<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 4959208, member: 33176"]OK, I'll do some research, but off the top of my head... PVC is usually a stiff, brittle plastic, but materials called plasticizers can be added to the stock resin before it is made into sheets so they can be flexed. That material is often dioctylphthalate which is a non-volatile oily material which disrupts the polymer chains and lets them slip past one another. Now, some plastics are naturally flexible, such as PET (Polyester) and PE (Polyethylene). PET seems to be the choice for flexible coin products.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
