What material is good for children's crawling mat

Crawling is an indispensable part of a child's growth process. Crawling is very important for the baby's physical health. When the baby starts to crawl, parents need to create a good environment for the baby. Usually, crawling mats can create better conditions for the baby. However, there are many types and materials of crawling mats sold on the market. Most parents don't know much about crawling mats. What material is better?

What material is good for children's crawling mat?

Currently, the materials of crawling mats on the market are mainly divided into three types: xpe material, pvc material and epe material. Xpe refers to chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam material, which is made by continuous foaming of low-density polyethylene resin, cross-linking agent and foaming agent at high temperature; the corresponding one is epe, that is, physical foamed polyethylene, commonly known as pearl cotton; pvc is a thermoplastic resin formed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride under the action of an initiator.

First is XPE. XPE material (roll) is a high-grade closed-cell foam material made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) as the main raw materials, with the addition of various chemical raw materials such as foaming agent AC, mixed, processed and formed, irradiated with high-energy electron beams generated by industrial electron accelerators, and then produced through a series of processing techniques such as foaming, shaping and post-processing. Compared with other types of foam materials: it has many excellent properties such as fine and uniform pores, strong and tough, good heat insulation and sound insulation, high corrosion resistance, good resilience, low water absorption, and comfortable feel. In line with its performance, it can be widely used in air conditioning and refrigeration industry, packaging industry, agriculture, sporting goods, entertainment and daily life.

EVA resin itself is non-toxic and is an environmentally friendly material. Crawling mats made of this material are non-toxic and harmless if they are directly foamed without adding other toxic additives. But now some companies are not formal and use recycled materials to produce EVA floor mats. The main ingredients have changed. It is not just EVA anymore, but also contains many other plastics. Therefore, this smell is very bad for children!!! Basically, you should smell it when purchasing, and it is best not to buy those with smell.

Finally, there is EPE cotton. This is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging and filling material with many advantages such as waterproof and moisture-proof, shockproof, soundproof, heat-insulating, good plasticity, strong toughness, recyclable, environmentally friendly, and strong impact resistance. It is an ideal substitute for traditional packaging materials. It can be used for inner packaging of wine, melons and fruits, and is obviously non-toxic.

When parents are purchasing, as long as they are produced by regular manufacturers, these three materials can be used with confidence, and the specific one to choose can be based on their actual needs.
