What is Vinyl Doing To Fight The War on Terror (and Janitors)?

The Rvinyl Team! usually tries to steer clear of any subject matter that could be seen as controversial in any way. This makes sense since we don't want to piss you-our potential customers-off until well after you've bought and paid for something. Notwithstanding my better judgement, earlier this morning I received an email from The Rvinyl Team! member Ghoti asking just what The Rvinyl Team!'s contribution to the WAR ON TERROR is. Initially I was completely dumbfounded; I mean, it's not as if the US Army has contact us about making dash kits for their Humvee's (although we have made a few custom text windshield decals for Hummers in general). But, as I got to thinking about it I realized that, as The Vinyl Institute has sagely stated, "vinyl has infinite uses" so why can't some of the uses be extremely misguided and violent? Well, not only is vinyl cool but it's also potentially deadly as is evidenced by the plagiarism below:

Air-droppable blood bags, portable hangars, airplane wraps, toxic substance detectors, decontamination showers. Wondering what connects all of these objects used in today’s troubled times? The answer is vinyl. Whether used in military applications or anti-terrorism (Italics courtesy of The Rvinyl Team!) devices, vinyl saves lives and property.

Vinyl Terror Tent

The image above was stolen from The Vinyl Institute. It is intended to "protect valuable military equipment" from terrorists. I, therefore, feel that VINYL TERROR TENT is perhaps the most apt and dramatic name for this sweet vinyl application.

Now, after further reading, I discovered that vinyl (in its infinite uses) is not simply limited to fighting terror but it also comes highly recommended by janitors, postal employees and people making crank in clandestine mobile home labs in Pontotoc, Mississippi. Let's see what Monsterjanitorial.com has to say about the wonder material we know as vinyl:

Using vinyl gloves is a common practice in any industry where bacteria and viruses can be transmitted. The food service industry is a large user of vinyl gloves because they are very affordable and extremely effective at preventing the spread of germs, bacteria and viruses. Vinyl gloves are economical and stronger than latex gloves. The vinyl used in vinyl gloves is a synthetic polymer than is more resistant to tearing and puncture than latex. Used widely in the food preparation and food handling industries vinyl gloves can give you an almost bare hand feel when grasping items. Unlike latex, vinyl is a synthetic substance that very rarely causes an allergic reaction. Vinyl gloves are also used widely in the cleaning industry as barrier against bacteria and infection in restroom and hazardous biological material cleanup.

Vinyl gloves come in a variety of sizes and come in both powdered and powder free forms. Powder is added to some types of vinyl gloves so that they are easier to put on and the powder can also help in preventing perspiration of the hands. It is an industry wide standard that there are usually 100 gloves per box and the one glove will fit both hands. Glove sizes range from small to medium. Small gloves will fit a hand size of 8 and below. Medium vinyl gloves will fit a hand size of 9. Large vinyl gloves are suited for a hand size of 10 and extra large gloves are to be used for hand sizes of 12 and above.

Vinyl gloves and latex gloves are now being used by the US Postal Service as a precaution against terrorism. Vinyl gloves act as a barrier against viruses, bacteria and germs that could potentially be sent in letters and packages. Overall vinyl gloves are an effective way to stay safe in an unsafe world.

Just imagine how much more hygienic your vehicle's dash will be with an Rvinyl vinyl dash kit. Furthermore, during shipment through the US Postal Service, your vinyl kit will be handled by people wearing vinyl gloves affording them an added level of protection! You see, it's a win-win scenario for everyone except the dirty terrorists!

So, what have we learned? In short we've learned that you should feel secure when purchasing Rvinyl products because the material from which they are made is in some way related to things which, when used in an approved fashion, can aide in the prevention of bacterial and viral infections, is capable of protecting valuable military equipment and can hold somebody's blood amongst many other infinite uses which I do not have the time to delineate.
