What materials are used to make physical dolls, and which type of material is good for physical dolls?

Generally, physical dolls are composed of silicone and metal bones. Another type is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which has better durability, strength, and softness than silicone. The material of their dolls is TPE.

There are two types of materials currently used for making physical dolls

The first type is TPE material, which is called thermoplastic elastomer in Chinese. From the name, it can be seen that this material needs to be heated to complete and is a highly elastic material. This material is now widely used by manufacturers, and its market share is relatively high. Adonis also uses this material. These manufacturers require very strict qualifications to use these materials, such as testing reports, product quality assurance certificates, and anti-counterfeiting systems. This material also has a great function of being recyclable and renewable, which contributes to the cause of environmental protection. If this material is not handled properly, the finished product will have a strong odor, similar to a fragrance, which can be pungent. These are some unqualified products. He also has a great advantage that the repair method is very simple and leaves no trace. This can make the doll long-lasting and durable.

The second material is silicone

The molding method of silicone is additive molding, which is a mixture of two materials, a+b, and does not require heating. It can be molded at room temperature, but there are some drawbacks, such as obvious repair marks, obvious mold lines, and lack of durability, which cannot withstand long-term tearing. However, silicone is widely used and can be seen in many places. It is also one of the earliest materials recognized by people.
