Children's Mice	Soft cushioning, toy-safe certification	Shore A 40 super-soft TPE, EN71 compliant

1. Tactile & Ergonomic Properties

• Skin-Friendly Texture
  TPE offers a smooth, rubber-like touch that avoids the harshness of hard plastics, reducing palm fatigue during prolonged use. Matte-finished TPE variants further enhance the "silky" feel while minimizing fingerprints.
• Customizable Hardness
  • Grip areas: Shore A 45-60 (soft for palm conformity);
  • Buttons: Shore A 65-80 (rigid for crisp feedback).
    This gradient design balances comfort and functional precision.

2. Performance & Durability

• Anti-Slip & Sweat Resistance
  High surface friction coefficient prevents slippage even with sweaty hands, ideal for gaming mice requiring rapid movements. Special additives can enhance sweat resistance and reduce material degradation.
• Shock Absorption & Noise Reduction
  TPE dampens click noise compared to hard plastic mice, making it suitable for office environments. Its elasticity also cushions impacts from accidental drops.
• Abrasion & Aging Resistance
  • Passes 10,000+ friction cycles without significant wear (Taber test);
  • UV-stabilized grades resist yellowing for 3+ years under normal use, maintaining aesthetic appeal.

3. Thermal & Environmental Adaptability

• Wide Temperature Range
  Maintains elasticity from -20°C to 60°C, avoiding brittleness in cold offices or stickiness in warm environments.
• Chemical Resistance
  Repels common contaminants like hand sanitizer, coffee spills, and dust, simplifying maintenance.

4. Structural & Processing Advantages

• Dual-Material Molding
  TPE can be overmolded onto ABS/PC frames for "hard-soft" composite structures:
  • Rigid plastic core for mechanical stability;
  • TPE outer layer for grip enhancement.
• Lightweight Design
  Density of 0.9-1.2g/cm³ (30-50% lighter than rubber), ideal for lightweight gaming mice (<80g) that require agile movements.
• Precision Molding
  Enables complex geometries like contoured grips, textured patterns, and recessed buttons with tight tolerances (<0.1mm).

5. Safety & Compliance

• Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly
  Free of phthalates, lead; compliant with RoHS, REACH, and FDA (for medical-grade mice). Recyclable TPE grades are also available for sustainable products.
• Low VOC Emissions
  Minimal volatile organic compounds ensure no pungent odor, suitable for enclosed spaces like offices or classrooms.
