What are the materials of table mats?
1, cotton
Cotton table mats have a strong absorbent quality, easy to clean, in the purchase, you can drop some drops of water on it, look at the speed of water absorption, absorbent fast, suggesting that the cotton composition is high, strong water absorption.
2, paper cloth
Paper cloth table runner is more environmentally friendly, made of environmentally friendly materials, heat insulation is good, even if the freshly baked meals can be placed on it. Will not damage the table, practical. But this table runner can not be cleaned with water, otherwise it will destroy its heat insulation.
In the face of this problem, we generally give the suggestion is transparent glass. Press on top of the table mat, both to solve the problem of care, but also to the maximum extent possible to maintain the original beauty of the tablecloth, but because of the safety and convenience of the glass, now we all use the so-called “soft glass” instead of soft glass usually refers to the PVC soft crystal plate.
People’s needs and perceptions are always changing, with everyone’s concern for environmental health, finally someone began to pay attention to the health and safety of table mats. Accompanied by PVC table mats neighboring benzene problems, heavy metals and other problems outbreak, PVC table mats itself appeared a self-innovation, at the same time, silicone, TPU and other new health and environmental protection materials began to appear, leading a table mat safety changes.
As a latecomer, silicone is often used in maternal and child products, is recognized as a healthy and environmentally friendly materials, so silicone table mats just out of the gate, will harvest a number of loyal supporters, but because of the characteristics of the silicone material itself, silicone table mats in the process of use is very easy to adsorption of dust, slightly cumbersome to take care of, and this point has eventually become an important reason for everyone to seek new possibilities.
Si-TPV Modified soft slip TPU granules/ Soft Touch Surface TPU/ TPU with Improved Frictional Properties/ TPU for Improved Handling is 100% post-consumer recyclable elastomer material. They are 100% post-consumer recyclable elastomers with high purity and excellent mechanical properties for everyday use in plastic injection molding, kit gluing, cable protection and roller preparation.

SILIKE Si-TPVs Overmolding can adhere to other materials through injection molding. suitable for insert molding and or multiple material molding. Multiple material molding is otherwise known as Multi-shot injection molding, Two-Shot Molding, or 2K molding.
Si-TPVs have excellent adhesion to a variety of thermoplastics, from polypropylene and polyethylene to all kinds of engineering plastics.
When selecting an Si-TPV for an over-molding application, the substrate type should be considered. Not all Si-TPVs will bond to all types of substrates.
