Can PVC Fabric Meet REACH or RoHS Requirements?

Quick Answer

Yes — PVC fabric can meet REACH and RoHS requirements,
but it depends on formulation and material control.

1. What Are REACH and RoHS?

REACH

REACH regulates chemical substances in the EU, focusing on:

• SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern)
• Chemical safety
• Restricted substances

For PVC: Main concern = plasticizers

RoHS

RoHS Restricts hazardous substances like:

• Lead
• Cadmium
• Mercury

For PVC: Focus = heavy metals

2. Why PVC Is Questioned

Traditional PVC may contain:

• Phthalate plasticizers
• Heavy metal stabilizers
• Odor issues

This is why compliance is often questioned.

3. How PVC Fabric Meets Compliance

No.1: Non-phthalate plasticizers

• DOTP
• DINCH

Easier REACH compliance

No.2：Heavy metal control

 Lead-free stabilizers
Safer formulations

N鸥：Third-party testing
