Thermoplastic rubber is a high-performance material that offers abrasion, coloring, and weather resistance capabilities. TPR is available in varying shore hardness to provide both hard and soft flexible characteristics but when subjected to continuous usage can deform permanently.
TPR is a synthetic material that turns to a molten state when heated and later on solidifies to a formed state when cooled just like ice cubes or Cheese hence the name thermoplastic. However, Silicone on the other hand has a different chemical bonding capability that only allows them to form one permanent structure on heating just like pancakes with no reversible reaction.
TPR is definitely an eco-friendly raw material that is used in manufacturing pet toys. TPR is eco-friendly because it can be recycled or remolded even after an initial molding process is complete to make another design using the same material when heated to its liquid-molten state again.
TPR is absolutely safe for dogs because the material is non-toxic, lead, BPA, and phthalate chemicals-free which can be disastrous to any animal or child as well. TPR has very low quantities of extractable as well due to its non-migratory characteristic.
