Plasticlad® PVC trim is derived from Plasticlad® sheet, a perfect blend of user friendliness and environmental compatibility.

Plasticlad® sheets are extruded using safe Organotin heat stabilizers which exhibit low toxicity and little tendency to migrate from PVC. Tin stabilizers added during formulation also exhibit low volatilization during normal processing conditions as well as under severe use conditions. Plasticlad® sheet and Plasticlad® PVC trim are free of conventional Lead, Barium, Cadmium and Zinc compounds and pose low risk to manufacturers, sheet processors, consumers and aquatic life. These materials are suitable for use where foods contact surfaces and are readily recyclable.
