All You Want to Know About TPE Sex Dolls

 When you buy sex dolls, you must have heard of TPE sex dolls. Next, let’s learn all You Need to Know About TPE Sex Dolls.

 

All You Want to Know About TPE Sex Dolls

 

1.What is TPE?

TPE, named Thermoplastic elastomer in English, is a kind of soft rubber material which can be processed by a general thermoplastic forming machine. TPE appearance is TPE color, black, translucent or transparent round particles. TPE materials can be processed by injection, extrusion, blow moulding, salivation and pouring. TPE has the characteristics of high elasticity, high strength, high resilience and injection moulding.

 

Environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, wide hardness range, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, excellent processing performance, without vulcanization, can be recycled to reduce costs. It can be used for secondary injection moulding, coating and bonding with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other matrix materials, and can also be formed separately.

 

So TPE is often used as skin material for sex dolls.

 

 

2.TPE VS Silica gel

When it comes to TPE, we have to talk about silica gel, another material widely used in the skin of sex dolls.

 

Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of silica gel and TPE.

 

The advantages of TPE：

It is an ideal material to replace silica gel because it can recycle and save energy effectively.

It has stable properties, good temperature resistance (use temperature range – 50 – 100 C), aging resistance, chemical resistance and solvent resistance. Processing performance is superior.

Environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, with excellent coloring and soft touch. TPE material does not introduce heavy metals and toxic phthalate plasticizers in the production process, which meets the environmental protection test of ROHS, REACH, EN71, PAHS and FDA.

Energy saving. Most thermoplastic elastomers do not need curing or curing time is very short, the production efficiency is greatly improved, and the forming cycle is short. This can speed up the production of sex dolls.

It has the characteristics of high elasticity and injection moulding. Very close to the skin’s touch

 

The disadvantages of TPE:

Usually the temperature can not exceed 80 C.

TPE soft rubber dolls have a little gum or flavor added.

 

The advantages of Silica gel：

Silicone gel is harder than TPE, so it is stronger than TPE in reality. So now some manufacturers will use silicone gel to make facial skin of sex doll and TPE to make body of sex doll, so as to achieve a balance of reality and cost.

Silica gel dolls have high temperature resistance, low temperature, acid and alkali resistance. Except for highly corrosive products, silica gel dolls can hardly react with any substance. TPE soft rubber dolls are not heat-resistant and ageing-resistant as silica gel products. So silicone sex dolls can last longer.

 

The disadvantages of Silica gel：

The raw material price of silica gel doll is several times that of TPE soft gel doll.

Silicone dolls are easy to tear if they are not cared for properly.

 

 

3.Whether TPE is worth buying？

This is a question that many people have mentioned. You should consider the following factors：

 

If your budget is only $800-1500, you can buy TPE sex dolls. TPE dolls are more cost-effective, and silicone dolls cost at least $2500 or more.

If you are allergic to fragrances, then you’d better not buy TPE sex dolls, which may cause you to feel unwell.

If you have a high demand for realistic dolls, there is no doubt that silicone sex dolls are a better choice.
