Choosing the right feeding bottle for your baby involves understanding the materials available and their safety, durability, and long-term benefits. At bébémarc, we believe in informed decisions, which is why our bottles are made from medical-grade Ultrason® PPSU, a high-performance plastic sourced from Germany.
This article explores what PPSU is, its advantages over other materials, and why the origin and quality of PPSU matter for your baby's health.
What is PPSU?
Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) is a high-temperature, medical-grade plastic widely used in healthcare and baby products. Unlike standard plastics, PPSU is:
- BPA-free, BPS-free, and non-toxic
- Highly durable and impact-resistant
- Capable of withstanding repeated sterilization (steam, boiling, UV)
The Ultrason® PPSU used in bébémarc bottles is under stringent quality controls, ensuring exceptional purity and performance.
Key Benefits of PPSU Baby Bottles
1. Safety First: A Non-Toxic Choice
- PPSU does not leach harmful chemicals, even at high temperatures (up to 180°C / 356°F).
- It meets strict international safety standards (FDA, LFGB, EU).
- Unlike cheaper plastics, it remains stable over time, preventing microplastic release.
2. Superior Durability for Long-Term Use
- Resistant to cracks, breaks, and cloudiness (common issues with PP plastic).
- Does not degrade easily, even with daily sterilization.
- More shatterproof than glass, making it safer for active babies.
3. Heat Resistance & Easy Maintenance
- Can be sterilized repeatedly without warping or losing clarity.
- Does not absorb stains or odors (unlike silicone).
- Maintains transparency over years of use.
4. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
- Longer lifespan reduces waste compared to lower-quality plastics.
- Can be recycled responsibly at the end of its use.
Comparing Baby Bottle Materials: PPSU vs. PP, Glass, and Silicone
Why Does the Source of PPSU Matter?
Not all PPSU is the same. Ultrason® PPSU from Germany is considered the gold standard because:
✔ Higher purity – No fillers or impurities.
✔ Better performance – More resistant to wear and tear.
✔ Strict manufacturing controls – Ensures consistency and safety.
