These materials do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), dioxins, or plasticizers.
Dart uses UV inks on our products because they adhere to surfaces smoothly and evenly, and also contain no volatile organic compounds or heavy metals. Additionally, Dart does not make any products containing latex and latex gloves are not used in any Dart manufacturing plants.
