Which plastic water cup is the most resistant to high temperature?

Plastic water cup is a common type of water cup in our daily life. There are three main materials for plastic water cups, PC, pp and tritan, all of which are high temperature resistant plastic materials. But if you want to say which plastic cup is the most resistant to high temperatures, it must be a PC plastic cup.


In terms of temperature resistance, the temperature resistance of the PC plastic water cup can reach about 135℃. The temperature resistance of different PC materials is also different, and some are even higher, so the PC material water cup is the most resistant to high temperature. But unfortunately, as the most heat-resistant plastic water cup, it is also the least suitable for high-temperature drinks. Because PC material contains bisphenol A, bisphenol A will be released at high temperatures, and long-term intake of the released bisphenol A will cause cancer. Therefore, PC cups are not suitable for holding boiling water.


The second is the pp plastic water cup.

The temperature resistance of pp material is generally around 120℃. PP plastic material does not contain bisphenol A, because of this, pp material is also the only plastic material among all plastic materials that can be heated in a microwave oven.

Next is the tritan material, the temperature resistance is generally around 96 ℃.

Although Tritan material has the lowest temperature resistance among the three materials, the safety of tritan plastic material is high.
