News - Si-TPV silicone-based thermoplastic elastomers: a revolution in children's bouncy castle materials

Bouncy castle is a kind of inflatable amusement equipment with the appearance of castle shape, containing slides and various cartoon shapes, supplying children's amusement, also known as children's castle, inflatable trampoline, naughty castle, etc. It is made of soft double-mesh double-sided sandwich mesh PVC fabric, which is sealed and continuously supplied with air by the fan. It is made of soft double mesh and double sided PVC fabrics, and the shape of the product is maintained by the constant supply of air through the fan under the sealed condition. The large bouncy castle amusement park is designed according to children's characteristics, it has safety, comprehensive, ornamental, novelty, bright colours, durable through the scientific three-dimensional combination. Children through turning, rolling, climbing, shaking, shaking, jumping, drilling and other activities, to achieve the development of intelligence, physical exercise, physical and mental pleasure.

However, there are many different materials to choose from when it comes to manufacturing and designing bouncy castles. For example, the common nylon, oxford cloth, rubber and so on.

Bouncy castle materials, you can have these choices:

1. PVC material

PVC material is one of the most common bouncy castle materials. It is a plastic made up of polyvinyl chloride, which has the advantages of abrasion resistance, tear resistance and chemical resistance.PVC material can withstand extreme temperatures, and it can breathe at higher temperatures, thus avoiding rupture or deformation due to high temperatures.PVC material is also relatively easy to clean and can be washed to clean the surface, which eliminates the need for a more tedious cleaning process.

2. Nylon material

Nylon material is a highly durable bouncy castle material which consists of fibre filaments covered with a unique plastic coating. Compared with PVC material, nylon material is more likely to be waterproof. It also has the property of UV protection, which can effectively reduce aging and damage under strong light.

3. Oxford cloth material

Oxford cloth material is a kind of lightweight, soft, breathable advantages. It is a highly wear-resistant material that can better resist wear and tear and abrasion cracks. Oxford cloth material also has good tensile strength.

4. Acrylic material

Acrylic material is a more economical option with a relatively low price tag. It is lighter than PVC material and is easy to handle and assemble. Acrylic material is equally waterproof and abrasion resistant. However, due to its relatively low price and lightweight, it will be more prone to wear and tear easily.

5. Rubber Materials

Rubber material is usually used for bouncy castles that require particularly high strength. It has very good elasticity, durability, and resistance to acids and alkalis. This material can maintain its shape and strength in extreme temperatures and can be adapted to more stringent external environments.

In addition, there is the latest innovation in plasticiser-free, softness and flexibility of elastomers, Silicone based thermoplastic elastomer - Si-TPV.

Generally, bouncy castles are designed to be durable, waterproof and flexible, so they are often made from high quality materials that can withstand the rigours of water sports, or the wear and tear of other play activities.

Si-TPV silicone-based thermoplastic elastomer is a skin safety comfortable waterproof material, long-term silky skin-friendly comfort soft touch Materials, Dirt-Resistant thermoplastic vulcanizate Elastomers Innovations and Non-Sticky thermoplastic elastomer, which is lightweight, soft and flexible, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, comfortable and durable, as well as very good abrasion resistance and long-lasting skin-friendly touch. It is also resistant to chlorine and other chemicals found in swimming pools, making it an ideal sustainable bouncy castle alternative.
