Based on the shine differences in the first picture I think it's PUL, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now :) </p> <p>Thanks, ladies! I've only put it in the dryer when I *really* needed a dry bag, but I guess it was enough to damage it. Hopefully it will last us a little longer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pul-separating#post-430788 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:18:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 430788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just found this interesting description of PUL vs TPU. I guess anything with PUL wouldn't actually melt back down but TPU might? </p> <p><a href="http://myclothdiaperstash.com/pul-vs-tpu-delaminating-the-differences/" rel="nofollow">http://myclothdiaperstash.com/pul-vs-tpu-delaminating-the-differences/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pul-separating#post-430777 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:16:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 430777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>was it dried in the dryer? It shouldn't but sometimes heat can cause that; as well as using vinegar repeatedly while washing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pul-separating#post-430775 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:16:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 430775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe it is call "delaminating". Basically, the plastic covering (the stuff that makes it water proof) coming away from the fabric. </p> <p>Some sites say that a good run through the drier on a high heat setting can "melt" the plastic back down. However, extended drying can cause delamination so its a bit of a catch22. </p> <p>I try to line dry anything with PUL but then will put in the drier just on occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pul-separating#post-430723 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:59:49 +0000 Weagle 430723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CD moms, I noticed that the PUL on my wetbag is separating. It's like the shiny layer is pulling away from the fabric in some places. Is this to be expected? Do I need to replace the wetbag? </p>
