Differences in pvc, tpe and xpe materials of car floor mats

At present, the automobile floor mat industry has become increasingly mature, and the raw materials used have also changed from the original xpe, eva and other materials to pvc materials, as well as the popular tpe materials in recent years. pvc and tpe have become the mainstream materials of automobile floor mats at present.

Common of PVC and TPE floor mats:

1. Both have high toughness, good durability and long service life. Both can be used for more than two to three years.

2. After the process is up to standard, it can be odor-free.

3. It is easy to wash and can be dried quickly after washing with water gun.

Differences of PVC and TPE floor mats:

PVC: PVC itself is non-toxic, but the plasticizer, antioxidant and other main auxiliary materials added during processing are toxic, and formaldehyde and other harmful substances will be decomposed under high temperature. When the temperature is high in summer, the poor quality PVC floor mats will produce serious odor.

TPE: TPE has good weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, excellent processing performance, no need to vulcanize, no need to add plasticizer, can be recycled to reduce costs, and can also be used for secondary injection molding. Because of its high temperature resistance and no additives, it will not emit peculiar smell in summer.

Comparison between PVC and TPE

Compared with the defects in the processing of PVC, TPE is more suitable for use in high temperature environment in summer, and is also more suitable for families with pregnant women and infants. After all, health problems cannot be underestimated. However, the disadvantages of TPE are the high requirements of injection molding process, the difficulty of mold development, and the price of TPE raw materials is about one-third higher than that of PVC. Due to the development cost and other reasons, tpe floor mats are not as many as pvc floor mats on the market, and only a few manufacturers such as 3W in China choose all TPE materials for production.
