What is PVC ?

Toy makers around the world have been using PVC for more than 40 years to make some of the best known and most popular toys and children's products. Why? Because PVC makes good, safe toys that are durable, easy to clean and are fun for children of all ages! In addition to its safety record, toymakers also use PVC because of its versatility; it can be easily formulated to be flexible or rigid, or to be virtually any colour of the rainbow. PVC's durability helps toys to withstand even the most rugged play, and parents can appreciate the fact that it can be easily cleaned, helping to keep children safe from germs.

What are Phthalates?

To make PVC soft and flexible it is necessary to use substances known as plasticisers to make the material pliable. The most commonly used plasticisers to make PVC soft and flexible are phthalates (pronounced thal-ates). They are a family of chemical substances that have been in use for more than half a century.

Phthalates are used in literally thousands of everyday items, many of which we have come to take for granted as we strive to improve our lifestyles and make everything around us better, safer and more efficient.

Do Shrunks portable inflatable beds have any Phathales?

Shrunks' portable inflatable beds are what we call Phats-Free. They are the first to offer inflatable beds constructed of PVC containing less than 0.05% phthalates. The Shrunks' Airbeds not only comply with the State of California's recent legislation restricting the use of PVC containing more than 0.1% phthalates for children's toys child care products, they exceed it by 500 ppm!

Setting up a portable inflatable bed!

Getting that inflatable bed to inflate and deflate properly was always a challenge, until I knew what to do. Make sure the nipple valve is squeezed, so that air is allowed to enter-allowing air to enter the chamber faster...That was the easy part...The difficult part was the deflation and we all had that problem. The trick is to place the hose of the electric pump, on the other end, so that the air can be sucked out of the chambers, like a vacuum. This allowed the product to be deflated quickly and product becoming flat....the folding of the product then comes easier...The other method is to place a straw or some type of hollow chamber inside the nipple valve, so that air is allowed out while folding...It is not that difficult, once tried...Good luck..
