1.Both XPE and PVC may contain harmful substances. For example, both are chemical foaming, and the most commonly used foaming agent is AC foaming agent (also known as "azodicarbonamide"). This kind of foaming agent will leave formamide in the product. If it is not handled well, the formamide will exceed the standard (here the standard refers to the European Union).
2.There may also be toxic small molecules such as hydrogen chloride in PVC. You can see the picture below, there may be more types of PVC toxic substances. The key also depends on how the manufacturers control these substances. When discussing which kind of material crawling mat is safer, the key depends on the specific product.
