Time of issue:2025-07-23
Nowadays, there are too many types of products made of TPE materials in daily life. They not only enrich people's lives, provide convenience for people's lives, but also enrich the entire material market and drive the prosperity of the material market.
Is there a difference between high-quality and low-quality TPE materials? In reality, when people face or choose TPE materials, they often do not know how to identify their quality, and may end up choosing inferior TPE materials. Now, SuBo will teach you to identify the quality of TPE materials through the following methods.
01 1. Smell the odor
The most common and simple way to distinguish the quality of TPE materials is by their odor. Since TPE materials themselves do not have some pungent odors or other unpleasant smells, they may even emit a fragrant smell when burned. However, many plastics will have some pungent odors when burned. Therefore, people can use this simple method when identifying TPE materials.
02 2. Observe the color
When TPE materials burn, the tail of the material will show a light blue color, which is relatively light and not too deep, and the flame is not too large. This is a characteristic that many materials do not have. So, we can simply identify the quality from the burning color. Therefore, when people buy TPE materials, they can identify them from this aspect.
03 3. Check the grade
People can not only identify the quality of TPE materials by observing the color and smell when they burn, but also use other methods. TPE materials here refer to those without added flame retardants. In this case, they will burn when exposed to fire and are not easy to extinguish. Therefore, people can also use this simple method for identification.
