Differences between Science Popularization Simulation Dolls TPE Solid Dolls and Silicone Solid Dolls

Today, we plan to popularize science on the material issue of simulated dolls (physical dolls). This issue is very important and should be considered first when choosing dolls. It directly affects the viewing and usability of dolls. Why is it called a physical doll? The so-called entity is a doll's body, which is composed of bones and muscles. Currently, the bones on the market are mostly made of metal hollow tubes and metal joints. There are two types of materials for the muscles: silicone material and TPE material, and silicone dolls are also commonly known as silicone dolls. These two materials have many similarities, with a touch similar to human skin, strong plasticity, stable properties, and belong to the category of elastomers. Therefore, they are used in various fields such as medical, food, civil, and aerospace.

 

The price of silicone dolls on the market is over 10000 yuan, while the price of TPE dolls is only a few thousand yuan, indicating a significant difference between the two. The price difference between silicone and high-quality TPE in raw material prices is not particularly significant, with a price difference of only a few tens of yuan per kilogram. The main differences are process, labor costs, and production costs.

 

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) is a type of rubber with high elasticity, high strength, high resilience, and injection molding characteristics. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safe, with a wide range of hardness, excellent coloring properties, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance, and temperature resistance. It has superior processing performance, no need for vulcanization, can be recycled to reduce costs, and can be used for secondary injection molding, which is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safe, Has excellent coloring properties. At present, 80% of the world's adult products manufacturers' Sex toy are made of Tpe materials.

 

Please note that TPE can be recycled and reshaped twice, which can greatly reduce production costs. In the process of making dolls, there are a large number of defective products, which are all production costs. TPE can be thermoplastic, which is a very easy to process material. The later stages of the process can be completed on an assembly line, greatly reducing the production process. As a result, there are many manufacturers producing TPE dolls with high competition. In order to reduce costs, the quality of low-priced TPE dolls will inevitably be greatly discounted. When purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the possibility of 2 or even 3 materials. The difference is to see and smell. Reused TPE dolls have deep colors and a strong odor. These factors are all the reasons why TPE materials are cheap.

 

TPE and silicone are both elastomers, but TPE is thermoplastic and does not require vulcanization, and has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber. It can be said that TPE has the advantages of combining plastic and rubber. Therefore, TPE can achieve a Shore hardness several times lower than silicone, and the softness of silicone itself is far less than TPE. Therefore, TPE can freely arrange the density of the doll's body parts during injection molding. The lower the density, the softer it becomes, while the higher the density, the more elastic it becomes. TPE has higher tensile strength and high resilience than silicone, with an elongation of up to 400%. TPE dolls can perform a much greater range of movements than silicone dolls, such as legs that can be pressed against the chest, folded at approximately 180 degrees, and will not tear. But please remember that neither TPE nor silicone can be pulled for a long time, otherwise it will break.

 

The main component of silicone is silicon dioxide, which has stable chemical properties, strong adsorption ability, good biocompatibility, and is non irritating, non-toxic, and non allergic to human tissues; It has good physical and chemical properties and can maintain its original elasticity and softness during contact with gas and liquid, without degradation. It is a relatively stable inert substance that can withstand high temperatures, disinfect, facilitate processing and shaping, and has a smooth feel. The hardness of silicone can be adjusted from 0 degrees to 20 degrees, and the softness can be adjusted by adding silicone oil.

 

Silicone dolls on the market are high-end dolls. Due to their heat resistance and stability, they have a much longer lifespan than TPE dolls. The silicone production process is much more complex, with techniques such as inner lining and local softening. The body material of silicone dolls is not as soft as TPE dolls, but through softening techniques, they can be made softer than TPE dolls on the chest, buttocks, and inner thighs. Of course, the process is much more complex. In terms of painting, surface and body makeup can be more exquisite due to the material, making them less prone to peeling off. In terms of details, they are completely superior to TPE dolls. It can be said that there is no significant difference between the photos of silicone dolls and the actual product. The face makeup of Tpe dolls is much inferior, with almost no body makeup, so all sales photos have been processed by PS. When making a purchase, be sure to watch a video to confirm before making the purchase. Silicone has a high density, and at the same volume, silicone is definitely heavier than TPE. However, currently, the only dolls that can lose weight are silicone dolls. This depends on the fact that silicone dolls have an inner liner, which is very light and serves as the meat part. Silicone is only 2-3cm thick for the skin part, and the partially softened part can only be a few millimeters thick. Another advantage of high density is its strong shaping, which makes the skin appear more compact, and details such as body curves and skin texture are more pronounced. Silicone has stable properties, is not easy to dye, and has less oil leakage. It is greatly superior to TPE material in terms of ease of maintenance and care in the later stage. Tpe is easy to stain and can be easily dyed by dark clothing, especially black and dark blue. The oil output of Tpe is also much higher, and it is easy to adhere to dust, hair, etc. It requires frequent bathing and powdering, and maintenance is much more troublesome.

 

In summary, Tpe dolls are made of soft, tear resistant, elastic, easy to dye, variable in shape, easy to oil out, have a moderate lifespan, slightly inferior in body details and makeup painting, unable to implant hair, eyelashes, matte material, and are relatively inexpensive. Silicone doll: The material is soft and slightly less stretchable than TPE. It is not easy to dye, oil, deform, and has a long lifespan. It has good body curves and skin texture details, and can be coated. It can also be used for hair transplantation and eyelashes. The material is shiny and relatively expensive.
