Our Product:

Thermoplastic functionalized polyolefin alloys have been used for coating of water pipes for many years. On a project in Sweden using similar compounds, The Swedish Corrosion Institute dug up the pipes after 10.85 (11) years in the salty clay soils around Gothenburg. These are the results after 11 years:

Rusting - Zero Cracking - Zero Blistering - Zero Flaking - Zero Adhesion - 100%

A: There has been talk for a while about the harm that comes from plastic bags. They are harmful to the environment and cause many animal death each year. The total number of deaths is probably not known. It is stated, however, that approximately 100,000 marine mammals dies each year due to bags. This is a large number, but does not include fish or land animals. Most likely the number would be in the millions.

Lethal additives:
PVC is useless without the addition of a plethora of toxic chemical stabilizers - such as lead, cadmium and organotins - and phthalate plasticizers. These leach, flake or outgas from PVC over time raising risks that include asthma, lead poisoning and cancer.

Deadly Fire Hazard:
PVC poses a great risk in building fires, as it releases deadly gases long before it ignites, such as hydrogen chloride which turns to hydrochloric acid when inhaled. As it burns, whether accidentally or in waste incineration, it releases yet more toxic dioxins. PVC burning in landfill fires may now be the single largest source of dioxin releases to the environment.

Can't be readily recycled:
The multitudes of additives required to make PVC useful make large scale post consumer recycling nearly impossible for most products and interfere with the recycling of other plastics. Of an estimated 7 billion pounds of PVC thrown away in the US, only 14 million - less than 1/2 of 1 percent - is recycled. The Association of Post Consumer Plastics Recyclers declared efforts to recycle PVC a failure and labeled it a contaminant in 1998.
