Unlike fiberglass screen, Ultra Screen uses an eco-friendly plasticizer in its PVC formulation called DOTP. The plasticizer fiberglass screen uses is called DINP and has been identified as an ortho-phthalate - a compound that has been shown to be in endocrine disruptor in humans. That means every 5 to 7 years or so your not-so environmentally friendly fiberglass screen will end up in a landfill somewhere. While Ultra Screen will ultimately end up in that same landfill, it will be more than a decade later and with no toxic effects on the environment. |
