Epicurean Chef Series Utensils (Set of 5)

Hello, Chemical Engineer here, I have worked in plants that produce Polyvinyl Chloride, Polyvinyl acytate and other intermediates for plastics production. Many of these chemicals in the state that our plants are working with are extremely toxic. Once they have finished the production process however they are 100% safe for food use. Just to further the point, copied from MSDS for Phenol Formaldehyde resin: "HAZARD STATEMENT: Ordinary use of this product is unlikely to produce significant exposure to hazardous chemicals. PELS for these chemicals are set at levels designed to avoid any significant health risk and are achievable with proper material handling procedures, ventilation and housekeeping. Nevertheless, per OSHA requirement, we list the following possible health hazards if one were exposed to the following chemicals at levels much higher, or in a different form, then expected from ordinary use of this product. " http://www.metallographic.com/MSDS/SDS-OSHA/Phenolics.pdf

Thanks again, RCB_EOD! Links were awesome. Education is great. The resin is a "phenol formaldehyde resin" with "no added Urea Formaldehyde", which sounds a little scary, but I guess it is the way it is.

Here ya go! The resin is from Ecobind, and the link below has all the technical documents for all Richlite's products. I'm sure if you look up Ecobind you can find a MSDS. https://www.ecosupplycenter.com/brands/richlite/
