The lives of today's young people seem to be permeated by the word "stress." From the 996 work pace to the inward-looking social environment, anxiety feels like an invisible yoke. Against this backdrop, a variety of stress-relieving toys have emerged, and squeezing toys have become a new favorite thanks to their simple and direct way to relieve stress. But did you know? The core of a high-quality squeezing toy lies in its material—the food-grade squeezing liquid silicone IOTA LSR 3100 series, the driving force behind the current stress-relieving toy market
The IOTA LSR 3100 series is a two-component, platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomer. This material is formed by mixing two components, A and B, in a suitable ratio and then naturally curing to form an elastomer with an exceptionally soft touch. Compared to traditional rubber or silicone, the platinum-catalyzed technology employed inherently ensures material safety, a key factor in its food-grade compliance. This material property is particularly important for stress-relieving toys that frequently come into contact with skin and may even be handled by children.
Safety is one of the core advantages of this material. As a food-grade material, it has passed rigorous safety testing, ensuring a truly odor-free experience. Many people have experienced the pungent odor of inferior silicone products. However, the IOTA LSR 3100 series eliminates the addition of harmful substances from raw material selection to production processes, ensuring it poses no harm to the human body even during prolonged contact. Furthermore, it offers excellent high-temperature resistance and an exceptionally long shelf life. Even in high summer temperatures, it will not deform or deteriorate, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
In terms of physical properties, the IOTA LSR 3100 series demonstrates remarkable "compression-relieving abilities." Its compression ratio exceeds 30x, meaning the material can withstand significant deformation pressure, creating a truly "airy" experience when gripped. The tactile sensation is like squeezing a soft cloud; your fingers experience even tension without stiff resistance. More importantly, its moderate rebound speed allows the material to slowly return to its original shape when your fingers release the grip. This smooth, uninterrupted process effectively relieves hand muscle tension and achieves a psychologically stress-relieving effect.
On the production side, this material's process-friendliness is also commendable. Its extremely low viscosity and strong self-defoaming properties completely eliminate the reliance on specialized equipment typically associated with traditional silicone processing. Production personnel simply need to thoroughly mix the A and B components, without the need for vacuum extraction to remove air bubbles, and then pour directly into the mold and wait for it to cure. This streamlined process not only reduces production costs but also ensures consistent product quality, making high-quality stress-relieving toys more accessible to the public.
