Foam for kiddies toy
Foam for kiddies toy
(OP)
Hi all ,
I am working on a childrens toy , which uses a foam projectile . I am looking for a suitable material which is obviously light weight , but can be painted , but is tough enough to withstand a small child chewing on it ! . Obviously as this is toy we need to be sure the material will pass all the relvent safety tests etc . So far I have looked at PU and EVA , but are there any others which would be worth considering ?
Thanks in advance .

But you can't paint it.
Okay, you can, but the paint won't stick.
... especially when chewed.
Flaking paint doesn't belong in a child's anything.
So buy it colored.
