Polyvinyl chloride - "Vinyl" or "PVC" for short - is one of the best-known substances that is used in particular in industrial production. This raw material has become well-known primarily for floor coverings, insulation materials and, in the 20th century, for the production of records.
But that's not all. Vinyl has also been used for the production of dolls for decades, as it has prevailed over many other plastics due to its many positive properties, especially in the second half of the 20th century. Vinyl dolls are extremely resistant, for example to oil, petrol, alcohol and even acid, and the material is hygienic and washable. Using special plasticizers, the manufacturer can also vary the hardness and toughness of vinyl at will. A perfect starting material for making doll bodies.
Nowadays, mainly simple and inexpensive dolls are made of vinyl. The material is very cheap to produce, easy and quick to work with and therefore ideal for making inexpensive dolls. However, in the interest of the child, you should be careful not to buy a vinyl doll that has been made with harsh paints or plasticizers.
Rebornarts' vinyl dolls are made with high quality materials and contain no harsh paints or plasticizers so you can buy them for your kids with confidence.
Vinyl dolls are also very popular today for so-called reborning - i.e. the artistic modification of a doll so that it looks deceptively like a real baby.
