Household PVC Material Plastic Tablecloth, Is It Harmful To The Human Body?

Some softening plasticizers are added to PVC tablecloths during production. Environmentally friendly plasticizers are harmless to the human body; but traditional industrial plasticizers are not only not environmentally friendly, but also toxic and have the risk of carcinogenicity. If there is a wound on the skin, plasticizers may enter the body. Plasticizers are easy to volatilize in high temperature and super cold environments, and will enter the respiratory tract, so summer and winter are high-risk seasons for plasticizer migration, which is likely to endanger the health of infants and breastfeeding women; put the utensils for hot meals on the tablecloth That's fine, but boiling water and soluble oils also promote plasticizer migration.

In addition, PVC tablecloths also contain stabilizers, among which industrial salts are harmful to the body. However, consumers don't have to completely reject PVC tablecloths. Medical-grade or food-grade plasticizers and stabilizers will not harm health.

Plastics are non-toxic, because plastics are macromolecular substances that cannot be absorbed by the human body. It is only because the additives that need to be added during processing are toxic, or the reaction is insufficient during synthesis, and small molecule monomers are released during use, that plastics show toxicity. Leaded heat stabilizers are added to pvc processing.

PC is used in a hot environment for a long time to release bisphenol A, and the European Union suspects that it will cause precocious puberty. PE, PP, and pet additives use less additives, but it is not recommended to use them for a long time in a hot environment. (Such as disposable plastic cups, mineral water bottles, buckets). Engineering plastics are non-toxic, but they are not encountered in life.

The general characteristics of toxic plastics are: many and thick colors, because a large amount of pigments (organic or inorganic) are added. But cheap paints are poisonous. The plastic is impure, it may be recycled plastic or mixed with other plastics, and the source of this plastic cannot be guaranteed to be safe. For example, medical waste plastics and garbage bins are recycled.

When heated, it becomes soft and feels sticky. PVC is mostly, and the softer it is, the more plasticizers and low-molecular-weight polymers it has, which is generally unsafe. The plastic tablecloth does not contact food for a long time, and does not contact food when it is high temperature. The plastic has no peculiar smell, and the aging plastic is replaced in time, which is safe.
