Flexalloy® PVC Elastomers

Flexalloy PVC Elastomers offer resilient performance in extreme temperatures and harsh environments. This family of compounds extends the performance of flexible PVC by providing improved abrasion resistance, chemical and oil resistance, and low temperature flexibility. Compression set resistance, rapid spring-back, and hot melt strength are other advantages of Flexalloy®. These compounds are available in very soft formulations as low as 35 Shore A and process well on standard PVC equipment.

Flexalloy® PVC Elastomers for Automotive

Durability and flexibility are two distinguishing characteristics of our Flexalloy® compounds. These abrasion resistant extrusion and molding compounds offer a lower cost offset to engineered resins for sealing systems and exterior class A surfaces.

Applications

Exterior

Flexalloy® compounds are ideal for extruded exterior moldings that improve the seal at connection points of various vehicle body components, such as roof ditch and body side molding. The durable Flexalloy® elastomers offer superior abrasion, as well as scratch and mar resistance that exterior applications demand. Additionally, their UV stability, excellent cold weather performance, and a Class A surface appearance deliver exceptional performance and quality that withstands tough outdoor conditions.

Sealing Systems

The sealing system of a vehicle must be able to withstand both constant and fluctuating pressure in order to keep liquid, air, or noise—or a combination of the three—out of the cabin. With inherent durability, excellent weatherability, and UV resistance, Flexalloy® compounds retain color and surface appearance through the rigors of frequent use, making them an ideal material for even the most challenging sealing system.
