Water is the source of life.
What cup do you usually use to drink water?
Common cups include
stainless steel, glass and plastic
Which one is safer?
1. Stainless steel: It is recommended that 304 and 316 materials with better heat resistance be chosen. 201 stainless steel is a non-food grade material and cannot be eaten.
2. Glass: High borosilicate glass is more heat-resistant, shatter-resistant and safer.
3. Plastic: 05PP material has the best heat resistance and can also be heated in a microwave oven, which is safer.
Which is safer, glass or plastic cup?
Glass, high borosilicate glass
Compared with ordinary glass, high borosilicate glass is more shatter-resistant and heat-resistant and can withstand up to 450 degrees. There is basically no problem drinking hot water.
Plastic cups
05PP can be filled with hot water and heated
01PET: commonly used in the production of mineral water bottles and carbonated beverage bottles, which are thrown away after use and cannot be recycled
04LDPE: commonly used in the production of cling film, which is not heat-resistant and cannot be heated with the film
05PP: commonly used in the production of plastic cups, straws, plastic fast food boxes, etc., which can withstand 130 degrees high temperature and can be heated in a microwave
06PS: commonly used in the production of bowl-shaped instant noodle boxes, foam fast food boxes, etc., which is not heat-resistant and cannot be heated with the film
07PC: commonly used in the production of water cups, space cups, milk bottles, etc., and is not suitable for boiling water
