Acrylic Blocks | Educational play, home decor, gift toys | 50mm thickness, 92% light transmission (ISO 14782), CE certified▲ (Industry: 85% avg.) | Lightweight, non-toxic (ASTM F963), vivid color visibility▲ (E.g., "Yellow face emits 98% of visible light") | Prone to scratches, less tactile feedback vs wood/metal▲ (Friction resistance: 3N vs 5N in wood) |
Plastic Building Sets | Creative STEM activities, construction | Interlocking pieces, ASTM D6868 biodegradable▲ (30% faster disintegration than standard plastics) | High durability (50+ drop tests from 1m), modular design▲ (Supports 10+ connection angles) | Heavier (150g/unit vs 100g acrylic), limited transparency▲ (Light transmission: 65% max) |
Glass Blocks | Architectural partitions, soundproofing | 100mm thickness, 80% opacity (ISO 13833), 24dB sound reduction▲ (Industry avg.: 18dB) | Structural stability (compressive strength: 120 MPa), modern aesthetics▲ ("Blueshift" effect under LED lighting) | Fragile (impact resistance: 3J vs 5J in acrylic), heavy (350g/unit)▲ (Requires reinforced mounting) |
Wooden Blocks | Outdoor play, traditional learning | 50mm, FSC-certified, 0.8g/cm³ density (ASTM D792)▲ (Industry eco-standards compliant) | Tactile texture▲ (Friction coefficient: 0.6 vs 0.4 in acrylic), eco-friendly▲ (Carbon footprint: 20% lower) | Less transparent (light transmission: 15%), heavier (180g/unit)▲ (Potential splinters if untreated) |
Magnetic Tiles | Modular construction, STEM education | 5mm thickness, 1000 Gauss magnet strength (ASTM F963)▲ (Industry avg.: 800 Gauss) | Easy assembly▲ (Magnetic pull force: 12N), IP54 water/dust resistance▲ (Suitable for outdoor use) | Higher cost ($25/unit vs $15 acrylic), magnet demagnetization risk▲ (After 10,000+ uses) |
Foam Cubes | Sensory play, safety zones | 45mm, 0.1g/cm³ density (ASTM D792), flame resistance (UL 94 HB)▲ (Self-extinguishing) | Ultra-lightweight▲ (Safe for toddlers), soft impact absorption▲ (10% energy absorption vs 5% in plastic) | Low durability (compressive strength: 0.5 MPa), color fading▲ (UV resistance: 500 hours vs 1,000 in acrylic) |
