简中The coating of PVC used in PVC coated fabric has raised concerns regarding the presence of certain chemicals that may pose risks to human health and the environment. Some substances commonly associated with PVC include:
Phthalates: Used as plasticizers to enhance flexibility and durability in PVC, some phthalates are of concern due to potential health risks, especially related to endocrine disruption.
Vinyl Chloride: Vinyl chloride, a key component in PVC production, is known to be a human carcinogen. Exposure to high levels of vinyl chloride can pose significant health hazards.
Dioxins: During the production and disposal of PVC, dioxins, which are highly toxic and persistent environmental pollutants, can be generated.
Heavy Metals: Some PVC formulations may contain heavy metals like lead and cadmium, used as stabilizers or pigments, which can pose environmental and health risks.
While these chemicals are more commonly associated with the production and disposal of PVC, there are concerns about potential chemical leaching from the PVC coated fabric, especially in cases of damage or exposure to heat.
Efforts in the industry aim to reduce or eliminate these harmful chemicals in the manufacturing process to address environmental and health concerns. Some manufacturers are working on developing alternatives or improving PVC formulations to minimize or eliminate hazardous substances.
