Tpe, also known as synthetic rubber, is a kind of thermoplastic elastic polymer material, which has the characteristics of tasteless, non-toxic and comfortable feel. It is a new type of environmental protection material and is called the third generation rubber. In addition, tpe gloves are relatively safe in the manufacturing process, and generally no harmful substances such as plasticizers and phthalates are added. For example, pvc gloves, which are very common in the market, are found to contain toxic substances such as phthalates and DINP in Europe and America, so tpe materials are safer in safety.
At present, there are two kinds of disposable tpe gloves on the market: medical gloves and kitchen gloves. Most of the disposable tpe gloves used in the kitchen are food-grade, so it is natural to use them to take and handle food. Some talcum powder may be added to the surface of medical tpe gloves, so it is not recommended to use medical tpe gloves to treat food.
In addition, although tpe is an environmentally friendly material, it is generally not resistant to high temperature, and the highest heat-resistant temperature is about 80 degrees Celsius. Therefore, attention should be paid to avoid high temperature environment when using tpe disposable gloves.
