I truly am not sure about them meeting the astm specs. But as i have had them for over a yearof intense racquetball playing, doubles and single matches, they have come trough vertu well, protecting me from balls hitting, racquets swinging awfully close to my face and running into other players. ......

They are polycarbonate, and protect from direct impact from tennis balls hit hard from a few feet away. They have worked great for over a year for me. No ASTM spec knowledge.

Polycarbonate is not BPA free. But, polycarbonate is great stuff. Indestructible.

Polycarbonate Spray Paint. Many brands such as Tamiya, Pactra are good options. I personally prefer Tamiya.

It is made out of Tritan plastic. This is a tough, clear plastic that is BPA free.

It is a single cast polycarbonate, so the answer is no. It is best used to fill either small cups or air pots, using a longneck ketlle, like Hario makes.

The container is made of polycarbonate and I don't know if it is BPA free. It is a great blender, unbeatable in power for frostiness and smoothies.

Have you any clue what type of "thermoplastic" is in constant contact with the boiling water? If it happens to be polycarbonate I'd prefer to avoid it, on the assumption that the compound Bisphenol-A would dissolve in the water.

Well it is a poly made product. BPA I thought is mainly in softer plastics. But the unit works well and dose what it's supposed to do.

It says on the back that it is a polycarbonate coating, and that it contains pertroleum distillates.

It is a heavy duty plastic resin. Fantasy Flight takes pride in their details of all the pieces they create. It is about the size and width of a standard keyboard. If you are collecting to display it is something way better than you could ever get from Bradford exchange or other sources.

It is Ptfe and pfoa free. It is not ceramic, but is environmentally friendly.

It is slightly flexible, but not to the extent that you would wrap it around anything. Polycarbonate can be bent when heated, but you would need a heat strip or heat gun.

I believe it's rubberized plastic. Looks like it will last quite a long time.

Sally, don't know for sure, but being a retired Chemical Engineer who worked with polymers (plastic and rubber) all his working life, my guess for the materials used to make the bacon cooker would be a polycarbonate with an inorganic powder filler like titanium dioxide or calcium carbonate. What is your specific concern?

I was concerned about this too. Apparently, none of the Japanese bento makers use polycarbonate, the plastic that BPA is found in. Here's a good link to all things bento: http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-basics/what-are-japanese-plastic-bento-boxes-made-of. And here's the buying-guide to plastics: http://www.thegreenguide.com/buying-guide/plastic-containers I've just emailed Zojirushi directly - I'll post their response as soon as I receive it.

I know, right! I don't think she has a clue! Well, I'm thinking that if it's safe to sell it in 49 other states, then it can't be all that bad. I have the merchandise right here and the tag reads that everything is BPA free and does not contain Polycarbonate or Epoxy. So.... I am still clueless about the Prop warning, but the actual product seems to be safe to use. Hope this helps! It will be interesting how they respond to you! Hopefully, it will be a different customer service rep!
