I have noticed that the wood look uses rPET or recycled polyethylene terephthalate from water bottles as the top coat.  Does the rPET leach out and/or outgas the heavy mental antimony that is used in the manufacturing of PET.  Antimony is a heavy metal that is a suspected carcinogen.  Since PET in general is considered a one time use plastic that when heated or scratched can possibility release this heavy metal.  Since this is a top coat in the cork wood grain product, which has high scratch resistance and I assume no issues with heat, is there any possibility of Antimony being released into the air and/or leaching?  Thanks!

    No, according to the head tech guy at Amorim, it does not leach out or off-gas any heavy metals.
