Unsafe plastics?

[shecter]

I'm starting a project. I was wondering if there was any types of plastics that aren't reef safe? What I'm using I made as medical tubing but I wanted to be sure before I nuked my tank for not asking first.

The worst I know that can happen from plastic is it leaching phosphates... Certain ones anyways... For the most part it's all safe that I know of and I'm in the plastic industry... Hth

Thanks. I figured since its ment to go into someone's body it should be fine. Glad to get the second opinion though.
