic body styrene-butadiene rubber, but also added resins, fillers, etc., but if the stabilizers and pigments added during the production process are excessive or improper use, it will still pose a certain threat to human health.

2.Safety assessment of TPR materials

Qualified production of TPR materials will be certified by ROHS, REACH, its lead, cadmium and other heavy metals will be controlled at less than 100ppm, in line with daily consumer standards. When TPR materials are used in food contact products, such as baby pacifiers, toys, lunch boxes, etc., its safety standards will become more stringent, food-grade standards of TPR materials, can ensure that in contact with food will not migrate to the food of harmful substances.

3. Matters that should be noted when using

TPR material is also safe and the use of the environment has a great deal to do with the environment, in the high temperature environment this material may be degraded, thus releasing some small molecules of the object, if the human body is inadvertently inhaled will be hazardous to human health, therefore, to avoid the use of TPR tableware holding high temperature grease type of food.

Discriminate TPR material in the end safe or not, to consider a variety of factors, it is recommended that we buy TPR products to pay attention to whether there is safety certification information, choose a reliable quality of the regular brand, but also to be used properly and regularly to carry out maintenance, so as to better protect our own health.
