Flexible Injection Compound
We specialise in the manufacturing of flexible injection compound for a variety of uses, including safety shoes, gumboots, shoe soles and slip-slop straps.
Our PVC flexible injection compound is of exceptionally high quality and meets all industry standards. We have over thirty years of experience in the industry and supply our flexible injection compound to a wide range of both national and international manufacturers for various applications, including automotive parts and footwear. But the majority of our supply goes to the construction sector for applications like gaskets, pipes, and fittings.
Features
Flexible compounds are well-known for their provision of elasticity and versatility. Our compounds are specially formulated for a variety of applications, and customers can specify an array of features, including hardness, colour, oil resistance and UV stability.
The end result of the merchandise will all depend on the client’s needs. Essentially, we can custom-formulate any Flexible Injection Compound that our customer desires and fit their specifications, based on their end product, precisely.

Most of our clients produce PVC products in the form of footwear, but the Flexible PVC Injection Compound can also be used in the production of various industrial products and household goods among other products.
Footwear
Our Flexible PVC compounds are currently being used in an assortment of footwear applications, including slippers, safety shoes, gumboots, casual shoes, military boots, and school shoes. These can come in an array of colours and styles. All our PVC compounds are formulated in accordance with REACH & RoHS compliance.
We manufacture footwear compounds for use in harsh industrial environments and weather conditions, with some of our compound features including chemical, oil, petrol, UV and slip resistance.
For more casual footwear, we can manufacture compounds in a variety of colours to match the exact colour of the customer’s requirements. We can also provide compounds for footwear that include a blowing agent. The blowing agent decreases the density and thus the weight of the shoe. This also provides a cushion-like feel to the end product. In some cases, we can even ensure that the end product has a certain scent!
Footwear applications include
- Gumboots
- Casual Shoes
- Safety Shoes
- School Shoes
- Rain Boots
- Fashion Shoes
- Military Boots
- Shoe Soles/Straps
FAQs
Yes, we can adjust formulations to achieve a specific density that is required. This adjustment makes the product either heavier (higher SG) or lighter (lower SG) and also can affect the yield, resulting in either less or more end product, respectively. Each formulation is tested to ensure an accurate and relative balance between weight, flexibility, and performance.
We work closely with pigment and masterbatch suppliers to ensure that the product is UV stabilised according to the specific requirements of the end product.
The inclusion of a scent has no impact on processing or material performance. The compound retains its designed hardness, flexibility, and durability. The only difference is that both the factory environment and the finished product carry the added fragrance, creating a more pleasant user and production experience.
Our compounds are supplied with a single, consistent hardness. Dual-hardness or multi-layer parts are created during the manufacturing process — not at the compounding stage. For example, product manufacturers often use dual extrusion or co-moulding to combine two different hardness grades into one part. This ensures each layer performs its specific function, while our compound provides reliable, set hardness as the base material.
Our product range covers the complete hardness scale, including all Shore A and Shore D values. This wide range gives us the flexibility to tailor compounds for different applications: softer materials provide comfort, cushioning, and bendability, while harder materials deliver strength, rigidity, and wear resistance. We can ensure the right balance of flexibility and durability for your end use by matching hardness to your needs.
When plasticisers migrate out of a material, its hardness and flexibility can change. Over the long term, this may lead to cracking, reduced durability, or failure in demanding applications. Good resistance to migration ensures the product keeps its designed properties and remains reliable in use.
Yes. We can adapt formulations to meet additional local or international standards, including military specifications or industrial safety regulations, ensuring your products remain compliant in your target markets.
Quality control is built into every stage of production. Each batch is tested for hardness, colour, and density to ensure identical results across large-scale orders, keeping products uniform from start to finish.
No. Recycling does sacrifice various quality aspects of the end product. Therefore, blending recycled material with virgin compound can affect the lifespan of the product.
