Safety Assured, Growth Guarded: HONLOY’s Commitment to Formamide-Free Safety
EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam has become the core material for kids' puzzle play mats, EVA fitness floor mats, martial arts mats and other products thanks to its lightweight, flexible structure and excellent cushioning performance, and is widely used across various scenarios. High-quality EVA material itself is chemically stable, non-toxic and harmless. However, some low-cost, inferior products on the market illegally add formamide to cut costs, creating hidden health risks for children and adults — a safety red line that HONLOY has always firmly refused to cross.🛡️🛡️
Formamide is a colorless, oily liquid with a slight pungent ammonia-like odor, often used by unscrupulous manufacturers as a foaming agent or plasticizer. To lower production costs and make foam mats feel softer, some producers illegally add formamide during the EVA foaming process, or use low-grade azodicarbonamide foaming agents that leave formamide residues after high-temperature decomposition. This practice directly causes pungent odors in inferior mats, making formamide the core safety issue ofEVA puzzle floor mats. 🧪
Excessive formamide is harmful to both adults and children, especially kids with weaker immune systems. To protect children’s health, many countries worldwide have introduced strict standards to limit formamide content in EVA puzzle mats. China’s GB/T 41003.1—2021 clearly specifies that the formamide content in EVA kids'foam mats shall not exceed 100mg/kg; the EU’s (EU) 2015/2115 Directive sets the limit at 200mg/kg and imposes strict requirements on its emission levels; the U.S. ASTM-F963 standard also lists formamide as a key controlled substance.🧬
HONLOY always puts customers’ health first, building a full-process safety defense line with stringent standards to completely eliminate formamide risks. We insist on using virgin, compliant EVA raw materials and reject recycled materials and inferior foaming agents, eradicating formamide addition at the source. In production, we adopt advanced aldehyde-free foaming technology and conduct multiple rounds of testing to strictly control residues, ensuring the formamide content of all our EVA mats is far below international standard limits. Meanwhile, our products fully comply with relevant safety regulations of the European Commission and the United States. They are not only non-toxic and harmless, but also completely solve the common pungent odor issue of new foam products, and can be safely used right after unpacking.🔬
For customers pursuing higher safety standards, HONLOY also provides formaldehyde-certified products tested to the highest level. Each certified product has passed multiple stringent tests by authoritative third-party institutions, meeting standards in material composition and hazardous substance emissions, and fully satisfying safety needs for households, maternal and infant channels and other scenarios.🧫
The safety of EVA materials hinges on strict adherence to production processes and quality control. Guided by the philosophy of “Health First”, HONLOY creates truly safe EVA puzzle floor mats through strict raw material screening, advanced production technology and full standard compliance. We believe that only by eliminating potential safety hazards at the source can we truly guard every baby’s growth and live up to the trust of every customer.☢️☢️☢️
