Solve Color, Weathering, and Processing Challenges with Custom PVC Compounds

Americhem’s pre-colored PVC compounds are engineered for long-term performance in demanding environments.

Americhem designs rigid and flexible PVC compounds to meet the specific mechanical, aesthetic, and processing requirements of each application. Our compounds support extrusion, molding, and co-extrusion processes with consistent flow behavior, surface finish control, and additive compatibility.

We develop each formulation with end-use conditions in mind, whether that means exposure to UV and moisture, chemical contact, or impact over time. Color is integrated from the start, reducing secondary operations and improving production efficiency.

Applications include:

  • Exterior profiles, siding, fencing, and trim with UV and weathering demands
  • Automotive interior components requiring impact, abrasion, and chemical resistance
  • Injection molded and extruded parts with structural and dimensional stability
  • Flexible seals, wraps, and trims with durability and soft-touch performance
  • Co-extruded capstock in dark colors needing gloss control and fire rating compliance

Each Americhem PVC compound is tested in-house for performance, consistency, and appearance so your product reaches market faster and lasts longer.

Where Durability, Weatherability, and Surface Control Converge

Whether you’re engineering a capstock, molding a rigid profile, or dialing in color on a flexible wrap, Americhem PVCs are formulated to meet exacting requirements with minimal reformulation downstream.

Americhem’s PVC compounds deliver structural integrity, color stability, and manufacturing consistency across extrusion, molding, and co-extrusion environments. Built for real-world performance and validated in-house.

Structural & Dimensional Stability

Rigid and semi-rigid PVC compounds built to hold shape under stress, retain gloss, and maintain tolerances in profile or load-bearing applications.

Surface Durability & Color Retention

Formulations designed to reduce whitening, resist surface damage, and retain gloss, especially in high-visibility or dark-color profiles.

Rigid PVC (uPVC) is unplasticized, offering higher stiffness, UV durability, and structural stability, ideal for capstocks, trims, and profiles. Flexible PVC includes plasticizers, giving it softness and elasticity for seals, wraps, and soft-touch applications.

Yes. We offer precolor, dry blend, and masterbatch systems designed for brand alignment, colorfastness, and gloss control, plus woodgrain surface effects via nGrain® technology.

Our dark-color EPVC compounds are engineered for moisture whitening resistance, reduced heat build, and long-term color retention, even in UV-exposed applications like siding and trim.

Absolutely. We formulate for strong interlayer bonding, color and gloss consistency, and processing compatibility across rigid, flexible, ASA, and HDPE layers, validated in real extrusion environments.
