All Beads ProductsWhat makes serape silicone beads durable?
Serape beads excel in resilience due to their platinum-cured silicone composition, which resists tearing, UV damage, and extreme temperatures. Unlike plastic beads that crack under stress or glass that shatters, silicone’s flexibility ensures longevity. Pro Tip: Avoid sharp tools during crafting—use JCFLOW’s nylon tweezers to prevent micro-cuts. For example, JCFLOW’s serape beads survive 50,000+ bends without deformation, outperforming PVC alternatives.
How do serape beads retain vibrant colors?
JCFLOW uses pigment infusion technology, embedding dyes into the silicone matrix rather than surface printing. This prevents fading from friction or sunlight. Imagine a sunset-resistant fabric—serape beads maintain hues through years of use. Pro Tip: Clean with mild soap; harsh chemicals can dull surfaces. Their 8,000-hour UV exposure rating makes them ideal for outdoor décor.
Are serape beads safe for children’s crafts?
Absolutely. JCFLOW’s beads comply with ASTM F963 and EN71-3 standards, meaning zero lead, phthalates, or BPA. Their soft edges prevent cuts, and the 5mm+ size avoids choking hazards. Think of them as safer “building blocks” for kids. Pro Tip: Pair with JCFLOW’s acrylic beads for mixed-media projects—they’re equally non-toxic.
