PVC-Free Alternatives | Health Care Without Harm
PVC-free and DEHP-free alternatives exist for almost every use of PVC in the health care setting, including medical devices, office supplies, building materials and furnishings. There are basically two types of alternatives to DEHP-plasticised PVC: non-PVC products and PVC products softened with another plasticizer chemical. Because plasticizers are not chemically bound to the PVC, they all
PVC-U - Polyvinyl chloride without plasticizer - Plastics | Rchling SG
PVC-U (polyvinyl chloride) is an amorphous, thermoplastic, plasticizer-free plastic, also known as hard PVC. The “U” stands for “Unplasticized”, so it’s “plasticizer-free”. PVC-U is primarily characterised by its excellent chemical resistance, processability and bondability, and is self-extinguishing after the flame source is removed.
Comprehensive Guide on Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Unplasticized or Rigid PVC (Density: 1.3-1.45 g/cm 3 ): Rigid PVC is a stiff and cost-effective plastic. It shows high resistance to impact, water, weather, chemicals and corrosive environments. This type of PVC is also known as UPVC, PVC-U or uPVC. Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride or perchlorovinyl: It is prepared by chlorination of PVC resin.

What is the best alternative to DEHP for medical-grade PVC? That depe
DOTP-plasticized PVC compound of 75 Shore A durometer currently costs 10 to 15 cents per pound less than one plasticized with TOTM. This is chiefly because TOTM is far more expensive. In addition, TOTM is a much less efficient plasticizer than DOTP, meaning you have to use more TOTM to achieve the same durometer—and plasticizer today is more expensive than PVC resin.
