The space cup belongs to a category of plastic water cups. The main feature of the space cup is that its lid and cup body are integrated. Its main material is polycarbonate, that is, PC material. Because it has excellent electrical insulation, extensibility, dimensional stability and chemical corrosion resistance, high strength, heat resistance and cold resistance, it is relatively durable and light.
The material of the space cup is mostly made of food-grade PC material. However, since the PC material was detected to contain bisphenol A, the material of the space cup has been slowly changed from PC plastic material to Tritan plastic material. However, most space cups on the market are still made of PC material. Therefore, when purchasing a space cup, we must pay attention to its material.
When the space cup we buy is made of PC plastic, we should try to avoid using it to hold boiling water, because only in this way can we avoid the hazards of bisphenol A. Moreover, the colors of space cups are generally richer, because their bright colors are also more attractive.
There is another most important reason. Space plastic cups are cheaper than other plastic cups. Therefore, in order to attract customers, many supermarkets will launch many large-capacity plastic cups, with prices ranging from 9.9 to 19.9 yuan. There are also various styles and colors of cups. In fact, those are space plastic cups. Friends who buy those cups are advised to only fill them with cold water. PC water cups will release harmful substances when filled with hot water.
