“Hi, I’d like to order Toxic PVC Vinyl Banners with Toxic Inks please.”
That’s basically what thousands of unsuspecting customers are asking at sign shops across America every day. Can you sell me a cheap banner or cheap roll-up display made using toxic PVC with toxic solvent or UV inks?
How do you know if a banner is made from PVC? These are the banners that have that “shower curtain” smell that gives you headaches if you leave them in your car or garage on a hot summer day. That smell is a mixture of VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) that are off-gassing from your banners. Extensive exposure to these VOC’s can also cause nausea and sore throats.
A laboratory study commissioned by CHEJ found the familiar “new shower curtain smell” may also be toxic to your health. The study found one PVC shower curtain can release as many as 108 volatile organic chemicals into the air. Some of these chemicals can cause developmental damage as well as damage to the liver and central nervous, respiratory, and reproductive systems.
Eco-friendly banners are great for all events to help market your zoo, aquarium, school, or even restaurant.
