Is it true that Interlocking Baby Floor Mats are Poisonous?

Interlocking baby floor mat is made of PE and EVA materials, which can be distinguished from cross section and logo. Testers said that the materials of interlocking baby floor mats sold on the domestic market are mainly divided into two kinds. One is PE material, that is, polyethylene material; the other is EVA material, that is, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material.

Consumers can judge the material quality through the cross section of the floor mat. The bubbles on the cross section are made of EVA, while the bubbles on the cross section are made of PE. PE, EVA material itself is non-toxic, but additives, processing process will produce harmful substances.

According to Fang Zhengjie, an engineer of Xuzhou Quality Inspection Center, PE and EVA materials, as polymer copolymer materials, are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and hardly harmful to human body. But foaming agent, coloring agent, softener and so on will be added to the floor mat products in the production process. Some of these additives are toxic and harmful substances. In addition, there are some additives which may be non-toxic and harmless, but some toxic and harmful substances will be produced in the process of production. So whether poisonous or not depends on the processing process. We should not judge that all the interlocking baby floor mats on the market are poisonous.
