Hi,
Our regular plastic distributors have apparently switched their manufacturers, or at least are getting lower quality plastics now. What we are seeing is polypro that has a milky look to it, and in some cases never goes clear during heating. This alone is not an issue, but the plastics are more flexible than in the past. I think that they have more impurities in the plastic, that is making it more flexible.
My question is: who has the most pure platics? I remember one of the distributors claiming that they only had their plastic manufactured for O and P, and was very pure.
Thanks,
Nathan Keepers, CPO
