SYLVIN PVC compounds
PVC Compounds designed for extrusion and molding applications
SYLVIN PVC compounds are designed for extrusion and/or molding applications for a variety of applications found in automotive, consumer goods, building & construction, and industrial products. We have formulations as soft as 45A up to semi-rigid hardness, in clear or natural base. Additives such as flame resistance, low temperature flexibility, fungus, UV and chemical resistance, as well as custom color are available to incorporate in a base material. We're happy to help with material selection; just let us know how the part should perform and we will walk you through criteria to choose the best compound.
