I believe that everyone can distinguish between inflatable dolls and sex dolls. Some people refer to solid dolls as silicone dolls. However, most of the simulated dolls on the market are not made of silica gel, but TPE is used as raw material. Let’s take a look at what science is TPE, and hope that everyone can get up.
TPE is also called thermoplastic elastomer, and it is a polymer material that is the most common rubber and plastic in life. TPE has the dual characteristics of rubber and plastic and has its own advantages. It is widely used in adult sex toys. In addition to artificial body dolls, there are many kinds of raw materials such as aircraft cups, artificial human body molds, vibrating stick massage sticks, and simulation DD. TPE used.
Some people may ask, why do we call silica gel as a raw material? That’s because silicone is actually harder to touch, and the cost of silicone is several times higher than TPE. Therefore, when the simulation doll was first introduced, the price would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, because at that time it was made of silica gel, and the price of the physical doll now dropped sharply.
Of course, silica gel has some advantages over TPE, such as durability, plasticity in product details, etc., so some doll manufacturers still insist on using silica gel as raw material.
The following is a professional introduction to the chemical industry of TPE:
TPE was born about 35 years ago and is quite attractive as an alternative to rubber elastomers. TPE can be processed by thermoplastic processing machinery, which is a simple and energy-saving polymer material compared with vulcanized rubber.
Rubber and plastics have an extremely important position in the rubber and plastics industry. As the third polymeric material (thermoplastic elastomer TPE), it has gradually become the most attractive rubber elastomer material in the industry.
TPE elastomers are also known as elastomers or synthetic rubbers. TPE elastomer not only has the excellent functions of high elasticity, aging resistance and oil resistance of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber, but also has the characteristics of convenient processing and wide processing mode. It can be produced by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and other processing methods. At present, the thermoelastic TPE material has become the latest material to replace the traditional rubber. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, comfortable to the touch and exquisite in appearance, making the product more creative. Therefore, it is also a new type of synthetic material with more humanization and high taste. It is also a world standard environmental protection material.
TPE does not need to be heat vulcanized, and the production of the product can be completed by using general plastic processing equipment, which can shorten the production process of the rubber industry by 1/4, save energy by 25%-40%, and improve efficiency by nearly 10 times-20 times. In addition, due to its easy recycling, strong self-compensation performance, and simplified formula, it has become a hot darling in the rubber and plastics industry. In addition to being used as raw materials for adult sex toys, it is also widely used in automotive, electrical and electronics, construction, medical, etc. field.
TPE, which is in the limelight, has many obvious advantages over rubber and plastics, but whether its performance and durability can withstand the time, whether it is environmentally friendly during processing and use, whether there is any public hazard, etc. It is a technical issue that must be faced by international and domestic circles and needs further improvement.
The main features of its TPE materials are: 1. Environmental protection, non-toxic, non-polluting (with non-toxic certification); 2. No vulcanization, simple processing; 3. Good resistance to low temperature and high temperature; 4. Soft-touch, surface quality temperature; 5, a wide range of hardness: 0A-100A; 6, nozzle material, trim can be recycled, environmental protection.
