TPE 月经杯舒适性更强且更耐用

作为一家全球知名的 TPE 制造商，凯柏胶宝® 致力于为各行各业提供类型多样的优质热塑性弹性体产品和定制解决方案，包括为月经杯应用量身打造的医疗级热塑宝 M 系列 TPE 化合物。

到目前为止，月布、卫生巾、海棉、月经碟等一次性经期用品的卖点都集中在便利性和舒适性上。不过，可持续性也已成为吸引消费者的另一个重要考虑因素。

月经杯是一种小巧柔软的容器，大小不一，与类似的一次性用品相比，更加环保。它们还有可重复使用的变体，只要维护得当，最长可以使用 12 年。

热塑性弹性体（TPE）正在逐步替代硅酮，成为新型月经杯的常用材料。此外，TPE 致敏性低，经过无菌处理，干净卫生，能够确保在人体内安全使用。

Enhanced comfort, and durability with TPE menstrual cups

KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer of a diverse range of thermoplastic elastomer products and custom solutions for a variety of industries, offers the medical-grade THERMOLAST® M range of TPE compounds for menstrual cup applications.

Until recently, the selling points for mensuration items like cloth pads, sanitary pads, sea sponges, menstrual discs, and other disposable menstruation products were focused on convenience and comfort. Sustainability has since emerged as an essential factor in consumer appeal.

Menstrual cups, which are small, flexible vessels that come in a range of sizes, are depicted as a more environmentally friendly option than similar single-use items. They are also available in reusable variants, and with proper maintenance, can last up to 12 years.

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are emerging as alternatives to silicones as common materials used in newer menstrual cups. Factors for consideration are that TPEs are hypoallergenic and sterile, ensuring safe use inside the human body.

KRAIBURG TPE, a global thermoplastic elastomer manufacturer with a broad range of products and custom solutions for a range of industries, offers a medical-grade TPE solution for menstrual cups.
