Hello! Can you please tell me what material these are made from? Are they BPA, PVC and LATEX free? Also do they get mold or mildew build up? Thank you

I don't know what they are made from, but there is a website on the package for questions... www.slipxsolutions.com try that. As for mold & mildew..I have not had a problem with them at all. I clean my tub out once a week and it gets much use. I love them!! Hope that helps!

I have not had any problem with mold or mildew. I don't know what material they are made from. All I know is they work for my handicapped husband.

i'm sorry but i can't tell you what they are made of because i don't have the packaging anymore. i can say i have had no mold or mildew build up. i do use a daily shower/tub spray which may help. i actually when back and made mention that they don't say what they are made of in the 'what did we miss' section so maybe they will say in the future.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

I don't know what they're made of but they're not latex because I'm allergic to latex. I've been using them since August and have had no problems with mold or mildew and they are still stuck securely to the bottom of the tub. And I'll admit I'm not one to clean my tub once a week ..... But it get's used every day several times a day..

I can't remember if they are latex free but I am sensitive to latex and haven't had a problem. They do not get mold or mildew build up. I put them in my show ( it was a skating rink before I got them!). Just clean them weekly and they are as good as new.

I have no idea what they are made of. They do not stain nor do they get mold or mildew and do not discolor. Some type of plastic but durable. Love them!!!!

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!

They must be plastic. They are marked "Not Oven Safe" They are marked "BPA Free". The do not appear to be as flexible as silicone and the center viewing window is a semi flexible clear plastic.

On the box it says "vinyl" so I assume they are latex free. It does not state anywhere an the box that they are latex free but I do not think they make gloves mixing vinyl and latex it is either or. I also think they make them vinyl for those who are allergic to the latex. I was buying them to use in my daycare years ago just in case I had a child with the allergy so I assume they are latex free. You could always try to get in touch with the company if you didn't want to chance it.

They are plastic - which I consider a plus. This is my second time purchasing this set. Our previous therapist liked them so much she decided to take them with her when she left. The plastic material is very durable, clear, does not get cloudy with repeated use or cleaning, and the edges are very smooth for a good suction and no scratching of client. I am very satisfied with the quality and value of this set. Hope that helps.

There're is no PVC. They are made of a water resistant fabric that is washable. It doesn't say on the packaging what it is...but feels like nylon. They are a tightly woven fabric which seems very durable, such as the type of material that would be in a raincoat. Hope this helps.

I'm honestly not too sure about the first part but I believe they are PVC free. I would do some searching around to find out. I double sleeve religiously with any sleeve so I can't attest to them damaging cards over time or anything of the like.

I just talked with customer service on the phone, and she told me that they are BPA-free. They're made of polypropylene plastic.

It appears to be a BPA free plastic. However, the lines on them are merely PAINTED on the surface. The set we received looked to be scraped in places and the lines had flaked off. You would be better off getting an all white set as these will soon turn into that after a few uses...

I just took a closer look at it and there isn't plastic, but it is hemmed towards the front for use in a shower, so water doesn't collect and mildew. I would definitely buy them because the material in pretty and has a really nice hand. If they do show under your curtains you could easily turn them around or re-hem. You gave me a great idea for the future.

BPA free sturdy plastic. I don't think you will be disappointed in these. They are awesome and would make a great wedding shower gift. I use mine all the time.

The mats I received were made of a foam rubber material and they are quite durable. When new they did have a plastic/rubber oder that has since gone away. They are washable. Just wipe with a soapy clothe, rinse and let dry.

They are "accordian" style. Need to keep them clean or you will find mold forming.

All I know is that they are PVC free. And they are made in Japan so there are high standards for manufacturing so I would assume there are no heavy metals. As for the embossing process I do not know how they do it. All I know for sure is that they are high quality and the best sleeves you can get.

Hi Lauren - from what I know in the description, it states, "Material Type: Phthalate Free, Latex Free, Lead Free, BPA Free". Hope this helps!

Hi, they are made out of a hard durable plastic. They are very easy to clean.

Christine, these are foam. 'PVC free'. Though the box does not say 'latex free'. Foam is not latex so it should be ok. I'm allergic to latex and have been using these things for 18years.
