Flexible PVC (Gama Synvinyl)
Plasticised PVC compounds with excellent durability and finish.
Description
Synvinyl flexible PVC compounds are formulated with phthalate-free resins to produce articles that combine flexibility, mechanical strength and durability. Our SIC and SIE grades are available in compact, expanded and micro-expanded versions, with a choice of hardness levels, densities and finishes to suit each application. The range includes opaque and transparent options, as well as lower-density formulations for lighter parts. Our technical team can help you select the most suitable material for your product and manufacturing process.
