First. Is the material of the physical doll tpe good or silica gel good?
The material of the entity doll is generally divided into: silicone and TPE.
Silica gel: also called silicone rubber. It is a highly active adsorption material and is an amorphous substance. It is insoluble in water and any solvents, non-toxic, tasteless, chemically stable, and will not react with any substances except strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid, and has high mechanical strength and flexibility. However, silica gel has poor softness so it is generally harder, and has poor tensile properties, repair costs, and high manufacturing costs, which naturally leads to generally higher prices.
TPE: It is a kind of thermoplastic elastomer material, with high strength, high resilience, injection molding process characteristics, a wide range of applications, environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, and excellent coloring. It has soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, and superior processing performance. It can be molded by two-shot injection molding or separately molded"; TPE material is more cost-effective and has a good experience. But inferior TPE products include Taste, long-term use will affect the human body, and it will cause oily and sticky hands.
Both silicone dolls and TPE dolls have their own advantages and disadvantages. If economic conditions permit, try to choose silicone dolls. If you want to choose TPE entity dolls, try to choose products from well-known brands. The price is relatively high, but the quality is better and it is comfortable to use.
Second, the difference between TPE and silicone entity dolls
1. Distinguish from the feel
Silicone dolls generally feel slightly hard, while TPE soft dolls are very soft. Of course, silicone dolls can also be made quite soft, but the cost will increase a lot, so at present, domestic baby factories will make them with O degree, which can be pinched, but they are harder than TPE soft dolls.
2. Distinguish from texture
The detail performance of silicone dolls is better than that of TPE soft dolls, because the material is slightly harder, the performance will be better. Some artificial handprints and details can only be expressed by silicone dolls, and TPE soft dolls do not perform well.
3. Distinguish from the pulling force
According to different formulas, silicone dolls can stretch three to five times, while TPE soft dolls can stretch six to eight times. Therefore, TPE soft rubber has better pulling force and more extreme movements; silicone dolls are easy to tear if they are improperly treated.
4. Distinguish from weight
A silicone doll with the same volume will be heavier than a soft TPE doll. The specific weight depends on the manufacturer's craftsmanship and liner level.
5. Distinguish from price
The raw material price of silicone dolls is several times that of TPE soft dolls; silicone dolls are correspondingly more expensive than TPE soft dolls. TPE soft rubber dolls can start with a body size of 5,000 to 8,000; while silicone dolls are generally between 10,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan.
6. Distinguish from durability
Silicone dolls are resistant to high temperature, low temperature, acid and alkali; except for highly corrosive items, silicone dolls can hardly react with any substance. TPE soft rubber dolls are not resistant to high temperatures and anti-aging is not as good as silicone products.
7. Distinguish from smell
Silicone dolls have absolutely no smell; TPE soft dolls will more or less smell of glue or added fragrance. If the doll smells very good, it is recommended not to start; because there are cases of allergies to fragrances.
8. How to distinguish
Burning with fire is the easiest way to distinguish. Silica gel emits white smoke when it is fired, forming off-white ash; when TPE soft rubber is fired, it emits black smoke like plastic, forming a black oily residue.
