Are you still using PVC table mats/pads? Did you know that PVC is classified as the worst plastic by environmental groups? From manufacturing to disposal, chlorine-containing PVC can produce dioxin and other poisons to the human body and the environment. In order to make PVC more elastic, plasticizers added will produce environmental hormones, which are also chemicals harmful to the human body. Such chemicals can disrupt human endocrine and cause cancer and changes in the immune and nervous systems. Because table mats are one of the stationery items that have been in contact with the human body for the longest time, they require stricter control. 🔍Material introduction🔍 📣PVC tips: Dangers of PVC 1. The harm of plasticizers Before PVC is made into various finished products, different contents of plasticizer need to be added according to the required softness of the product. Generally speaking, semi-rigid PVC needs to add 10-30% plasticizer, and soft PVC needs to add 30-70% plasticizer. For example, the average plasticizer content of medical supplies is 20%-40%. If it is like plastic wrap, intravenous drip tubes or intravenous bags, the plasticizer content can reach more than 70%, which is equivalent to PVC soaked in additives. There are many types of PVC plasticizers, but the most common type is a group of chemicals called phthalates. Among this group of chemicals, "diethylhexyl phthalate" "Ester" (DEHP) is used in the largest amount. DEHP is a reproductive and developmental toxin that has a great impact on the developing male reproductive system, which means that babies and children are much more threatened than adults. A dose that may have no effect on adults cannot be ignored on children; MEHP, the metabolite of DEHP, will poison the Sertoli cells of the testicles, causing cell abnormalities and harming fertility. In addition, DEHP may also cause blood clots and harm the liver and lungs. In addition to DEHP, other phthalates generally have effects on reproductive health, including reduced reproductive rates, miscarriage, birth defects, abnormal sperm counts, testicular damage, and liver and kidney cancer. PVC toys pose a great threat to the health of young children. This is because young children in the oral stage will directly eat plasticizers such as DEHP in PVC through licking toys. Therefore, many countries have banned PVC toys containing plasticizers such as DEHP, or even directly banned PVC toys, such as Germany. In January 2006, the European Union also issued a directive (2005/84/EC) banning the use of six phthalate plasticizers in toys, including DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP and DNOP. 2. Dangers of Stabilizers PVC is not resistant to light and heat. Under the influence of light and heat, it will release chlorine free radicals, causing material deterioration. Therefore, stabilizers need to be added to capture free radicals. Commonly used stabilizers include metal salts such as lead, cadmium, zinc, barium, and tin; these metals will leak out of PVC products and endanger human health. Among them, chronic or acute exposure to lead can cause neurological disorders in children and hinder their IQ development. Women will have reproductive problems and may cause cancer. Cadmium affects kidney function and may cause lung cancer. Many studies have confirmed that these heavy metals will leach from PVC products. For example, some studies have found that PVC toys can leak lead and cadmium (DiGangi 1997); PVC plastic blinds containing lead will eventually crack and release lead under long-term sunlight exposure, causing lead in the blood of children with PVC blinds at home. The concentration is higher. PVC water pipes with added lead will precipitate lead and cause drinking water pollution (DTI 1995). Organotin (such as dibutyltin) used to replace lead and cadmium is also toxic and will also leak from PVC products. Organotins can affect the central nervous system, skin, liver, immune system and reproductive system. For example, dibutyltin is a strong developmental toxin and teratogen; tributyltin can affect the nervous system and has been found to affect reproduction and development in animal experiments.

In recent years, TPE materials have been used in food packaging materials, kitchenware and tableware, medical, baby products, etc., so TPE materials are safe. TPE has anti-slip and wear-resistant effects. It has the following features: 1. Superior hand feel: high strength; high rebound; high flexibility; delicate and smooth; does not stick to dust 2. Superior performance: UV resistance; aging resistance; acid and alkali resistance; fatigue resistance. 3. Easy to process: good fluidity; light specific gravity; easy to color. 4. Green and environmentally friendly: meets FDA (n-hexane); LFGB (olive oil) testing standards. 5. Application areas: baby products; medical supplies; tableware; daily necessities; and other environmentally friendly plastic materials. 📣PP tips: PP material is polypropylene. It is a kind of resin. It is a linear polymer with high density, no side chains and high crystallinity. It has good comprehensive properties. The performance advantages of PP materials are reflected in their resistance to solvents, oils, and weak acids and alkalis. Owning other engineering plastics than not advantages. The processing temperature of PP material during production is about 180-240 degrees Celsius. Its chemical composition is still very stable at such high temperatures, so if it is made into a plastic cup, even boiling water or heating it at high temperature in a microwave oven will not cause PP There is a problem with the material product decomposing. Therefore, most of the current food products have PP as the main material of the container.
