COBRA Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Does anyone know if vinyl plastisol based baits (lure craft plastisol) will react and melt PVC plastic? I am looking to get some clamshells to package a certain product and am in a rush, and dont know if the baits will eat them. I know some container plastic will melt, otheres wont. Both the baits and container are a form of vinyl. ANyone have any experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull Baits Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 You can call Lure Craft and ask 1-800-925-9088. I don't think they would since they prolly use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, after a few months, the clamshell will begin to melt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I called for the msds but never recieved them yet. the clamshells will only melt if the plastics react. both are vinyl derivitives, so who knows. some do some dont. i actually while typing just thought of something, i have some old hawgleys that came in plastic clamshell packaging, maybe i can get a recycle number off it. thanks.

Smallie Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes, after a few months, the clamshell will begin to melt I have some swimbaits in clamshells that are over 2 years old and they don't show any signs of deterioration. I bought them on eBay so I can't say who made them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I use clamshells made by Placon and have had baits in them for over two years...they will not melt or even get damaged (MF and Calhoun plastic) I have had some California Swimbabes in the factory clamshell since 2007 with no damage. The big swimbait companies all use them so I don't think this is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
