3. EPE cotton material
EPE cotton, also called foamed cotton, is an environmentally friendly material. It has many advantages such as water and moisture resistance, shock resistance, sound insulation, heat preservation, good plasticity, strong toughness, recycling, environmental protection, and strong impact resistance. It is an ideal replacement for traditional packaging materials. Product. It can be used for the inner packaging of wine, melons, and fruits, and it is non-toxic.
Now the children’s floor mats on the market are mainly made of the three materials mentioned above, but which one is better in comparison? They all have their advantages and disadvantages.
