Compound & Additive Portfolio

We work with a wide range of polymers to meet evolving industry needs. Our journey began in the 1980s, formulating flame-retardant PVC compounds, and quickly expanded into a broader set of polymer technologies.

As the demand for faster data and reliable energy transmission grew, we developed a comprehensive material portfolio tailored for cable engineers—supporting applications from power and control to signal and communication, all while meeting rigorous global fire performance standards.

Over time, our portfolio has grown through both innovation and strategic acquisition. In areas where products overlap, we’ve preserved heritage brand names to ensure continuity for our customers—especially those with existing product approvals—while continuing to offer trusted performance backed by decades of material expertise.

The brand names GARAFLEX, GARATHANE, MEGOLON, MEXIFLEX, POLIVISOL, SMOKEGUARD, SYLVIN, VINAPRENE, and VINASTAB are trademarks of Alphagary/Mexichem.
