Healthy rubber shoes

Under normal circumstances, irritating odor has two sources. First, most industrial raw materials of plastic products contain PVC and other plastic additives. In high temperature environment, various chemical components will decompose rapidly, giving off a pungent chemical smell. Secondly, some inferior plastic slippers often add recycled waste with unknown composition in production, which is also very harmful to people's health. In addition, some inferior slippers are made in small workshops, and too many plasticizers are often added during processing to increase the processability of slippers, which also makes many slippers smell pungent.

Are smelly slippers really harmful to your health?

The harmful chemicals in plastic slippers are mainly concentrated in formamide for foaming; Plasticizer for increasing flexibility; Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, etc. ) used as dyes and stabilizers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons easily introduced into raw materials.

At present, most plastic slippers contain PVC, which is safe in itself. However, in high temperature environment, this chemical component will decompose rapidly and release hydrogen chloride gas, which has a strong stimulating effect on people's eyes and respiratory mucosa and can cause headaches, nausea, skin allergies and other symptoms. DEHP, a commonly used additive for PVC, is also harmful, because DEHP (phthalate ester) is easy to atomize and release toxic gas, and DEHP is also easy to dissolve in oily liquid. In 2004, a research team composed of Swedish and Danish scholars found that DEHP and BBZP commonly used in PVC are closely related to children's allergies.

Secondly, some inferior plastic slippers will be mixed with some waste, which is also very harmful to people's health. Plastics made from these wastes of unknown origin are likely to contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lead, chromium and other components, all of which are carcinogens. In addition, many plastic slippers are often made of industrial waste rubber and plastic materials, and the recycled rubber and plastic materials contain a lot of sulfur and aniline substances, which are very harmful to health for a long time.
