It is environmentally safe and does not cause skin allergies or discomfort. With a hermetically sealing effect, this material is considerable to utilize in goggles and waterproof liners. Furthermore, the snorkel used to connect the oxygen tubes for diving equipment were also made by this class of material.
FF Class
The material is food grade as satisfactory to U.S. FDA regulations that made of translucent. The user may feel ease as it is a safe and non-toxic material that can replace PVC and latex materials. For example, the container seals keeping food in fresh over a long period of time and the anti-slippery mat for cutting board. In addition, the applications aiming at the baby market such as the shatterproof dining bowls and utensils, others like toys and teethers, etc.
H Class
The material is transparent with high physical properties, great cold resistance and good tear resistance. It is suitable for applications with extreme requirements, such as the straps, used in packaging, bundling and transport, which makes the products more secure on the packaging because of superior tensile strength. On the other items, such as chest fitness strap, that has the extraordinary resilient force and anti-aging to make the exercisers easily achieving the body-building
HG series
The HG series is classed as the SEBS (STYRENE-ETHYLENE/BUTYLENE-STYRENE) hydrogenated grade of materials
This series combines well with hard plastic materials and have the softness of the elastomers, therefore, it can serve both appearance and anti-scratch functions. When using this material, its functions can be altered by adding different formulations or additives based on product requirements, for instance, adding anti-mildew and antibacterial will make the product life longer.
The HG series is used in anti-slip pads/mats, business-type handles and a variety of toothbrushes. For ‘example, the functionality of the toothbrush was breaking the traditional style by using. The TPE /TPS material can be bonded on the grip and back of the brush head, besides, it also can be embedded in and be the bristle. All of which makes cleaning efficient! Thus, the HG series is always to be the best material for toothbrush.

The grades of TPU particles (resin) can be simply categorized into: injection grade, extrusion grade, and blowing grade. Some TPU material is molded by particles and some are made of varying thicknesses films for different product applications. TPU can be recycled, coloring, and has high processing efficiency.
TPU has been widely used in electronic appliances, the health care industry and footwear, because of easy processing, which itis suitable for extrusion molding and injection molding machines. However, TPU easily absorbs water, if moisture control is not thorough during processing, it will result in poor performance. So drying process is required before manufacturing.
