What material is the Original Toothbrush handle made from?
Cellulose Propionate, a wood based natural plastic, 93% of which is derived from sustainable yield forests in North Carolina. What material is the Kidz Toothbrush handle made from? Polypropylene, a very strong but light plastic derived from oil. For children these qualities overrode the choice of a natural plastic. It is a pint-sized version of the Original with even softer bristles. What material is the SCUBA Toothbrush handle made from? 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 such flexibility. Why is the handle so large? The RADIUS design uses a large handle to make holding the brush easy – many people transfer pressure onto their gums through gripping a flimsy toothbrush handle too tightly. Since the inception of the RADIUS Original in 1983, many other toothbrush manufacturers have followed with larger handles, but because of the size of the toothbrush rack in stores
