Phthalate-free PVC moulding: rigid or flexible components

We injection-mould components in PVC formulated without phthalates: rigid or flexible depending on the formulation, resistant to chemicals and weathering.

What is phthalate-free PVC?

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic that can be rigid or flexible depending on its formulation. Flexibility comes from plasticisers: for a long time these were mainly phthalates, several of which are now restricted under the European REACH regulation.

The PVC we mould is formulated without phthalate plasticisers. It resists water, acids, bases and weathering well and, thanks to the chlorine in its molecule, rigid PVC is inherently flame-retardant.

Properties of phthalate-free PVC

  • Good chemical resistance
  • Variable hardness (rigid or flexible)
  • Good weather resistance

Indicative continuous service temperatures for the most common grades: the exact value depends on the grade and formulation and should be checked on the data sheet of the chosen material.

What is phthalate-free PVC used for?

  • Flexible protective caps and plugs
  • Soft seals and profiles
  • Cable grommets and bushings
  • Feet and tips
  • Grips

How we mould phthalate-free PVC

PVC is moulded within a narrow temperature window: above a certain point it degrades. It therefore needs precise process control and moulds made of corrosion-resistant steels.
