Frequently Asked Questions
Our semi-rigid PVC extrusion compounds are engineered for high-performance industrial applications across South Africa. We’ve provided answers to common queries below:
Semi-rigid PVC compounds are designed for applications that require a balance between rigidity and flexibility. They are typically used in specialised end products such as floor tiles for gyms or workshops, lawn mowers and utility wheels, and gabion systems.
These applications require materials that can maintain structural integrity while still offering a degree of impact resistance and durability, making semi-rigid compounds a highly specific solution within the PVC spectrum.
Quality is non-negotiable at IPC. We manufacture every batch of semi-rigid PVC compound to meet exacting SABS-aligned standards and ISO-certified processes. They are compliant with REACH/RoHS and are in accordance with SAVA’s Product Stewardship Commitments. We also use high-grade resins and stabilisers to ensure consistency.
Our semi-rigid PVC compounds are formulated to deliver strong mechanical performance and long-term durability. Depending on the application, additives such as UV stabilisers can be incorporated to enhance performance in outdoor or high-exposure environments.
The material can also offer good resistance to chemicals and wear, helping maintain its structure and functionality across demanding industrial applications.
Yes. We provide colour-matching services and can fine-tune the hardness of the semi-rigid extrusion compound to meet your exact engineering specifications, ensuring the material integrates perfectly with your existing tooling.
