What Arctic Zone 20 oz Titan Thermal HP Tumbler is made of, ingredients and materials
The Arctic Zone Titan Thermal HP uses a stainless steel interior (contact surface for beverages) bonded to a plastic exterior shell. Stainless steel does not leach metals or chemicals into liquids under normal use and resists corrosion. The plastic exterior is a thermoplastic polymer (material type not publicly detailed by Arctic Zone), which poses minimal risk if kept away from direct heat, as it does not contact food or drink directly.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Lid gasket or seal material leachables
Lid seals often contain elastomers or silicone; Arctic Zone does not disclose composition. If seal contacts hot beverages repeatedly, minor leaching is theoretically possible but not documented for this model. Inspect for discoloration or odor after heavy use.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Plastic exterior degradation or off-gassing
Arctic Zone does not specify plastic polymer type or VOC emissions testing. No recalls or complaints on record. Risk is low because exterior does not contact beverage and is not heated during normal use.
Stainless steel interior corrosion or delamination
Double-wall stainless steel is corrosion-resistant under normal conditions. No reported cases of failure for this product line. Longevity is typically 5-10 years; delamination would be visible as rust or interior separation.
Microplastic shedding from plastic exterior
Plastic does not contact food or drink; exterior wear from handling or dishwashing would not introduce microplastics into beverage. No evidence of shedding in published reviews.
Heavy metals
Stainless steel does not require toxic coatings. If exterior has printed branding or paint, composition is not disclosed; however, such inks do not contact liquid and risk is minimal.

The brand's record and disclosure
Arctic Zone does not publicly disclose material certifications, testing data, or PFAS avoidance statements. The brand has no known recalls or reported safety controversies in consumer databases. Without third-party certification or independent test results, assessment relies on material class standards and design (stainless steel interior is not a material linked to PFAS, plastic exterior is secondary).
How it compares in its category
Double-wall insulated tumblers with stainless steel interiors show lower concern for leaching, as stainless steel is not a material linked to PFAS. This product is comparable to brands like YETI, Hydro Flask, and Contigo in material choice. Plastic-exterior designs are standard and lower-cost than all-stainless models; the plastic does not contact liquid, reducing exposure risk versus plastic-lined or ceramic-coated alternatives.
If you buy it
Do not expose the plastic exterior to direct heat (dishwasher safe lid does not mean oven safe); hand wash or use top-rack dishwasher for the lid only. Inspect the seal and interior for damage or discoloration annually; replace if cracks appear, though stainless steel is durable for years. The lid mechanism (material unclear) is the most likely wear point; verify replacement lids are available if longevity matters.
