Application of TPU in baby safety bed rails

describe:

Application of Si-TPV in baby safety bed rails Baby safety bed rails are an important piece of equipment used to protect your baby’s safety. Traditional bed rails are usually made of metal or wooden materials, but they have some problems, such as small gaps and uneven surfaces, which may cause harm to the baby.

Detail

Baby safety bedrails made of Si-TPV materials can effectively solve these problems. First of all, Si-TPV has excellent wear resistance and can resist the friction and impact of the baby on the bed rail, providing better safety protection. At the same time, the softness and elasticity of the Si-TPV material make the surface of the bed rail smoother, reducing the risk of injury to the baby.

Application

Si-TPV as a new feel modifier & processing additive for thermoplastic elastomers or other polymers.It can be compounded to various elastomers, engineering, and general plastic; such as TPE, TPU, SEBS, PP, PE, COPE, and EVA to increase the flexibility, elasticity, and durability of these plastics.
While a highlight of plastic products made with blends of TPU and the SI-TPV additive is a silky-soft surface with a dry feel. This is precisely the type of surface that end users expect of products that they frequently touch or wear. With these feature ,It has extended the range of their applications.
In addition, The presence of Si-TPV Elastomeric Modifiers makes the process cost-effective as it reduces wastage due to expensive raw materials being discarded during processing.

Secondly, Si-TPV material has excellent water resistance and is easy to clean and disinfect. This is very important for crib rails as babies may spill food, secretions, etc. on the crib rails. Bed rails made of Si-TPV material can be cleaned more easily and have antibacterial properties to effectively prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition, Si-TPV material is an environmentally friendly material and does not contain harmful substances. This means that the baby safety bed rails made of Si-TPV will not release toxic substances during use and will not cause any harm to the baby’s health. To sum up, using Si-TPV materials to make baby safety bed rails can provide higher safety, ease of cleaning and comfort, giving parents greater peace of mind. Therefore, an application case of Si-TPV in the field of baby products is baby safety bed rails, which meet parents’ needs for baby safety through high-quality materials and design.

A novel pathway for manufactured thermoplastic elastomers or other polymers!
SILIKE Si-TPV Series thermoplastic elastomer is a dynamic vulcanized thermoplastic silicone-based elastomer made by special compatible technology to help silicone rubber dispersed in TPO evenly as 2~3 micron particles under a microscope. Those unique materials combine the strength, toughness, and abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic elastomer with desirable properties of silicone: softness, silky feel, UV light, and chemical resistance which can be recycled and reused in traditional manufacturing processes.
Si-TPV used as raw material directly, has been specifically developed for soft touch over-molding on wearable electronics, accessory cases for electronic devices, automotive, high-end TPE, and TPE wire industries ...
3. Thermal Stability Across a Wide Operating Range: TPEs have a broad operating temperature range, from low temperatures near the elastomer phase’s glass transition point to high temperatures approaching the thermoplastic phase’s melting point. However, maintaining stability and performance at both extremes of this range can be difficult.
Solution: Incorporating heat stabilizers, UV stabilizers, or anti-aging additives into TPE formulations can help extend the material’s operational life in harsh environments. For high-temperature applications, reinforcing agents like nanofillers or fiber reinforcements can be used to maintain the structural integrity of the TPE at elevated temperatures. Conversely, for low-temperature performance, the elastomer phase can be optimized to ensure flexibility and prevent brittleness at freezing temperatures.
4. Overcoming the Limitations of Styrene Block Copolymers: Styrene block copolymers (SBCs) are commonly used in TPE formulations for their softness and ease of processing. However, their softness can come at the expense of mechanical strength, making them less suitable for demanding applications.
Solution: A viable solution is to blend SBCs with other polymers that enhance their mechanical strength without significantly increasing hardness. Another approach is to utilize vulcanization techniques to toughen the elastomer phase while preserving a soft touch. In doing so, the TPE can retain its desirable softness while also offering improved mechanical properties, making it more versatile across a range of applications.
