Difference between silicone doll and TPE doll
As we all know, in the past, sex dolls were almost inflatable dolls, but now they are generally silicone sex dolls and TPE sex dolls, so what is the difference between them?
This article will bring you questions and answers. There are two types of material for sex dolls: silicon material and TPE material. The two materials have a lot in common. The touch is close to the real human skin, with solid plasticity and natural stability. In the initial stage, the material used to simulate the doll was silicone, but later it was found that the TPE material was softer and cheaper. Now, TPE dolls are the mainstream products on the market.

The difference between silicone dolls and TPE dolls
TPE material doll
TPE stands for thermoplastic elastomer, It is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and easy to color. It is mainly made of SEBS as the base material mixed with other fillers, which has the elasticity of rubber and the processing characteristics of plastic. Material.
TPE is thermoplastic, does not require a vulcanization process, and has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber. It can be said to be a combination of the advantages of plastic and rubber, so TPE can be several times lower in Shore hardness than silicone. The density of the body parts of the doll can be freely set during the TPE injection molding process. The lower the density, the softer, and the higher the density, the more elastic. The manufacturing process of TPE sex dolls is to add the TPE material to a high temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius, then inject the softened TPE material into the mold, then disassemble the mold after cooling, take out the molded physical doll, and perform the next modification.
Silicone material doll
The main component of silica gel is silicon dioxide, which has stable chemical properties, strong adsorption capacity, good biocompatibility, non-irritating, non-toxic, and non-allergic to human tissue. It has good physical and chemical properties and is compatible with gases and liquids. It can maintain its original elasticity and softness without degradation during the contact process. It is a fairly stable inert substance that can withstand high temperatures, can be sterilized, is easy to process and shape, and has a smooth hand. The hardness of the silicone can be adjusted to be the softest at 0 degrees and the hardest at 20 degrees. Silicone oil can be added to adjust the softness.
The difference between TPE material and silicone material
TPE doll is still the mainstream in the market, mainly because the price of TPE is a bit lower, and the hand feel is better than silicone, but it is slightly inferior in weight loss, body details, and makeup. With the development of manufacturing technology, the body coating of TPE is also perfect, and the skin texture and artificial blood vessels are very realistic.
(1) TPE and silicone are both elastomers, but the softness of silicone is far less than that of TPE, which depends on the characteristics of the material itself. However, by using silicone material and soft technology, the doll's chest, hips, and inner thighs can be made softer than TPE. Of course, the process is much more complicated.
2) TPE has higher stretch and resilience than silicone, and the elongation can reach 400%. The range of motion of TPE dolls is much larger than that of silicone sex dolls. For example, the legs can be attached to the chest and folded nearly 180 degrees and it won't tear.
(3) Silicone dolls have higher stability than TPE dolls due to their heat resistance, and their service life is longer than TPE dolls.
(4) Silicone has high density. Silicone is heavier than TPE for the same volume, but the current dolls that can save weight are all silicone dolls. It all depends on the fact that the silicone doll has a liner and the inner material is very light. For the meat part, the silicone is only 2-3cm as the skin part, and the partially softened part is only a few millimeters thick. Another advantage of high density is that the shape is firmer, the skin looks firmer, and the details of body curves and skin texture are firmer.
(5) The performance of silica gel is stable, not easy to dyed, and less oily. It is better than TPE in terms of post-maintenance and hassle-free. TPE is easy to color and can also be easily stained by dark clothes (especially black and dark blue). TPE produces a lot of oil and tends to stick to dust and hair. It requires frequent bathing and dusting and is cumbersome to maintain.

there are considerations for buying real dolls of different materials
(1) Please note that TPE materials can be recycled and remolded. Factories can use it to greatly reduce production costs. In the process of making dolls, there are a lot of defective products. These are production costs. To keep costs down, some factories will use recycled materials. Therefore, the quality of low-priced TPE dolls will inevitably suffer. Be careful when buying. The way to differentiate is to look and smell using original physical dolls, which have been recycled, are dark in color, and have a strong smell. Silicone materials cannot be recycled, so using recycled materials is no problem.
(2) There is a big difference between face makeup and body makeup of different materials. Thanks to this material, silicone can be more delicate and less prone to take off makeup. In terms of details, it's better than TPE dolls. The photo of the silicone doll is not much different from the actual product. The face makeup of TPE dolls is inferior, and basically, there is no body makeup, so the sales photos of TPE dolls are processed by ps. When purchasing, you must watch the video to confirm the purchase, otherwise, the actual product may not match the picture. baby.
(3) A solid doll made of TPE material, is a soft material, tear-resistant, good elasticity, easy to dye, changeable, easy to produce grease, moderate lifespan, slightly inferior body details, and cosmetic coating, C, frosted material, relatively cheap. And, silicone solid doll, the material is soft, the ductility is slightly inferior to TPE, not easy to dye, not easy to produce grease, not easy to deform, long life, details such as body curve and skin texture, can be painted, can be transplanted hair, Eyelashes, the material is bright, so the price is a bit expensive the TPE.
In conclusion, there are two materials for making dolls, silicone and
TPE materials. Both materials are safe. You only need to pay attention
to the color and smell during the purchase process, and our shop Mantang
Fun Products supports customized services. You can choose a silicone head
with fine workmanship, and then match it with a TPE that is very close
to the real touch. If you buy dolls made of recycled materials, unfortunately, the material is not safe, you must ask the merchant to return or exchange the
product.
