Whether the PVC material is environmentally friendly, or whether it reaches food grade, depends on whether the raw materials in the PVC product meet the environmental protection requirements, and whether there are environmental factors in the production process.
1. The PVC material itself is not toxic. If it is a monomer or degradation product that is not fully polymerized, it will contain a certain degree of toxicity. Under high temperature and ultraviolet radiation, PVC will degrade. At this time, if people use it again, it will be toxic. The finished products of degraded PVC plastic can easily cause damage to the internal system of the human body, thereby causing hepatic angiosarcoma.
2. PVC plastics include urea-formaldehyde and formaldehyde. If we process and manufacture PVC plastics, their incomplete reaction will result in a large amount of free formaldehyde remaining in the PVC plastic, and this formaldehyde is a kind of cell. If a bowl made of PVC material is used to hold hot food, it is easy to cause the deterioration of certain cells after the human body eats it, which is not good for human health. There is also chlorine in PVC plastic. When we burn it, It will produce a toxic substance and pollute the environment.
