Are polyurethane kitchen mats safe?

The polyurethane used in high-quality PU kitchen mats is a non-toxic material. They do not contain harmful substances such as BPA and phthalates (plasticizers), and meet environmental standards (such as EU REACH and US FDA certification). High-quality PU mats have low volatile organic compounds (VOC). Ordinary polyurethane has a temperature resistance of about 80°C or less. Short-term exposure to high temperature (such as dropped oil spots) will not release harmful gases, but long-term exposure to open flames or high temperatures may decompose and produce trace odors (it is recommended to stay away from the high temperature area of ​​the stove). It should be noted that some kitchen mat manufacturers use inferior polyurethane as raw materials, which will cause major safety hazards to your body and family. Therefore, you need to choose a reliable kitchen mat manufacturer to cooperate, rather than just focusing on the price of the kitchen mat.
