Advantages of Plastic Toys
When plastic is used to create children's toys, it brings a number
of benefits that no other single material can offer. Some of these
include:
Weight
Plastic can be very lightweight, particularly when injection
molding is used to create a toy, meaning toys are easier for
youngsters to enjoy more easily.
Easy Cleaning
Impervious to many chemicals and other substances, plastic toys may
resist marks and stains, and can generally be easily cleaned as
needed.
Safety
While plastic has gotten a bit of a bad reputation for safety, due
primarily to plastics containing bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates,
safe plastic toys can be made with many formulations which do not
contain these compounds. In addition, many plastics can include
antibacterial and antimicrobial additives to enhance safety.
Finally, most plastics do not easily conduct heat or electricity,
adding to their safety features.
Strength & Impact Resistance
Toys are generally designed to take a beating, and plastic can be
one of the most resilient materials for them. Its high strength in
comparison to its weight, and its flexibility give it the ability
to withstand extensive play.
Durability
Because most plastics are generally able to tolerate a wide variety
of exposures to varying temperatures, moisture and chemical
contact, and other hazards, they make for long-lasting toys.
Customizability
A nearly infinite variety of colors, textures, and finishes can be
produced in many plastics, allowing for tremendous freedom of
design and functionality.
