Core Range Extrusion & Moulding

Flexible PVC

Plasticised Compounds

Plasticised PVC formulations for cable sheathing, gaskets, membranes, hose, and sealing applications. Sourced from established European compounders with full REACH compliance and consistent batch-to-batch quality.

Bespoke All Processing Methods

Custom Engineered

Bespoke Formulations

Bespoke PVC compound development from concept to full-scale supply. Colour matching, additive packages, compliance testing, and prototyping — all coordinated through our European manufacturing partners.

Our Process

Six Stages from Enquiry to Ongoing Supply

Every PVC compound project follows the same structured approach — combining UK-based technical support with European manufacturing capability to deliver exactly what your production line needs.

01

Stage One

Technical Consultation

We start by understanding your application inside out. Our team works directly with your engineers to map performance requirements, processing parameters, and regulatory constraints before any sourcing begins.

Requirements Brief Processing Audit Compliance Review

Application Review

We assess your end-use application — extruded profiles, pipe systems, cable compounds, injection moulded fittings — to understand the mechanical, thermal, and aesthetic demands of the finished product.

Processing Parameters

Your extrusion or moulding equipment, screw configuration, line speeds, and tooling are factored in from day one to ensure the compound processes without issue on your specific setup.

Regulatory Mapping

BS, EN, REACH, RoHS, BBA — we identify every standard your product needs to meet and build compliance into the material specification from the start, working with our European partners to ensure full documentation.

Grade Selection

Rigid, flexible, or custom-engineered? We recommend the right European-manufactured PVC grade based on your application requirements, processing method, cost targets, and regulatory landscape.

02

Stage Two

Specification & European Sourcing

We specify the exact PVC compound for your application — selecting the optimal resin grade, stabiliser system, additive package, and colour match from our network of established European manufacturers.

Compound Specification Technical Data Sheet Cost Analysis

Formulation & Additive Selection

Resin grade, K-value, stabiliser type, plasticiser selection, impact modifier, filler loading, and additive package — all specified to match your processing method and end-use performance targets.

Colour Matching

RAL, BS, Pantone or your own reference — matched to specification by our European compounding partners with batch-to-batch consistency built into the production process.

European Supply Chain Coordination

We manage the entire sourcing process — translating your requirements into production-ready specifications and coordinating directly with compound manufacturers across Europe for competitive pricing and reliable lead times.

Cost Engineering

We balance performance with commercial reality — optimising grade selection, leveraging European manufacturing scale, and managing logistics to deliver the best value without compromising specification.

03

Stage Three

Sampling & Line Trials

Before committing to full-volume supply, we provide sample batches from the European manufacturer for your approval and on-machine trials. We refine based on real-world processing feedback until you are completely satisfied with the result.

Sample Batches Test Certificates Trial Report

Initial Samples

Compound batches shipped directly from our European manufacturing partner for your internal testing — checking mechanical properties, thermal stability, processability, and colour against your specification before any production commitment.

Extrusion & Moulding Trials

We support on-machine trials — working with your production team to adjust parameters until output rate, surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical performance are dialled in on your specific equipment.

Refinement & Iteration

If the first sample doesn't hit the mark, we go back to the formulator. Adjustments to flow properties, impact performance, colour, or processing behaviour are made until every target is met.

Sign-Off & Approval

Full test certificates issued against the agreed specification. Nothing moves to volume supply without your written approval and confirmed satisfaction with on-line performance.

04

Stage Four

Production & Quality Control

Full-volume compounding at our European manufacturing facility with rigorous batch-level quality control. Every batch is tested, documented, and fully traceable from raw material intake through to final despatch.

Batch QC Certs Full Traceability Compliance Docs

European Manufacturing

All PVC compounds are produced at established European compounding facilities with advanced process control — ensuring consistent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and colour across every production run.

Batch Traceability

Every batch is tested and documented with full traceability from resin and additive intake through compounding, pelletising, and packing. QC certificates accompany every delivery for a complete audit trail.

Consistent Specification

Rigorous quality control at every stage of the compounding process means the material you approved in trials is the material you receive at volume. Every time, every batch, every delivery.

Regulatory Documentation

Full REACH compliance, Safety Data Sheets, technical data sheets, and any application-specific certifications are maintained and supplied as standard with every compound grade.

05

Stage Five

Logistics & UK Delivery

We manage the entire supply chain from European manufacturer to your UK production facility — handling customs, freight, scheduling, and stock management so material arrives when your line needs it.

Scheduled Delivery Stock Management Delivery Documentation

European Freight Management

We coordinate the full logistics chain from European compounding facility to your UK site — managing freight forwarding, customs clearance, and haulage to your preferred delivery windows.

Palletised Delivery

Direct to your production facility on pallets, ready for your goods-in process. All compound is properly packed and labelled for efficient handling and storage.

Flexible Scheduling

Call-off schedules, regular drops, or ad-hoc orders — we match your delivery pattern to your production rhythm so you never run short or overstock on compound.

Buffer Stock

For ongoing supply contracts, we can arrange held stock to protect against lead time variation, shipping delays, and demand spikes — keeping your extrusion or moulding line running without interruption.

06

Stage Six

Ongoing Partnership

Supply is just the start. We provide ongoing technical support, monitor compound performance over time, and proactively suggest refinements as regulations evolve, raw material markets shift, or your requirements change.

Technical Support Market Intelligence Grade Refinement

Continuous Improvement

We monitor compound performance over time and proactively recommend formulation updates to improve processability, reduce cost, or respond to changes in European regulatory requirements.

Dedicated Account Management

A single point of contact who knows your application, your processing setup, and your supply history. No call centres, no ticket systems — direct access to the person managing your account.

Market Intelligence

We keep you informed on European PVC resin pricing, raw material availability, regulatory changes, and supply chain developments that could affect your production costs or material availability.

Range Expansion

As your product range grows, we scale with you — sourcing additional PVC grades, new colours, alternative stabiliser systems, or specialist formulations to match evolving production needs.
