Plasticised PVC compounds manufactured by leading European compounders and supplied to UK processors — engineered for consistent flexibility, durability, and regulatory compliance across cable, sealing, and industrial applications.
Flexible PVC — also known as plasticised PVC or pPVC — is created by adding plasticisers to PVC resin, transforming it from a rigid material into a soft, flexible compound. The type and level of plasticiser can be precisely controlled to achieve a specific hardness, flexibility, and temperature performance — making pPVC one of the most tuneable polymers available to manufacturers.
Our flexible PVC compounds are manufactured by established European compounders with decades of formulation expertise. Every grade is produced under strict quality control with full REACH compliance — meaning no restricted plasticisers, complete regulatory documentation, and batch-to-batch consistency you can rely on for your production line.
From low-smoke cable sheathing to weather-resistant sealing profiles, we supply the full range of plasticised PVC compounds — all sourced from Europe, delivered to the UK, and supported by our technical team throughout the specification and supply process.
Flexible PVC delivers a tuneable balance of softness, durability, and environmental resistance — making it suitable for an exceptionally broad range of applications.
Hardness tuneable from 40 Shore A (very soft and rubbery) to 95 Shore A (semi-rigid), giving manufacturers precise control over the feel, flexibility, and performance of the finished product.
Good resistance to UV exposure, moisture, and temperature cycling when correctly formulated. UV-stabilised grades maintain flexibility and colour over extended outdoor service life.
Outstanding dielectric properties make flexible PVC the dominant insulation and sheathing material for low-voltage cables. Formulations available to meet BS, IEC, and European cable standards.
Good resistance to wear and surface abrasion, enhanced in harder formulations. Suitable for flooring, hose, and protective coverings subject to repeated mechanical contact.
Good resistance to water, dilute acids, and alkalis. Resistance to oils and solvents depends on plasticiser type — specialist grades available for applications requiring enhanced media resistance.
Inherent flame retardancy from the PVC backbone. Low-smoke, halogen-free alternatives available, as well as fire-retardant grades meeting CPR (Construction Products Regulation) cable classifications.
From cable insulation to industrial hose, plasticised PVC is trusted across dozens of sectors for its reliability, processability, and cost-effectiveness.
The dominant material for low-voltage cable insulation and outer sheathing. Formulated to meet BS 6004, BS 7655, and IEC 60502 with consistent dielectric and mechanical performance.
Window gaskets, door seals, compression seals, and weatherstripping. Flexible PVC delivers consistent sealing performance over years of compression cycling and temperature variation.
Garden hose, industrial hose, suction and delivery tubing, and medical-grade tubing. Clear and coloured formulations with controlled flexibility and media resistance.
Roofing membranes, pond liners, geomembranes, and protective sheeting. Flexible PVC sheet offers excellent weldability, tear resistance, and long-term weathering performance.
Flexible co-extruded profiles, edge trims, bumper strips, and decorative inserts. Processed alongside rigid PVC in dual-durometer extrusion for composite profile applications.
Conveyor belt covers, vibration dampeners, protective sleeving, and moulded grips. Harder pPVC grades bridge the gap between flexible rubber and rigid thermoplastics.
European-manufactured plasticised PVC compounds spanning the full hardness range — from soft, rubbery gasket grades to semi-rigid technical compounds.

pPVC · Tailored to Application
Bespoke flexible PVC compounds developed to your exact specification. Custom plasticiser systems, hardness targets, fire performance, colour matching, and regulatory compliance — all sourced from European manufacturing partners.
Primary method for cable, profiles, tubing, and sheet. All compounds optimised for consistent melt behaviour, die swell, and surface finish on single and twin-screw extruders.
Moulded grips, caps, seals, and flexible components. Injection-grade flexible PVC with controlled flow characteristics for complete fill and consistent part quality.
Film, sheet, and membrane production. Calendering-grade compounds with precise melt viscosity and thermal stability for uniform gauge control across wide webs.
Dual-durometer profiles combining rigid and flexible PVC in a single pass. Soft-touch grips, flexible sealing lips, and composite weatherseals for window and door systems.
Hardness, flexibility, elongation, and temperature performance can all be precisely controlled through plasticiser type and loading — giving you a custom material without custom pricing.
Flexible PVC delivers rubber-like performance at thermoplastic processing speeds and material costs — significantly more economical than silicone, EPDM, or thermoplastic elastomers for most applications.
Extrusion, injection moulding, calendering, dip coating, rotational moulding — flexible PVC can be processed on virtually any thermoplastic processing equipment, offering unmatched manufacturing flexibility.
Decades of field service across cable, construction, and industrial applications prove that correctly formulated flexible PVC delivers reliable, long-term performance in demanding environments.
All compounds we supply use REACH-registered plasticisers with full regulatory documentation. No restricted phthalates, no compliance risk — just clean, documented supply from trusted European manufacturers.
Every grade is manufactured by established European compounders with advanced quality control and formulation expertise — giving you consistent, specification-grade material backed by full batch traceability.
Whether you need cable-grade compound, soft gasket material, or a bespoke formulation, our team is ready to discuss your requirements and source the right European-manufactured compound for your production line.
