Water is the source of life, and water bottles are important tools for us to have intimate contact with water. Among various materials of water bottles, water bottles are highly favored for their convenience and wide applicability. However, when we drink water from plastic bottles every day, have we ever considered the potential impact our health?
So, is it safe to drink water from plastic bottles? And how should we choose and use plastic water bottles to ensure our health? To answer questions, let us take a look at three common types of plastic materials: PP, PC, and Tritan.
☼ PC material:
A PC material water bottle is a common type of water bottle. It is made of polycarbonate.
①PC material has excellent transparency, allowing you to clearly see the liquid in the bottle. This material's water bottle is sturdy and durable, able withstand certain external impacts, and is not easy to break.
②PC material also has good heat resistance, capable of withstanding high temperatures, allowing you to enjoy cool drinks anytime even in hot weather
However, it is worth noting that PC material may release bisphenol A at high temperatures, which poses certain potential health risks. Therefore, when a PC water bottle, it is important to avoid filling it with overly hot liquids and not to use it for extended periods. Nonetheless, PC water bottles still have application value and convenience in daily life.
Of course, there is no problem with a PC material bottle holding cold water.
☼ PP material:
PP material is polypropylene, which has been tested and found not to contain bisphenol A. PP material has a higher temperature resistance than material and is the only plastic material that can be placed in the microwave.
①PP material also has good heat resistance and can withstand certain high temperatures, making it suitable for holding hot water.
②Moreover, it has good chemical stability and is unlikely to react with liquids, ensuring the safety and original taste of beverages.
③ In terms of appearance design, PP material water bottles also have a large space for creativity, and can be made into various fashionable and beautiful styles
However, it is important to avoid prolonged sun exposure and contact with strong acids or bases when using it. Overall, PP water bottles can hold hot and are a practical and reliable choice that brings convenience to our daily lives.
☼ tritan material：
Tritan material is a new generation of copolyester, and the new generation of Tritan is a new generation of special materials, so performance of Tritan water bottles is obviously superior to that of PP water bottles and PC water bottles.
①Tritan has a low density, good transparency, a crystal-like luster, so Tritan water bottles are very transparent and as clear as glass.
② Moreover, Tritan water bottles can be cleaned and disinfected with various detergents, and they are completely resistant to corrosion
Because of the superior performance of Tritan, its price is higher than that of PC and PP. However, this kind of water bottle has a high cost-performance ratio, is safe and reliable, and in order to ensure the health of babies, many mothers still choose Tritan water bottles.
☼PP material water bottle processing aid:
Zhongmai lubricant calcium stearate:
(Note: The addition amount is approximately between 0.1% and 0.3%)
Function:
1. Improve the processing performance of PP materials, making them smoother in processes such as injection molding, and reducing processing resistance.
2. Helps the product to demold, making the water bottle easier to remove from the mold, maintaining a better appearance.
3. Make other additives disperse better in PP, improving the uniformity and stability of the material.
