The materials selection is an important stage in the development of toys and pet toys products and meets the different issues involved in the design process. The texture, the surface, and the colors directly influence the impressions that you have of the products, and these characteristics in materials that have them originally are directly linked to the comfort of handling.
Among the most used materials in the manufacture of toys and other consumer products are wood, polymers(polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, EVA, nylon), fibers (cotton, polyester, cardboard), and so on…
if done wrong, it can be harmful to the environment and users.
In recent years, the toy industry has seen a major shift in trends. With the rise of technology, toys have become increasingly interactive and educational.
Working with products aimed at children requires great care and understanding of how these use these increasingly electronic and complex objects where some simulate realism and interaction. The materials employed there must offer security and provide a pleasant feeling, where the child feels close and adults feel peaceful in letting them play without fear that an accident occurred. All these factors must be considered by the designer before the product goes to the market, in order to not allow a wrong and aggressive interaction between the product and the end user, and to better meet consumer expectations.
Moreover, the pet industry has been growing for years, As a pet owner, except in the pet toys market safe and sustainable materials that do not contain any hazardous substances while offering enhanced durability and aesthetics…
Bright solutions for you! aesthetics,skin-friendly, environmentally, soft touch over-molded, colorability on toys and consumer products. Don't contain any hazardous substances while offering enhanced durability from resistance to abrasion and stains. That soft over-molded material provides sustainable choices for an abundance of toys and consumer products. that is possible for application on such devices including children's toys, adult toys, pet toys,TPU Pets Belt,TPU Toys Belt,TPU Coated Webbing For Dog Collar ,TPU Coated Webbing For Dog Leash.

SILIKE Si-TPVs Overmolding can adhere to other materials through injection molding. suitable for insert molding and or multiple material molding. Multiple material molding is otherwise known as Multi-shot injection molding, Two-Shot Molding, or 2K molding.
SI-TPVs have excellent adhesion to a variety of thermoplastics, from polypropylene and polyethylene to all kinds of engineering plastics.
When selecting an Si-TPV for an over-molding application, the substrate type should be considered. Not all Si-TPVs will bond to all types of substrates.
