PVC Compound : A compound is defined as a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together. But how does PVC resin transform to vinyl compound? New compound formulations are developed to meet an application requirement or a processing limitation. Chemists and formulation engineers create custom compounds by blending a variety of additives, modifiers and stabilizers with PVC resin to achieve specific properties. Flexible PVC Compounds are formulated to meet performance requirements for applications such as medical tubing, electrical wiring, automotive body side molding, and garden hose just to mention a few. They are also formulated with our customer’s processability needs in mind. Flexible PVC compounds contain plasticizers, softening agents which help give them “rubber like” properties.
