Is the plastic material poly vinyl chloride, or something more archival like polyester?

Not exactly sure - it is like a paper with a strong woven material embedded in it plus a foil liner.

I assume it is polyester, it's definitely not plastic. It is soft and doesn't make the crunchy noises like others. It fits better than any others that I've purchased. Most bend the mattress because they are so tight, this 1 does not do that

It is plastic but it is a real tough job rated nylon like material. Real good and strong. I have used the heck out of my set already and do not imagine they will ever break unless SEVERLY abused.

Plastic bottle label HDPE WITH A "2" in the recycle triangle. From what I can find on the net this is a safe kind of plastic.

I think it's vinyl, but it's very, very thin. Don't expect it to last more than one season, if that. We're going with a tarp and rope this year.

Good question, I didn't think of that. Plastic. Now I wonder how long it will last. Guess I can always use duct tape when it fails. For about $20, seems like it should be sturdier, eh?And it looks very visible to me, no doubt whatsoever. It will eventually break with repeated opening/closings.

Acrylic to the best of my knowledge. Too sturdy to be plastic in my opinion.

It looks like vinyl to me, but it could be wire coated in vinyl. I recommend this unit. It's wonderful for hanging a lot of laundry at one time, and it folds up quickly and with no problems whatsoever.

BPA and phthalates are plastic additives. PVC is "plastic." Since this is an aluminum rail, you don't have to worry. The paint may be a different story.

The container is plastic. I am not aware if these compounds are present or not in the material, but they hold up pretty well.

Yes. It's vinyl. I have fabric cloth so it doesn't stick, but pretty sure even with plastic it's not going to be a problem.

It's a man made vinyl type material. I have one of these, its pretty durable and I like it.

It doesn't appear to be vinyl, and I don't think that it's just nylon. It's a relatively heavy fabric that is also waterproof. It's very flexible, much better than a vinyl cover, and I don't think that it will develop cracks. I've only had it for a couple of months, so I don't know how durable it is, but it seems pretty tough.

It's some kind of synthetic, but quite soft. Not a vinyl. My dad gets cold easily, so a leather or vinyl finish wasn't a good option for him.

It's just polyester that is on the bottom layer. This is a very light cover. Nothing like the noisy or heavy ones with PVC.

The material is vinyl, quilted on top. Very rugged, esp. since I have a cat. I like the trunk to store sheets & blankets.
