Not so random questio about MLP plastic
« on: June 27, 2014, 06:35:42 AM »
I hope someone can help, because I am no scientist and am completely floored by this.

While working an a secret thing for Ponycon, I've been asked to provide the chemical composition of MLP plastic to a company we're hoping to deal with. And I don't have the slightest idea about it, of course (I only collect them, I don't know how they're made, haha).

Does anybody here have even the tiniest idea about this, or how I wouldbe able to find out? I've been asked to contact 'my supplier' and I doubt Hasbro are going to tell me what I need to know.

Halp please!
Thank you *wyvernchick* for my lovely avvie!

Isn't BabyBlueRibbon a chemist of some sort?  I think she did the analysis of the glue that proved Reverse Gusty is legit.  Try PMing her?  Good luck!

Try the TP, I think she's more active there.

The actual chemical breakdown is something only Hasbro will know and no doubt never reveal :) However generally most plastic toys like MLP are made from vinyl compounds, or more chemically known as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC compounds are made mainly from vinyl chloride and various other materials such as plasticisers, pigments for colour, fillers, processing aids and stabilizers.

Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!
