Sustainable health,
nurtured by the healthcare
industry, is a growing
awareness of the effects
materials that make up
our environments have
on health and well being.
PVC, “The Poison Plastic,” and the companies who use it in their products are now being scrutinized and removed or banned by governments, advocacy groups, global brands, and most importantly, moms around the world.
Powerful advocacy groups dedicated to ending PVC use.

“Meets the technical, functional and aesthetic properties of flexible PVC
while eliminating the chemical and toxic gas issues surrounding flexible vinyl.”
What are Pal polymers?
Custom engineered TPO formulated for specific end use applications where melt extruded flexible PVC has historically been used in performance applications.
Pal Benefits?
• True replacement for flexible PVC
• Processable on same extrusion equipment as PVC
• No Phthalates, heavy metals or detectable halogens during combustion
• Cradle to Cradle recyclable
• Extremely low smoke density and VOCs
• Custom tailored to end use
Pal Properties?
• Flame retardant -NFPA 701 (all years), California Title 19, CPA184, UL-94 V-2, Flooring Class II Radiant Panel
-FAA 12 & 60 Second Vertical Burn for Interior of Commercial Aircraft (Smoke & Toxicity)
• Weathering -3,000 Hours QUV 340 nm, -Minimal Discoloration, Cracking, etc.
• Cold Weather Sustainability Passes -40 Degrees
• Surface Hardness -Durometer from Shore A of 60-90+ -FR Grades Shore A of 70 to 90+
• Lightwweight -0.89 to 1.00 Specific Gravity for flame retardant grades
Property Comparison High environmental profile is attributed to its ease of cradle to cradle recyclability and it being derived from olefin monomers which are the post industrial waste by-products from the refinement of oil.
