塑料餐具厨具有很多,常见的有刀叉、碗、筷、砧板、餐碟、保鲜盒等等,目前部分此类产品使用TPE材料生产制造而成。对此,有许多消费者会产生这样的一个想法:TPE做的塑胶餐具、厨具,是否会对人体有害,与硅胶材质的相比有什么区别。

There are a lot of plastic tableware and kitchenware, including knives and forks, bowls, chopsticks, cutting boards, dishes, fresh boxes, etc. at present, some of these products are made of TPE materials. In this regard, many consumers will come up with the idea of whether the plastic tableware and kitchenware made by TPE will be harmful to human body and what's the difference between TPE and silicone.

先回答靠前个问题。TPE是的非标软胶材料,用于生产餐具以及厨具的是食品级材料。食品级材料是需要经过许多测试标准才能用于生产的,比如ROHS、REACH测试、3%醋酸测试、VOC挥发物测试标准以及50%酒精测试。对于这些测试,TPE材料是可以通过的,此外材料加工过程中不添加有毒助剂,不含双酚A等毒性化学物质。

Answer the first question first. TPE is a green non-standard soft rubber material, which is used to produce tableware and kitchenware. Food grade materials need to go through many test standards before they can be used in production, such as RoHS, reach test, 3% acetic acid test, VOC volatiles test standard and 50% alcohol test. For these tests, TPE materials can pass. In addition, no toxic additives and bisphenol A are added in the process of material processing.

上述说明TPE材料能够用于塑胶厨具餐具的生产,但这里要补充一点的是,TPE制品不能用于耐温120℃以上环境以及接触油性物质。也就是说,烤箱、微波炉是无法用来加热TPE制品的,会引发制品本身材料分子结构的不稳定,也就是分子物质挥发。这样的一个局限性,使得此款材料一般用于砧板、菜盆、筷子、婴儿勺、冰格、铲子等产品。这类产品可以用沸水消毒,无需担心安全问题,不会对人体有害,因此可以放心使用。

The above shows that TPE materials can be used in the production of plastic kitchenware and tableware, but it should be added that TPE products can not be used in the environment with temperature resistance above 120 ℃ or in contact with oily substances. In other words, the oven and microwave oven can not be used to heat TPE products, which will cause the instability of the molecular structure of the product itself, that is, the volatilization of molecular substances. Such a limitation makes this material generally used for products such as chopping board, vegetable basin, chopsticks, baby spoon, ice lattice, shovel, etc. This kind of product can be disinfected with boiling water, without safety concerns, and will not be harmful to human body, so it can be used safely.

接下来回答第二个问题,TPE与硅胶材质相比有什么区别。共同点即是两者都为食品级材料,都能用于厨具餐具的生产。区别点例举如下:

Next answer the second question, what is the difference between TPE and silica gel. First of all, they are both food grade materials, which can be used in the production of kitchenware and tableware. The differences are as follows:

①硅胶是耐高温材料,可耐高温250℃,也就是微波炉能够加热盛放了食品的硅胶容器,这一点TPE暂时无法做到;

① silica gel is a high temperature resistant material, which can withstand high temperature of 250 ℃, that is to say, the microwave oven can heat the silica gel container containing food, which TPE can't do temporarily;

②硅胶可以通过FDA正己烷以及LFGB橄榄油测试,制成的餐具可接触油性物质,这一点TPE也暂时无法做到;

② silica gel can be tested by FDA n-hexane and lfgb olive oil, and the tableware can be contacted with oily substances, which TPE can not do temporarily;

③TPE能够优于硅胶的地方,目前大致只有TPE加工成型效率高于硅胶,原料价格也相对低廉一些,材料也可回收,而硅胶由于硫化以及其他原因,无法再次利用。

③ where TPE is superior to silica gel, at present, only TPE processing efficiency is higher than silica gel, the raw material price is relatively low, and the material can also be recycled, while silica gel can not be reused due to vulcanization and other reasons.

以上就是对于两个问题的解答,如果厂商需要生产耐高温的餐具和厨具,则使用硅胶材料;如果生产不需要经常加热的制品,可以考虑使用TPE原料生产,两者各有优劣。至于消费者,也同样如此。

The above is the answer to the two questions. If the manufacturer needs to produce high-temperature tableware and kitchenware, the silica gel material should be used; if the product does not need to be heated frequently, TPE raw material can be used for production, with advantages and disadvantages. As for consumers, the same is true.
