TPR and silica gel which material is good? Some people say whether it is edible food?

TPR and silica gel which material is good? Some people say whether it is edible food? Wrong, this is a plastic material, can not eat.

Some people ask whether it is a toy particle for children to play. The answer isn't either.

In fact, at the beginning, the editor was also dizzy. After a lot of hard thinking, I really don't know what it is and what it is. But later, I saw that the Zhongshan office of the company actually had customers looking for something like this. After some understanding, I finally got a general understanding. But it's also only about.

This particle, the material is SEBS based TPE elastomer. The SEBS compounding system is not simply blended and extruded into strand pellets. But need to go through the appropriate equipment process, in order to get a good product. The particles are light (specific gravity is about 0.6~0.8) and can float in water. The overall particle size is 2.5~3.5mm. More soft, with a certain degree of elasticity.

This is probably the basic nature of particles. Xiao Bian also asked Yang Sheng, head of Zhongshan Office, about the use of this stuff. Yang Sheng said that he was not very clear either. The customer may think it is a new thing in the market and does not want to disclose too much. He only requires the company to do OK according to his sample requirements. Although I don't know exactly the real use of this stuff, the sample was confirmed OK and the order was finally taken down smoothly.

But Xiaobian is not reconciled, so through the network, trying to find some clues, some clues. After a period of Internet search and market analysis, a preliminary conclusion is drawn that this kind of Dongdong may be applied to football fields (artificial) turf. The reason for adding such TPE particles to artificial turf may be based on the following considerations:

1. Since the turf is made of polymer wire drawing, quartz sand or TPE particles are needed to press the grass wire and stabilize the turf. Generally, quartz sand is used for the lower layer and TPE particles are used for the upper layer;

2. The artificial turf of the football field does not have soil, so that when the collision or fall, the human body is heavily stressed and easily injured. Adding highly elastic TPE colloidal particles can effectively simulate the feeling of soil and prevent some injuries caused by collision with the field;

3, the polymer wire drawing surface is much smoother than the real turf, especially when it rains, then adding rubber particles can provide greater friction and improve the performance of the turf.

However, regarding this kind of TPE particles, the author has heard another version (it should be published on the Internet by the author first, and the authenticity is questionable), saying that this kind of stuff is actually used in some countries and regions with relatively water shortage abroad., Used to spread on the surface of lakes or reservoirs), use its light weight to prevent or reduce the evaporation of water.

This latter argument also makes sense. But at present, according to some information disclosed by the market, the former statement is more reliable. The latter statement is undoubtedly more bizarre and unexpected, but in the absence of relevant supporting evidence, the reader cannot interpret it as a fact.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ugly, ordinary TPE particles would actually become an unstoppable emerging force of Green Shade Field materials. Although there is no evidence to confirm the claim that moisture volatilization can be reduced, readers have to deepen their understanding of TPE materials.

The above is just the tip of the iceberg of thermoplastic elastomer TPE applications. In fact, many times, readers may not think that in your daily life, TPE materials may have been in close contact with you for a long time, but you don't realize it. These products such as toothbrushes, razors, baby tubs, kitchenware cutting boards, yoga mats, fitness pullers, glasses, sex toys, soft rubber toys, carpets..., too many, too many to mention.

JEA Jiejia Plastic is the industry leader in all kinds of TPE material application solutions. If your new product is looking for a new TPE solution, I believe JEA's specialty will make your new product design possible and realistic.
