squigster Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hello All, I have a quick question. Is MF plastic really safer than others? It says non-toxic. I just want to make sure its safe before I expose my wife or son to it. I have used Calhouns and Chemionics and always wear a respirator. Any comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Contact MF and ask them. Your family is too important not to get it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's all "Non Toxic" Now, MF, Calhoun, and any other plastisol sold is a PVC material and you NEVER want to expose anyone, especially children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squigster Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yes, all are non toxic until cooked or burnt. A respirator and ventilation are a must. PVC cannot be good for you. I use ventilation and now will wear a respirator for sure. I think a closed and contained system with ventilation is the best way to deal with any fumes. Nobodys plastic is safe when cooked. Really dont have a lot of options to contain all fumes. I guess a respirator with something like a shooting star system with ventilation legs going to vents may be the safest option. Gonna have to look around at options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 It may be non toxic in the raw form but if over cooked it is very toxic. Burnt plastisol will produce throat irritating fumes and black particles floating in the air. A respirator at the very least, should be worn at all times and please keep the kids away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
