What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Car Mats of Various Materials?

Car Floor Mat is a must-have in many car owners. It not only absorbs water, vacuums, decontaminates, and sounds insulation, but also effectively protects the host blanket, making the car more clean, tidy and beautiful. Although the car mats are powerful, if they are not selected properly, they can easily lead to safety accidents. Inferior automobile foot pads not only fail to protect the blanket of the main engine, but also may release harmful gases, pollute the air in the car, and even pose a safety hazard due to the non-fitting version. When we buy automobile foot pads, we must not only look at the material and version characteristics, but also need to consider safety, slip resistance and other characteristics. According to the production materials, there are currently five types of car mats on the market, including plastic, rubber, linen, leather, and silk loops. The 3D Vehicles Floor Mat Manufacturer introduces the advantages and disadvantages of each material to help you choose better. 

1. Plastic feet

Plastic car mats are also called PVC mats, which are mainly made of polyvinyl chloride. This kind of foot pad is easy to clean and care, but it will emit harmful gas, heavy odor, and endanger human health. It is easy to harden in winter, and may even jam the car's throttle, which poses a safety hazard. It is currently not widely used in the market.

2. Rubber feet

Rubber foot pads are mainly made of synthetic macromolecules. Its biggest feature is that it is durable and easy to clean. Not afraid of deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction, suitable for all seasons. The disadvantage is that during the injection molding process, harmful gases are easily generated, which makes the foot pads smell bad.

3. Leather Floor Mat

Leather foot pads are generally made of microfiber leather. This kind of material has strong toughness, good air permeability, wear resistance and cold resistance, and has excellent anti-aging properties. The foot pad made of leather is both soft and comfortable, and shows high grade. It is a kind of high cost-effective foot pad. Its disadvantages are that it does not absorb water and is not resistant to dirt, and it is troublesome to clean and care.

4. Llinen foot pad

Linen foot pads generally use natural fiber crops and oil crops as raw materials. They have the characteristics of moisture absorption and ventilation, good heat dissipation, and antistatic. However, linen foot pads are easy to swell and deform after absorbing moisture, and they need to be cleaned and managed frequently. Although it is cheap, it will fluff and deform over time and need to be replaced regularly.

5. Silk circle foot pad

The surface of the wire loop foot pad is the surface of the wire loop, and the bottom layer is a rubber layer, which is made by adhesive or hot melt. The silk loop foot pad has strong elasticity, does not deform when squeezed, and has good comfort. Good anti-fouling and waterproof properties, antibacterial and flame retardant, effectively keeping the interior of the car cleaner, and easy to clean and easy to take care of. The disadvantage is that the price is higher.

Their environmental protection, abrasion resistance and dirt resistance are as follows: silk loop foot pads> leather foot pads> linen foot pads> rubber foot pads> plastic foot pads. Each type of car foot pad has its advantages and disadvantages. When we choose, we should try to choose more environmentally friendly, healthy and safe non-slip foot pads according to the reasonable price.
