PolyCo USA manufactures VR vinyl-free protective apparel, which provides for 4-6 times the average life of similar (vinyl) products, but is 100 percent recyclable. The material provides strength and puncture resistance as well as protection.
Free of vinyl and latex, VR has been clinically tested to offer resistance to fats, oils and chemicals such as nitric, sulfuric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. Containing no toxic substances or plasticizers, VR can be recycled, land filled or incinerated without harming the environment, the company said.
The VR line of protective wear includes aprons, sleeves, gowns, gloves, shoe covers, boot covers, rain wear, overalls and jackets.
