Quoted from High_End_Pins:The very common and widespread myth that chemicals used in older coatings are outlawed is not true for the most part unless you are talking about things like lead and asbestos or CA based manufacturing specifically.
The real issue is that these older and quite frankly better chemicals are not as fast ,easy nor compliant as the more modern replacements so companies are pressured to adapt or are doing so for ease of production.
Things can completely be done the old reliable way but few have the patience for it.
They are acting like they are all about quality and proceeding in a manner that is about nothing but cost and ease.
A digital print is easier and cheaper than a screen print. A universally compliant finish coat is the path of least resistance than a probable more robust and toxic version.
The balancing act of the modern business and manufacturing climate is showing its true effects on the end customer these days.
Your paying for the fantasy of it and not really getting it.
Thank you for this. I certainly trust your information on this subject. It is what many of us have thought for quite a while now.
