Now phthalate-free

Phthalate-free plastic components are making the world a safer place for us all.

Phthalate esters are used primarily as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products and other synthetics. The addition of phthalates makes plastics, which are often brittle, more flexible and elastic and easier to process. On average, products made of soft PVC consist of between 30 and 35 percent plasticizers.

As a market leader in its industry, Soudronic has decided to start using only phthalate-free plastics for components that come into contact with packaging material. As a result, phthalates can no longer leach into or rub off on packaging material.
