At Temakrom we produce ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a thermoplastic polymer that offers an excellent balance between strength, hardness and flexibility and is one of the most common materials used in the production of children's toys.
Why is ABS used in toys?
- durability: toys must be able to withstand drops, bumps and daily manipulations. The robustness of ABS ensures that the toys last a long time, offering excellent value for money.
- safety: ABS does not contain phthalates or BPA, chemical substances often present in other plastics that can be harmful to health. In addition, it is resistant to high temperatures and is not easily deformed.
- hygiene: it is relatively easy to clean, which is important for toys that children can put in their mouths.
- versatility in design: thanks to the ease with which it can be shaped and coloured, ABS allows designers to create toys in a wide range of shapes and colours, stimulating children's creativity.
Another advantage is its environmental sustainability. This material is recyclable and can be reused to create new toys or other products. At a time when concern for the environment is increasingly high, its use can help reduce the environmental impact of the toy industry.
In conclusion, ABS represents an excellent choice for the production of children's toys, thanks to its safety, resistance and versatility. With this material we at Temakrom want to offer a unique opportunity to create toys that not only entertain children, but also help them develop cognitive and motor skills
