PHTHALATES FACTS PHTHALATES ARE KNOWN TO BREAK DOWN IN THE HUMAN BODY Research has shown that after entering the body, phthalate are broken down into metabolites within minutes and pass out quickly in urine.2 PHTHALATE EXPOSURE IS CONSIDERED LOW Despite the fact that phthalates are used in a wide range of products, human exposure from all sources is considered to be extremely low.2 PHTHALATES ARE A USEFUL CHOICE FOR HEALTHCARE Flexible vinyl tubing does not react with most medications, allowing for reliable administration of drugs, while flexible vinyl bags prevent blood contamination and extend shelf life of the blood.3 PHTHALATES ARE REGULATED Based on earlier studies, a few specific phthalates have been banned for use in toys or other items for sale to children under twelve to reduce risk of overexposure through hand-to- mouth behaviors. 1 Source: chemicalsafetyfacts.org 2 Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 3 Source: thisisplastics.com www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

If ink overlay occurs, ink/color strength will be impaired when the transfer is heat fused onto the garment. Plastisol heat transfers are mostly printed on specially prepared transfer papers.  Transfer papers must be very stable when exposed to moisture and heat.

Main advantages of liquid color systems include: • Excellent statistical distribution for consistently high quality products • Shot-to-shot and batch-to-batch consistency • Single heat history • Minimal wastage due to high level dosing accuracy and product recovery rates • Highly concentrated formulations with capability of very low addition rates • Reduced inventory and storage requirements CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE STABLE LIQUID FORMULATIONS Under storage • Remains stable • Solid-like at low shear • No sedimentation During dosing • Exceeds yield stress • Liquid-like behavior • Flows easily After dispensing • Self-levelling • Rebuilds its structure INSPIRATION AND INSIGHT When developing a brand new color, consulting with your color provider early in the decision process can prove invaluable in gaining insight into which formulation will be most effective and can open up new ideas and opportunities for new colors, color effects, polymer options or finishes that you may not be familiar with. Streamlining this process and being able to react quickly and cost-effectively to market dynamics can give that all-important competitive edge.
