Unplasticised PVC compounds manufactured in Europe and supplied to UK processors — engineered for outstanding weatherability, UV resistance, and long-term dimensional stability across construction and building product applications.
Rigid PVC — also known as uPVC or unplasticised PVC — is the dominant polymer in UK building and construction products. Its unique combination of weatherability, fire retardancy, chemical resistance, and cost-effectiveness has made it the material of choice for window profiles, pipe systems, cladding, roofline products, and rainwater goods for over 50 years.
Our rigid PVC compounds are manufactured by established European compounders and supplied directly to UK processors. Every formulation is engineered for consistent extrusion or injection moulding performance — with optimised stabiliser systems, impact modifiers, processing aids, and pigmentation to meet your exact application requirements.
From high-impact window profile compounds to UV-stabilised cladding formulations, we source the full range of rigid PVC grades — supported by batch-level QC certification, full REACH compliance documentation, and technical support from our UK-based team.
Rigid PVC offers a unique combination of properties that make it the preferred material for long-life building and construction products.
Exceptional resistance to UV degradation, moisture, and temperature cycling. Correctly formulated rigid PVC products maintain their appearance and mechanical properties for 30+ years in UK outdoor conditions.
Inherently flame retardant with a limiting oxygen index of approximately 45%. Self-extinguishing when the flame source is removed, without the need for additional fire retardant additives.
Highly resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, and hydrocarbons. This makes rigid PVC ideal for pipe, drainage, and chemical containment applications where long-term media resistance is essential.
Low thermal expansion coefficient and minimal moisture absorption ensure tight dimensional tolerances are maintained over time — critical for window profiles and precision-extruded sections.
Impact performance is highly tuneable through modifier selection. High-impact grades exceed the requirements of BS EN 12608 for window profiles, even at low ambient temperatures.
Produces high-quality gloss and matt surface finishes directly from the die. Accepts foiling, lamination, and co-extrusion for woodgrain and coloured finishes on profiles and cladding.
Rigid PVC dominates the UK building products market — here's where our European-manufactured compounds are performing on production lines across the country.
Casement, tilt & turn, flush sash, and commercial framing systems. High-impact, UV-stabilised compounds with Class S classification to BS EN 12608 for the UK climate.
Soil, waste, underground drainage, and pressure pipe systems. Compounds engineered for consistent wall thickness, weld line strength, and long-term pressure performance to BS EN standards.
Fascias, soffits, external cladding, and decorative trims. UV-stabilised formulations with excellent colour retention and resistance to chalking over decades of outdoor exposure.
Guttering, downpipes, hoppers, and rainwater goods. Impact-modified compounds that withstand freeze-thaw cycling, ladder loading, and the mechanical demands of installation.
Surface trunking, mini trunking, and conduit systems for electrical installations. Self-extinguishing formulations meeting the fire performance requirements of BS EN 61386.
Skirting, architrave, corner trims, cavity closers, and bespoke sections. Custom-engineered compounds matched to your specific extrusion tooling and end-use performance requirements.
European-manufactured rigid PVC compounds covering the full spectrum of building and construction applications — from high-impact window profiles to cost-effective general-purpose extrusion grades.

uPVC · Standard · White / Custom
Cost-effective general-purpose rigid PVC for trunking, trims, internal profiles, and non-structural applications. Reliable processing performance and a competitive price point for volume applications.
Primary method for window, door, cladding, and roofline products. All compounds optimised for twin-screw extrusion with consistent die swell and calibration behaviour.
Single and twin-screw pipe extrusion for soil, waste, drainage, and pressure systems. Formulated for uniform wall thickness and reliable weld line performance.
Fittings, junction boxes, and moulded components. Injection-grade rigid PVC with optimised flow characteristics for complete cavity fill and short cycle times.
Multi-layer profile and sheet co-extrusion. Compatible cap-stock and substrate grades for cost-optimised structures with premium surface finishes.
Rigid PVC building products require no painting, staining, or sealing — dramatically reducing lifetime maintenance costs compared to timber, aluminium, or composite alternatives.
Correctly formulated uPVC products deliver decades of reliable performance in UK outdoor conditions. BBA-certified compounds provide documented evidence of long-term durability.
PVC is inherently flame retardant with no additional fire retardant additives required — simplifying formulation, reducing cost, and meeting building regulations without compromise.
Competitive raw material cost, efficient processing, and zero maintenance make rigid PVC the most cost-effective material choice across the lifecycle of most building product applications.
Rigid PVC is one of the most recycled polymers in the construction sector. End-of-life windows, pipes, and profiles can be reprocessed into new products — supporting circular economy commitments.
Every compound we supply is manufactured by established European compounders with advanced process control — giving you access to world-class formulation expertise and consistent production quality.
