When choosing a baby bathtub, most mothers may consider whether it will irritate the baby's skin, thus affecting the baby's health, etc. Traditional baby bathtubs are made of PVC or PP materials with higher hardness. These two materials have relatively large defects, and are also gradually phased out by manufacturers and made of new environmentally friendly materials TPE. The following editor will introduce to you the advantages of using TPE materials to make baby bathtubs.
Let's explain the defects of PVC and PP:
PVC: Chlorine-containing hydrocarbons, the material itself is non-toxic, but some additives need to be added during the processing. These additives are toxic, so they cannot be used. The hardness of PVC cannot be as soft as TPE material. In short, if the baby bathtub is made of PVC material, it cannot be sterilized at high temperature, for fear of releasing irritating gas.
PP: Polypropylene plastic, can blow molding, injection molding, the price is also cheap. However, the hardness of the material is high, the baby bathtub made of it is not comfortable enough for the skin, and the material is also brittle.
Now the relatively high-end baby bathtubs on the market are generally foldable or directly integrated bathtubs, which are made of PP+TPE materials. The advantages of using a baby bathtub made of this lagging material are as follows:
1. TPE material can be overmolded with PP material, which is convenient for processing and production;
2. The TPE material is soft and has a wide range of hardness, which can be formulated to suit the baby's skin and soft and smooth;
3. TPE is easy to color, the design space of the bathtub is greatly improved, and the product has high aesthetics;
4. The material (TPE) itself has a certain anti-slip property, and the baby will not slip and fall in the bathtub;
5. The material is environmentally friendly. The material itself and the additives added during processing are non-toxic materials. The finished baby bathtub can be sterilized with boiling water, which is safe and secure to use.
