What are the materials of disposable slippers
I. Textile Materials
Non-Woven Fabric
Composition: Made from polyester fibers, terylene fibers, etc., via needle punching technology.
Features: Moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, lightweight, flame-retardant, non-toxic, odorless, low-cost, and recyclable. It offers a soft touch and good breathability but has relatively low strength and is prone to damage.
Pure Cotton
Composition: Made from pure cotton fabric.
Features: Excellent breathability and hygroscopicity, soft and comfortable, highly skin-friendly, capable of absorbing and wicking sweat, and providing good anti-slip effects. However, it is prone to deformation, fading, and has poor durability.
Pure Linen
Composition: Made from pure linen fibers.
Features: Good breathability and moisture absorption, reducing foot moisture and odor, lightweight, and soft in texture. However, pure linen is relatively stiff, may cause obvious friction when worn close to the skin, and is prone to pilling after long-term use.
Cotton-Linen Blend
Composition: A blend of cotton and linen.
Features: Combines the advantages of cotton and linen, such as good breathability, sweat permeability, natural environmental friendliness, resistance to deformation and pilling, and certain antibacterial properties to effectively prevent foot germ growth, offering high comfort.
II. Plastic Materials
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
Features: High wear resistance and weather resistance, relatively low cost, stiff texture, 不易变形 (not easily deformed), and excellent waterproof performance. However, plasticizers and other chemicals may be added during manufacturing, which may cause sensitivity in some people. It has poor breathability and moderate wearing comfort.
Plastic
Features: Lightweight, easy to wear, affordable, simple to manufacture, and not easily deformed. However, it has poor environmental friendliness, easily causes resource waste and environmental pollution, and offers unsatisfactory breathability and comfort, potentially making feet feel uncomfortable after long-term wear.
III. Foam Materials
EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer)
Features: Lightweight, soft, water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and highly elastic, providing comfortable wear, resistance to deformation, and certain anti-slip properties for enhanced safety. It is also relatively environmentally friendly but has poor water resistance, is prone to moisture absorption, and is 不耐高温 (not heat-resistant).
PR (Thermoplastic Rubber)
Features: Combines the elasticity of rubber and the processability of plastic. Slippers made from PR are both soft and durable, with excellent anti-slip performance, maintaining stability even on wet surfaces. However, the cost may be slightly higher than EVA and PVC materials.
IV. Paper-Based Materials
Composition: Typically made from paper or paper fibers.
Features: Lightweight, soft, moderately breathable, low-cost (suitable for bulk purchases), and easy to dispose of (environmentally friendly). However, they have low strength, are prone to damage, lack cushioning performance, and are unsuitable for 潮湿环境 (humid environments) or areas requiring bearing certain pressure.
