Is there plasticizer in PVC reinforced plastic hose
Apr 23, 2022
Many people think that if PVC reinforced hose contains plasticizer, it will be harmful to human body and even cause cancer. In fact, this is just our one-sided idea. In fact, the plasticizer used in the production of PVC hose is an additive harmless to human body. Plasticizer will be added only in special industries. For example, in the petrochemical industry, they have high requirements for solvent resistance and climate resistance, so plasticizer will be added.
Most of the current PVC reinforced hoses are made of polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl chloride is a frequently used plastic. It is a resin composed of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer and antioxidant. It is not toxic in itself, but the main auxiliary materials such as plasticizer and antioxidant are toxic. The PVC reinforced pipe made of polyvinyl chloride has stable performance and structure, strong mechanical properties, acid and alkali corrosion resistance and is not easy to degrade. It is a low toxicity product.
At the same time, China also has policies expressly stipulating that PVC reinforced plastic hoses shall not be used in food, drinking water and other processing industries, and shall be subject to special treatment if necessary.
