My question is- what is the purpose of the coating, and are there other options available for this coating? I know this data would be hard to find. I am just wondering if it was an unknown, or if there were other more established coating options that were avoided as a means of saving $.

Well there is a plasticizer that is similar in structure to what the Chinese used differing in the carbon chain length. 1,5 pentanediol is a resin forming plasticizer, but the toy manufacturer used 1,4 butanediol that converts to GHB in the gut, I think. And GHB IS a narcotic. Somebody in the manufacturer's QC department really pharked up.
