Among all materials, the glass material is relatively safe. Glass cups are usually made of soda lime glass, which are fired at a high temperature of over 600 degrees. Because of their relatively stable chemical composition, no harmful substances are generated during the production process. And normally the glass cup inner wall surface is smooth, easy to clean, bacteria and dirt are not easy to breed on the cup wall.

Many people worry about the quality of plastic cups, but as long as you choose products related to brands that meet national quality inspection standards, it is actually safe.

Generally speaking, numbers are printed on the bottom of plastic cups, from 1 to 7. The higher the number, the higher the quality. The most common number are the number 5, PP material (polypropylene) and the number 7, PC material (polycarbonate).

The PP cup has good heat resistance, the melting point is as high as 167 degrees Celsius, and the chemical properties are relatively stable. It is the only plastic material that can be placed into microwave oven. The PC material water cup generally can only contain cold or warm water, because high temperature may cause this material to release toxic BPA.

2. Ceramic cup with underglaze color: This type of cup is produced by paint first, and then calcined at high temperature. After this processing, the paint is stored under the glaze. Even if hot water is brewed, harmful substances will not leak out. Relatively speaking Health and Environmental Protection.

3. On-glaze ceramic cups: This kind of cups are painted on the glaze, and then baked to dry. It is easy to ooze out harmful substances during use and endanger human health, so it is not recommended.
