Customer Brief

What did the customer need the baby teether to achieve?

Client Requirements

Customize safe and skin-friendly infant teething teethers to relieve babies’ gum discomfort during the teething period. The products shall comply with European and American safety standards for food-contact infant articles, featuring an easy-to-grip shape, anti-swallow design and bite resistance.

Client Background

A maternal and infant product brand retailer focusing on mid-to-high-end infant feeding and soothing products.

Application Scenarios

Relieve teething discomfort and satisfy biting needs during infants’ oral stage, and exercise babies’ hand grasping ability.

Product Requirements

Non-toxic, soft and highly elastic, easy to grip, high-temperature resistant and boilable for disinfection, suitable for infant teething and soothing.

Engineered Response

How did the final design combine safety, grip and bite resistance?

Process Overview

Adopt 3D structural modeling and drawing, customize precision metal stamping molds, use solid silicone raw materials, and realize integral forming by oil-pressure molding. The product shape fits infants’ small hands with smooth and rounded edges without sharp corners.

Materials

Food-grade silicone (FDA maternal and infant safety certified), non-toxic and odorless, high-temperature resistant, flexible and tear-resistant, free of BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals.

Final Successful Solution

The product is integrally molded with high-elasticity food-grade silicone. Adopting an all-round arc safety design, it has adjustable softness and hardness to meet the teething needs of babies in different months. It supports boiling and steam disinfection, and the anti-slip concave-convex texture helps massage gums. The integrated seamless structure eliminates the risk of parts falling off and accidental swallowing, and has passed infant contact safety tests.

Detailed Process

Material Preparation and Rubber Mixing

Mix and color food-grade silicone raw materials with food-grade color masterbatch, and cut the rubber materials into precise fixed quantities to ensure consistent hardness and color of each batch.

Mold Preheating

Clean the special precision mold for teethers, install it on a vulcanizing machine for constant-temperature preheating to ensure molding stability.

Feeding and Mold Closing

Put quantitative silicone into the mold cavity, close the mold and exhaust air for multiple times to avoid molding defects such as air bubbles and material shortage.

High-temperature Vulcanization

Conduct constant-temperature and constant-pressure high-temperature vulcanization to realize cross-linking and integral curing of silicone, forming a compact structure resistant to pulling and biting.

Demolding and Picking

Open the mold and take out the complete teether blank, and cool it naturally with air for shaping to prevent deformation.

Post-processing and Inspection

Trim excess burrs, conduct secondary high-temperature deodorization baking and sterile cleaning. After passing appearance, tension, hardness and safety quality inspections, the products are sterilely packaged and put into storage, complying with the market access standards for infant products.
