I figure the same, but looking for confirmation.  So I guess the follow on question would be - is it in all soft bait making plastisol?  Does anyone use non-phtalate plastisol?

Thanks for the response!

 

I tried to make some phthalate-free compounds, using different components, I even managed to make a good lures, but I was faced with a specific problem under the production process. If you have an experience to make a basic plastisol, maybe we could be useful to each other.:)
If you are interested to discuss this question in more detail, send me please your email address on PM.

"Alumisol Soft Plastic

Quick and easy to use phthalate-free system enables you to pour extremely soft rubber parts. Perfect for lure makers, special effects artists, rapid prototyping, and medical reproductions such as skin, fat, and muscle tissue. 1-part, heat & pour material."

I think most Plastisols are going phthalate free.

I am not sure why fishing lures need to be phthalate free, they don't digest it, but .............

Many of us have had that problem since the last server update.  When you visit the site, just click on any forum and you should be logged in.

In other words, your password is saved.  You just don't know it.  LOL

This may be a dumb question but... What is the upside of being phtalate free? 

Not a dumb question at all.  Scientific meaning....

From what I understand, I think it would be next to impossible to claim to have a completely phtalate free plastisol as there are too many variables that could be introduced into the mixture.
