Recommendations for new headlining material?

. However, PVC in its basic state is hard and inflexible, so it's commonly compounded with other chemicals (plasticisers) to make it soft and flexible. One group of these plasticisers - phthalates - can mimic female hormones, and are associated with reduced fertility in men. The problem with plasticisers is that they aren't chemically bonded to the PVC, and can leach out; they may also be released as a result of UV action, which is why some PVC covers become sticky over time.

I knew I had read that the plasticizers can mimic female hormones,

Thanks for that
