TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is widely used in the manufacturing of adult products due to its excellent softness, eco-friendliness, and lifelike tactile properties. Below are the types of adult products suitable for TPE material and their characteristics:
1. Female Pleasure Products
Vibrating rings, bows, and accessories: Typically made with TPE material at a hardness of 0~8 Shore A, formed via injection molding, offering a soft touch and high transparency.
Dildos: With a hardness range of 10~20 Shore A, injection-molded to simulate the feel of real skin.
2. Male Pleasure Products
Ultra-soft products: Made with TPE material below 0 Shore A (e.g., 00, 000, or C-scale hardness), suitable for injection or pouring molding, ideal for highly realistic products.
3. Realistic Genital Replicas & Inflatable Dolls
Extra-soft TPE material: Extremely low hardness, easily shaped, commonly used for female genital replicas or inflatable dolls. These products are typically made via pouring or casting and dyed to resemble human skin, providing an exceptional tactile experience.
4. High-End Pleasure Toys
Transparent or high-gloss products: TPE material can be adjusted for transparency, making it suitable for premium toys like clear vibrators or suction-cup products.
Anti-yellowing products: Modified SEBS-based TPE offers better yellowing resistance and tensile strength than traditional TPR, ideal for long-term use.
5. AI Bionic Robot Skin
In recent years, TPE has been used in bionic robot shells or companion robot skin due to its soft, elastic, and temperature-sensitive properties, enhancing realistic touch.
Advantages of TPE Material
Eco-friendly & safe: Free from phthalates, halogens, PAHs, and other harmful substances, complying with international safety standards.
Lifelike touch: Adjustable hardness to mimic human skin for a comfortable experience.
Versatile processing: Supports injection, pouring, and other molding methods for diverse product needs.
Limitations
Bubble formation: May occur during injection or pouring, affecting appearance.
Limited heat resistance: Physical properties may degrade under high temperatures, unsuitable for prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
In summary, TPE material has become a mainstream choice in the adult product industry due to its superior softness, safety, and processing flexibility—especially for products requiring highly realistic tactile sensations.
