2. PP material
PP is polypropylene with a high melting point of 167°C and is the only plastic that can be put in a microwave oven and can be reused after careful cleaning. The cup made of PP has good heat resistance and stable chemical properties. In addition to being corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid, it is relatively stable to other chemical reagents.
At present, bisphenol A is only found in PC material, but not in PP material. Of course, this is not to say how good PP plastic water cups are, because some relevant institutions have detected that PP plastic water cups will The release of bisphenol S at high temperatures is similar to that of bisphenol A, but as long as it is not used at high temperatures, there will be no problem.
3. Tritan material
The safest plastic cup material is Tritan material. It is the formula material for baby products in Europe and the United States. It not only does not contain bisphenol A and bisphenol S, but also does not contain any bisphenols. It can be said to be the safest at present. Plastic material.
2. Look at the use
The body of the water cup will be marked with a purpose, so the water cup must be selected for “food use”. Try not to buy and use cups marked with other purposes, otherwise it will have adverse effects on health. It is also recommended to buy plastic cups that are not marked for use.
3. Smell
A good plastic water cup, even if it smells new, will not have a very special odor, but some inferior plastic cups can smell the pungent inferior plastic or rubber smell as soon as you get close, indicating that the quality of the cup is very poor, try not to use it. Buy.
4. Look at the production license sign
Before the production of water cups, a special agency needs to issue a license, so the bottle body of the water cup will be marked with the “QS” production license mark, although the mark does not determine the quality of the cup, but the water cup with this mark can be considered for purchase. And the color of the logo should be pure and clear in pattern, and beware of counterfeit and shoddy products.
5. Look at the manufacturer
The water cups produced by regular manufacturers will clearly indicate the specific manufacturer, production address, distributor, specific contact information, etc., while the above information of inferior water cups is often ambiguous, or there is no similar information at all.
In addition, the newly purchased plastic cups need to be cleaned and disinfected. The disinfection methods of plastic water cups are as follows:
1. Put a few slices of lemon and orange peels, or a few drops of vinegar in a glass, and soak overnight.
2. When the milk expires and you can’t drink it, you can put a rag in it and soak it to wipe the cup, and the dirt can be quickly removed.
3. Soaking rice water overnight is also a good method.
]]>2. Can it be disinfected?
Most of the current children’s water cups are made of space glass, that is, PC non-toxic plastic material, which can not only withstand relatively high water temperature, but also is not easy to be damaged after being beaten. But there are also very few brands that have disposable paper cup training cups for parents to choose from. If you choose a cup of this material, then you don’t have to worry about the cup being broken, and you also don’t have to worry about the children being hurt. In addition, parents must pay more attention when buying water cups to see if the outer packaging of the cup states whether it can be machine washed and sterilized. If the cup can be sterilized, then it can be guaranteed that the cup is clean and hygienic before the child uses it.
3. Duckbill or straw
Although each different brand of cups has its own patented cups, to sum up, there are mostly only two types of cups, namely duckbill type and straw type. There will be some changes in some details and appearance. If you distinguish carefully, the drinking mouth of these two types of cups is also different. If the mouth of the cup is soft, then the mouth is likely to be made of silicone, which is active and edible, and feels like a pacifier to the touch; the mouth of the cup is hard, usually made of It is made of non-toxic plastic, which is similar to the overall feeling of the cup. Parents can choose the cup that the baby prefers. Generally, the soft cup is used for the child first, and then the hard cup is used for him. In this way, there is a transition process that allows the child to transition from sucking a pacifier to using a normal cup.
2. Glass water cup
The better children’s water cups are made of glass. Glass is a transparent material and does not carry any harmful substances. If there are stains on the cup, it can be clearly seen. In addition, glass cups are easier to clean and disinfect. Although it is better, it is easier to break, so many parents are reluctant to buy it. Especially if the child is naughty, it is easy to break the water cup. Glass has a strong thermal conductivity, and if the cup is filled with hot water, it may scald the child. At present, many glass water cups on the market will have a layer of plastic insulation, which will not burn children. But parents are best not to put too hot water in the cup, because the cup may explode and crack.
3. Stainless steel water cup
Stainless steel is generally used in thermos cups or thermos kettles, because stainless steel is strong, not easy to be damaged, and has poor thermal conductivity. It not only does not have the shortcomings of other materials, but also has its own advantages. Therefore, for parents, stainless steel water cups are the best for children. Therefore, many people will prepare a thermos cup for their children in winter. However, because stainless steel contains some trace elements, it should be used with great care.
By application
1. Sports use refers to water bottles used for some relatively intense sports, such as running, mountain climbing, etc., which are characterized by more emphasis on the quality and sealing function of the buckle.
2. Outdoor use refers to the use of hiking, picnic, tourism and other occasions. It is characterized by more lightweight and multiple forms of hanging buckles.
3. It can be said that the water bottle used by students is similar to the outdoor water bottle, but because it is used by children, it is different from the professional water bottle in design and production. The sports water bottle used by students is more convenient and easy to use, such as It can be used to open the cap by rotating instead of opening the cap with a plug.
By material
1. Plastic sports water bottle: the advantages of plastic: light weight, slow heat conduction, hot water is not hot, big mouth, cheap price. Disadvantages: not wear-resistant, unqualified materials will have harmful substances.
2. Stainless steel sports bottle: stainless steel advantages: strong, no harmful substances, harmless to people, heat-resistant. Disadvantages: The single-layer thermal conductivity is fast and not wear-resistant. The double-layer stainless steel container requires high processing accuracy, and the seams are prone to water leakage and bacteria breeding.
3. Aluminum sports bottle: Advantages of aluminum products: light and stylish. Disadvantages: The heat conduction is too fast, the hot water cannot be taken, and the cold water cannot be taken. Aluminum products are too soft and easy to bump into pits. Excessive intake of aluminum will cause harm to the human body.
4. Silicone sports water bottle: The advantages of silicone: it can be folded, easy to carry, light, heat-conducting and slow-loading hot water is not hot, big mouth, heat-resistant, no harmful substances, harmless to people, and resistant to falling. Disadvantages: The material is too soft, and you need to use both hands to drink water when there is little water.
2. Easy to carry
Portability, there are many situations in which the water bottle is used outdoors, sometimes on a bicycle, sometimes on a rock wall, which puts forward requirements on the portability of the water bottle. And some containers made of soft materials, such as hydration bags and leather water bottles, have an irreplaceable advantage. Their volume and shape can be changed as needed, which is undoubtedly a boon for your overloaded backpack.
3. Designed for special use
Designed for special use, the outdoor environment varies greatly, there are many kinds of outdoor sports, and in some cases, the general functions cannot meet the needs. In those situations where only one hand can be used to drink water, a bottle mouth design that can be opened and closed with one hand or with teeth is particularly important. When there are many people and there is a need for camping and picnic, a foldable Buckets will effectively meet the camp’s water needs. In harsh conditions like high altitudes or polar regions, an insulated kettle that guarantees your water doesn’t freeze will give you peace of mind.
Two, sports cup selection skills
1. Material clearance is the foundation: the so-called disease enters from the mouth, and you must keep your mouth shut when drinking water. If the material safety of the water cup is not up to standard, it will cause great harm to the human body over time. Therefore, pay attention to whether the label of the water cup indicates that the safety standard is met. Secondly, pay attention to the material’s resistance to falling and heat resistance, because it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps during exercise, and if you accidentally break it, you have to change another water cup.
2. All scientific and convenient: Carrying water cups is convenient for drinking water, and scientifically designed water cups can make “convenience” more incisive, such as anti-leakage design, convenient cleaning design, etc. Most of them are for better convenience for people to use .
3. Beautiful design and good mood: On the one hand, a sports water cup suitable for you can improve the quality of sports, on the other hand, it can make people feel happy, and at the same time increase the probability of using it. It is more common to choose a simple and beautiful style for sports water cups. It is recommended to choose a transparent or translucent water cup, which is clear to see and drink more at ease.
