<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1745503, member: 15199&quot;]The URL list is somewhat dated. The food covering and cling wraps such as Saran and Ziplock products have not been produced with PVC ( chloride or plasticizers ) since approximately 2002. Most flexible food containers such as Peanut butter containers are now PET. Perhaps some from other manufacturers brands from other countries have problems, but I always specify Zip-Lock, even though many 99 cent store products in this line are Polyethylene or PET as well. I took time and checked the bottom of all of my plastic food containers, and even some old tupperware in the garage from at least the 1990s and non were PVC.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PVC coin products have 2 problem points IMO. In newer PVC products, the amount of plasticizers are large and prone to gaseous migration and in the presence of moisture can produce corrosive ( acidic) action against coin metal. In older PVC, once the plasticizers have dissipated, the PVC itself is relatively inert. Many &quot;survivalists&quot; store caches of ammo and coins in sealed Rigid PVC tubing underground. The second problem is that when PVC reaches etreme temperatures such as in a house fire, they produce nasty residue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
