What is PVC compound? Choosing flexible and rigid grades

PVC compound is PVC resin formulated with suitable additives for a defined process and end use. Granules or other supply forms can be selected to suit the line. Appearance alone does not distinguish flexible from rigid PVC; formulation and target properties matter.

Choosing flexible and rigid PVC

For flexible applications, target Shore hardness, flexibility, migration and ageing matter. Rigid profiles or pipes may prioritise dimensional stability, impact and processing conditions. Include end use, process type, colour and acceptance criteria in an enquiry. Plan sample testing followed by a pilot run; do not substitute typical technical values for your finished-product specification.
