The formulation is similar to that of vinyl siding and windows which have a twenty year history of providing long term durability and structural integrity. Our vinyl products are completely absent of any recycled products. The term 'recycled' refers to post consumer or post industrial material coming from the waste stream. Although PVC is being recycled, we do not use the waste stream as a source. Reprocessing our PVC keeps it out of the waste stream thus positively effecting our environment.
Titanium dioxide is the main ultraviolet inhibitor in our vinyl.
It is a white pigment. High concentrations of this pigment make it extremely difficult to obtain dark colors. Furthermore, dark colors absorb heat. The technology to dissipate this heat build up is not currently available. PVC has a flash point of 900 Fahrenheit and does not readily ignite.
