Both have their own advantages, but TPE is less expensive than silicone material in terms of processing performance, recyclability, and cost price. With the increasing number of types and applications of TPE, TPE is the preferred material instead of silicone!
In terms of material safety, silicone is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and odorless. The most important thing about TPE is that it cannot be reused, while TPE can be recycled.
From the point of view of the characteristics of the material, silicone has strong abrasion resistance and high temperature resistance, while TPE material has better flexibility, but it is easy to deform and has permanent deformation.
Physical dolls have very high requirements on wear resistance and deformability, so silicone materials are more suitable for dolls.
