Perhaps you have never heard of phthalates, yet they are present in many products and objects that we use every day.<\/p>\n
What are phthalates?<\/p>\n
They are chemicals that are added to plastics (mainly PVC) to make them more flexible and more moldable.<\/p>\n
What are they like?<\/p>\n
Odourless and colourless<\/p>\n
Where are they?<\/p>\n
We find them almost everywhere in everyday items, for example in films, tubes, paints, hairsprays, nail polishes…<\/p>\n
How are they absorbed by our body?<\/p>\n
By three routes: ingestion, inhalation (it is a volatile product) and contact.<\/p>\n
Phthalates are harmful to health if we are exposed to them for prolonged periods.<\/p>\n
Sintek products (HDPE, LDPE, PET) are strictly free of these substances! We are committed to making the objects we all use safe on a daily basis and to protecting our health and our environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
