Rudy, that's a pretty scary thought. What about all that plumbing? You see, PVC is easily workable because you can glue it. Poly has to be welded! ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: PVC in equipment construction Author: [log in to unmask] at corp Date: 11/1/96 9:48 AM Have not heard of any moves to disallow, or limit uses of PVC in equipment. There is, in the US, some people who are actually trying to limit or prohibit use of ANY organo-chlorine compounds, but then there are people who believe the earth is flat too... At any rate the idea is pretty ludicrous, but even if it were to happen, we could switch to polypropylene, which is not that much more expensive, and generally a superior material for PCB fabrication equipment anyway, if only because it can deal with higher temperatures.
