Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

Hello,

I love a particular type of thicker (300-400 micron) glass clear PVC that was once a common feature in inflatables before the EU killjoys banned most phthalate plasticisers. This plasticiser-rich PVC prior to the EU phthalate ban was very noisy, rubbery, smooth and soft to the touch, shiny and 'sticky'. An uninflated inflatable sofa made from this particular PVC formulation made a lovely rustle/crackle when it was unfolded: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=76ef6824 ... c2SDIU&v=3

Since my PVC fetish extends to rainwear, I would like to ask if there are still any raincoats out there made from this particular PVC formula? The more phthalate plasticiser, the better, as far as I'm concerned. My PVC fetish has exposed me to phthalates for years, and no obvious ill-health has resulted from it.

Wish I could get one of those inflatable sofas. I'd sleep on it instead of in my bed.

These inflatable bubble sofas/couches are unobtainable here in the UK, so I had to import one from this company based in Montana, US: http://www.bubbleinflatables.com/inflat ... sofas.html

However, it appears that the US has, in line with the EU, banned phthalate plasticisers, so I was rather disappointed to discover that my most recent PVC bubble sofa was somewhat lacking in the wonderfully soft, rubbery, noisy and 'sticky' qualities I enjoy. Finding a glass clear PVC raincoat made from a thicker PVC material (300-400 microns), but with a high phthalate plasticiser content to give it that softness, 'stickiness' and noisy quality, is highly improbable, now that the killjoys have banned most phthalates. I dislike thinner (i.e, 100 micron thick) PVC, since it has a similar quality and feel to those cheap lightweight disposable polythene ponchos or supermarket plastic shopping bags.

I live in Texas so it shouldn't be too much trouble. Seeing all those colours now I want one of each.

Try wearing several layers of glass clear (or GCR/GCB) 200 micron raincoats when you lounge on these inflatable 400 micron PVC sofas. A loud crescendo of crackles and creaks is produced as the shiny and 'sticky' glass clear PVC raincoat surfaces cling to each other and to the PVC inflatable sofa. Try immersing yourself inside several layers of PVC U Like's 200 micron glass clear (or GCR/GCB) body bag. It is great fun being totally cocooned in noisy and sensually soft glass clear PVC, but be careful not to suffocate yourself! If you prefer soft, 'clingy' and noisy PVC, I also recommend their Shiny Patent Blue raincoats. I would like to obtain a Shiny Patent Blue PVC raincoat in a 'shiny both sides' version, which I imagine would be very noisy in much the same manner as the glass clear PVC material.
