Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers: Rituals in life, coasters and placemats are a must

Want to create a comfortable home life, the sense of life rituals can not be missing, such as the dining environment of the placemats and other soft decorations for the mood of the diners is particularly important, and the selection of appropriate and high-quality placemats can also effectively protect the table, that which kind of placemats more in line with the needs of consumers? Types of placemats:

1. Cotton linen placemats

Cotton placemats are highly absorbent and easy to clean. Hemp material made of placemats, the use of a long time, but also can prevent insects and moths. From the insulation effect of cotton placemats is better than hemp placemats, from the point of view of durability hemp placemats better. However, it is easy to hide dirt and bacteria, and it is also troublesome to clean up.

2. bamboo placemats

Cotton placemats, although the heat insulation effect is good, but the heat insulation time is relatively short, while the bamboo material made of placemats, heat insulation is the best, can effectively prevent the hotter items on the table damage.3. wooden placemats

Wooden placemats, although the colour and type of slightly monotonous, but it is more practical, longer service life.

4. Plastic placemats

Environmentally friendly PP placemats, EVA placemats, as well as plastic placemats made of PVC plastic is more popular, lightweight and environmentally friendly, novel style, and suitable for printing a variety of patterns on the surface.

Si-TPV is an innovative Silicone Elastomers with Silicone Combine TPU developed by Thermoplastic Vulcanizate Manufacturer and Silicone Elastomer Manufacturers SILIKE.

Compared to PVC, most soft TPUs and TPEs, Si-TPV Thermoplastic Silicone Elastomer uses Soft Slip Coating Technology to provide a unique, silky, skin-friendly, water-repellent, anti-bacterial, stain-resistant and easy-to-clean texture that remains intact over time. Si-TPV is an excellent Non-Sticky Thermoplastic Elastomer as it is an environmentally friendly Zero Benzene Dicarboxylate (ZBD) free elastomer, which is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-allergenic to the skin and 100% recyclable.

Main functions of Si-TPV placemats:

1. Protect the table cloth: Si-TPV material has Innovative Soft Slip Technology, which avoids scratches on the table top or tablecloth in daily use due to the hardness of the material. It is stain-resistant, easy to clean, waterproof and anti-bacterial, which can protect the tablecloth from grease, stains and mildew, especially for cotton tablecloths, the use of Si-TPV placemats can completely avoid the trouble of not being easy to clean, and the placemats are easy to replace and easy to take care of.

2.Soundproofing and heat insulation: The soft elasticity of Si-TPV Soft Elastic Material can provide good sound insulation when used as table mats, and has a good thermal insulation effect, wear resistance and scratch resistance is better than traditional TPU and other materials, which can prevent the table from being scalded or scratched by tableware.

3. Slip-resistant and shock-absorbing: Si-TPV material can be regarded as a kind of Slip-Resistant Tpu with better performance, another effect of Si-TPV placemat is that it has the function of slip-resistant and shock-absorbing, which can prevent tableware from slipping randomly, and reduce the accidents of tableware falling, breaking, and so on.

4. Safe and non-toxic: Si-TPV Sustainable Elastomeric Materials is Non-Phthalate Thermoplastic Elastomers and Safe Sustainable Soft Alternative Material. it is free of plasticisers and Softening oil, no odour, non-allergenic, passed FDA and GB food safety test, and will not release harmful substances in daily use, harmless to the environment and human body.

5. More colour choices and greater design freedom: Si-TPV material has good colour saturation and colour fastness, and can give the table runner a high-level matte texture, which allows the table runner designer to have more colour and design choices and freedom.
