The Importance of Porosity
Porosity refers to the microscopic pores present on a material's surface. Non-porous materials, such as medical-grade silicone, glass, and stainless steel, do not have these openings, making them easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria.
Porous materials, such as certain TPE or PVC products, may contain tiny openings that can trap organic residue. When selecting products, considering the level of porosity is a key factor for long-term hygiene maintenance.
Medical-Grade Silicone and Metal
Medical-grade silicone is a non-porous, hypoallergenic material known for its durability and smooth texture. It is highly resistant to heat and can withstand standard disinfection methods.
Stainless steel and glass are entirely non-porous and inert. These materials are highly resistant to temperature changes and are compatible with all types of lubricants, including oil-based options.
ABS, TPE, and TPR Properties
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a hard, non-porous plastic often used for internal components or structural parts of devices. It is durable and easy to clean.
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) and TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) are softer, more flexible materials. While they offer a different tactile experience, they are generally more porous than silicone or glass. Users should prioritize frequent cleaning for these materials.
Phthalate-Free Standards
Phthalates are chemical compounds sometimes used to soften plastics. For safety and skin compatibility, it is important to select products labeled as phthalate-free. Our catalog emphasizes transparency regarding material composition to help you avoid substances that may cause skin irritation.
Lubricant Compatibility Guide
Using the wrong lubricant can degrade certain materials. Please refer to this compatibility list before use:
• Silicone-based products: Use ONLY water-based lubricants. Silicone lubricants can chemically react with and damage silicone surfaces.
• Non-porous materials (Glass, Stainless Steel, ABS): Compatible with water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based lubricants.
• Porous materials (TPE, PVC): Water-based lubricants are generally recommended to maintain material integrity.
Temperature and Disinfection Tolerance
Materials react differently to heat and cleaning agents. Medical-grade silicone and metals can typically withstand higher temperatures and more rigorous sterilization. In contrast, TPE and PVC may degrade if exposed to extreme heat or harsh chemical solvents. Always check the specific product description for cleaning instructions.
