Say goodbye to hard plastic: Is the TPE thermoplastic elastomer acupressure board just the right hardness and softness?

The hardness and softness of the TPE thermoplastic elastomer acupressure board are derived from the unique properties and scientific design of the material itself, so it can find a balance between massage effect and comfortable experience. However, people have a stereotype that acupressure boards "only cause pain". The emergence of TPE thermoplastic elastomer acupressure boards may break our perception. Then, let's explore the principle with the editor of Huizhou Zhongsuwang!

1. TPE thermoplastic elastomer: the innate advantage of soft and hard balance

TPE thermoplastic elastomer is a polymer material between rubber and plastic, with both the elasticity of rubber and the plasticity of plastic. Its unique molecular chain structure gives the acupressure board good rebound performance, and it can quickly return to its original state after stepping on it. By adjusting the ratio of rubber to plastic, the hardness range of TPE can be flexibly adjusted between Shore A 20-90 degrees, which can be "soft but not collapsed", providing comfortable cushioning for the soles of the feet, and can also achieve "hard but not stiff", ensuring the massage effect.

2. Customization on demand: hardness and softness design adapted to multiple scenarios

The hardness and softness of TPE acupressure pads are not fixed, but are precisely designed according to the usage scenarios. The hardness of fitness and sports models is usually Shore A 60-85 degrees. The convex points are combined with higher hardness to strengthen the stimulation of the acupoints on the soles of the feet, while ensuring the ability to resist deformation; the hardness of daily massage and relaxation models is about Shore A 30-50 degrees, with a soft touch, suitable for the elderly and children, and not easy to get tired after long-term use. For special needs such as pregnant women and rehabilitation training, the hardness and softness will be further optimized to take into account safety and effect.

3. Compared with traditional materials: Advantages of TPE thermoplastic elastomer

Compared with traditional hard plastic and pure rubber acupressure pads, TPE material has obvious advantages. Traditional hard plastic acupressure pads are hard and brittle, and pure rubber acupressure pads are prone to collapse and lose elasticity. TPE acupressure pads are moderately soft and hard, which can provide effective massage and ensure a comfortable experience. At the same time, the thermoplastic elastomer TPE acupressure board is durable and suitable for a wider range of people. Whether it is fitness, daily massage or special needs, it can be easily competent.

When we purchase TPE thermoplastic elastomer acupressure board products, we can check the Shore hardness value marked on the product, or perform pinching and trial testing. High-quality TPE acupressure boards will rebound slowly when pressed, and light pressure during trial stepping will be irritating but not painful. Jumping and landing are cushioned and there is no obvious depression. Only such products can take into account both comfort and massage effects.

If everyone pursues the balance of "effective massage + comfortable experience" or needs a multi-functional acupressure board that can be used by the whole family, TPE thermoplastic elastomer is indeed a cost-effective choice at present.
