It is very important to choose the right material to manufacture small household appliance plastic accessories, because the choice of material will affect the performance, durability and safety of the product. Here are some commonly used materials for small household appliance plastic accessories and factors to consider when choosing materials:
1. Polypropylene (PP):
- Advantages: Good heat resistance, impact resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Relatively cheap.
- Applicable to: food containers, kettles, coffee machine parts, etc.
2. Polyethylene (PE):
- Advantages: Good corrosion resistance and electrical insulation. Moderate price.
- Applicable to: food packaging, wire insulation, sinks, etc.
3. Polypropylene nylon (PA):
- Advantages: Excellent strength, wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Suitable for high wear parts.
- Applicable to: blenders, stirring rods, blades, etc.
4. Polycarbonate (PC):
- Advantages: high transparency, strong impact resistance, suitable for high temperature applications.
- Suitable for: kettles, food blender blades, thermos bottles, etc.
5. Polystyrene (PS):
- Advantages: low price and easy to manufacture.
- Suitable for: coffee cups, tableware, etc.
6. Polyamide (PI):
- Advantages: extremely high temperature resistance and chemical stability.
- Suitable for: high temperature electronic devices, oven parts, etc.
7. Polyester (PET):
- Advantages: good wear resistance and strong chemical corrosion resistance.
- Suitable for: food packaging, electronic parts housing, etc.
8. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC):
- Advantages: strong corrosion resistance and low price.
- Suitable for: wire insulation, pipes, etc.
Factors to consider when selecting materials:
1. **Use environment**: Consider the use environment of small household appliances, including temperature, humidity and contact with chemicals, to select materials with appropriate resistance.
2. **Strength requirements**: Select materials with sufficient strength based on the function of the product and the force it will withstand.
3. **Abrasion resistance**: If the accessories need to be rubbed or worn frequently, choose materials with good abrasion resistance.
4. **High temperature resistance**: If the small household appliances need to withstand high temperatures, choose high temperature resistant materials.
5. **Food safety**: If the product contacts food, make sure to select materials that meet food safety standards.
6. **Cost**: Consider the cost of the material to ensure it is within the budget.
7. **Recyclability**: Consider the recyclability of the material to reduce environmental impact.
8. **Regulations and standards**: Comply with applicable regulations and standards to ensure product safety and compliance.
The final material selection should be based on the specific requirements and performance needs of the product, and material testing and verification may be required to ensure that the selected material meets the needs of the product.
