Today, many production processes and product designs require the flexibility of PVC compounds. This need manifests itself in different sectors, such as electronic equipment, automotive parts or everyday consumer goods. High-quality, flexible PVC compounds fulfil the expectations of manufacturers thanks to their durability, versatility and long service life.

Let's take a look at what makes flexible PVC compounds so functional.

Wide Application Area with Design Flexibility

Flexible PVC compound developed by LYS Polychem easily adapts to different forms thanks to its bending and stretching properties. Thanks to this feature, it offers solutions to different design needs such as gaskets, hoses, shoe soles, boots and toys. In addition, these compounds show high performance in special profile designs and applications that need to adapt to narrow spaces.

In areas where rigid plastics are limited, flexible PVC compounds offer manufacturers a wide range of functional and aesthetic possibilities. Any desired colouring, texturing or formula change with additives can be easily applied. Thus, both the appearance and durability of the final product can be increased.

Top Performance in Endurance

Flexible PVC granule compounds offer flexibility as well as strong resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Our formulations developed against UV rays, humidity, chemicals, heat and mechanical stresses make a difference with long-lasting use and low maintenance requirements.

The flexible structure of the material minimises the risk of cracking and fatigue, especially in applications requiring gaskets, cable sheaths and dynamic movement. This means reliability in the field and high resistance to time.

Cost Advantages And Production Efficiency

PVC compound types that have a soft and flexible structure are fully compatible with modern production techniques such as extrusion and injection. These structures, which allow continuous production, create less material waste than traditional molding methods and save time/cost in the production process.

Easy to integrate into automation systems, our compounds enhance process comfort and support operational efficiency. Furthermore, many of our formulations are recyclable. This offers a significant advantage for companies that adopt sustainable production goals.

Material Selection Shaping the User Experience

Not only the appearance of a product, but also its feel at the moment of contact and its performance in use play an important role in user perception. In applications such as hoses, cable sheaths, household appliances or vehicle interior parts, the softness, flexibility and graspability of the material used is one of the first details to be noticed.

Properties such as surface texture, gloss and elasticity can be precisely adjusted with plasticisers, additives and stabilisers. Thus, the final product is both functional and offers a quality impression.

Flexibility Suitable for Application Area

PVC is a highly orientable material whose flexibility can be tailored to specific technical needs. Whether for rigid profiles or applications requiring high flexibility, the right formulation ensures optimum results in the production process.

In agriculture, construction or heavy-duty industries, there are many examples where flexibility means not only comfort, but also safety and durability. In such applications, the material's resistance to cracking, shrinkage or deformation is critical.

The Right Formula for Long-Term Performance

The durability of a product is measured not only by its function but also by its resistance to environmental conditions. Resistance to factors such as temperature changes, UV rays, chemical contact and physical abrasion becomes a priority, especially in outdoor or intensive use applications.

It is important to customize the formulation according to these effects to extend product life, reduce maintenance needs and increase user satisfaction.

Popular Application Areas: Which Products Are They Used In?

Flexible PVC compounds are widely used in many sectors thanks to their properties. Many products we encounter in daily life are produced with these compounds. Prominent examples are:

• Rubber boots / rain boots

• Casual shoe soles

• Plastic pipes

• Garden hoses

• Floor coverings

• Sanitary fittings

• Holding/gripping elements (grips)

Flexible PVC granules are widely used in the footwear industry as well as in the production of medical products and automotive parts. For these versatile applications, LYS Polychem offers a selection of high quality flexible PVC compounds. You can contact us for the most suitable product for your application.
