What is PVC Toys?

PVC toys are toys made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), typically in the form of figures or monster characters. The "V" in "PVC" stands for vinyl, which refers to the ethylene base. Raw materials known as "vinyl" are also PVC.

Polyvinyl chloride is a highly plastic and cost-effective plastic material widely used in various product manufacturing, including toys. The material characteristics of PVC make it a preferred choice for art toy manufacturers and exporters. PVC itself is not toxic; if made purely from PVC and of good quality, it is generally safe for babies as it is stable and starts decomposing around 170°C, a temperature rarely encountered in everyday environments.

In the realm of art toys, PVC is commonly used for its smooth texture, solid weight that allows intricate details to be highlighted, and excellent painting effects. Resin, whether soft (PVC soft) or hard, is another related technique used in art toy production. Soft PVC toys have a soft and delicate feel, making them easy to color and shape, while hard PVC pieces are lighter, often hollow, with sharp edges, bright colors, and rich color gradients.
