Are Edgebanding Plasticizers Toxic?60

As a leading manufacturer of edgebanding in China, we often encounter questions regarding the safety of our products. One of the most common inquiries we receive is whether our edgebanding contains toxic plasticizers.

What are Plasticizers?

Plasticizers are chemicals that are added to plastics to make them more flexible and less brittle. They are commonly used in a wide variety of plastic products, including edgebanding. The most common type of plasticizer used in edgebanding is polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Are PVC Plasticizers Toxic?

PVC plasticizers have been the subject of much debate over the years. Some studies have shown that certain types of PVC plasticizers can be harmful to human health. However, it is important to note that not all PVC plasticizers are created equal.

The type of PVC plasticizer that we use in our edgebanding is called di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). DEHP has been extensively studied and has been found to be safe for use in food contact applications. DEHP is also approved for use in toys and other children's products.

Our Commitment to Safety

We are committed to providing our customers with safe and high-quality products. We regularly test our edgebanding to ensure that it meets or exceeds all applicable safety standards.

In addition to using DEHP, we also offer edgebanding that is made from other types of plasticizers, such as acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and trimellitates. These plasticizers are also safe for use in food contact applications and are often used in products that are intended for children.

Conclusion

The plasticizers that we use in our edgebanding are safe for use in a variety of applications, including food contact and children's products. We are committed to providing our customers with products that meet or exceed all applicable safety standards.
