Question:

What type of plastic is used in toothbrush holders?

Also, Is there a plastic that has antiseptic properties?

Answer:

1.Toothbrush handle: PP and PS material with soft rubber . 2.The soft rubbery plastic is Kraton and the head is polypropylene - both of these are derived from oil - unfortunately no natural alternative exists to create the flexibility. 3.Polypropylene - a very strong but light plastic derived from oil - for children these qualities overrode the choice of a natural plastic. *Kraton - a soft and rubbery plastic - ideal for providing a good grip to a toothbrush handle covered in toothpaste. *Handle - what material is the Original Toothbrush made from? -Cellulose Propionate, a wood based natural plastic, 93% of which is derived from sustainable yield forests in North Carolina.
Most of the ones i have seen have been made from Poly-Styrene
