PVC COMPOUND TYPE A-SKINNING
about the product
PVC Compound Type-A (Skinning Type) is a thermoplastic material specially formulated for use in the skin layer of co-extruded profiles, most commonly used in the manufacture of artificial leather, automotive interiors, and decorative films. This compound is developed to offer high surface finish, excellent printability, and superior weather resistance. It is a pre-compounded blend of PVC resin, plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, and functional additives, tailored for skinning or top-layer applications where aesthetic and tactile properties are critical.
1. PVC compounds are often available in a range of hardness levels, typically 65 to 95 Shore A, making them suitable for various flexible to semi-rigid applications
.
2. Good mechanical strength and durability
3. Flexibility
4. Matt or wet-dry skid-resistant finish
5. Low-temperature flexibility
6. Abrasion resistance
7. Resistance to oils, fuels, hydrocarbons, and chemical exposure

8. Marine-grade or UV-resistant variants include UV stability, good adhesion, high impact resistance, and self-extinguishing properties
1. Footwear (soles)
2..Extrusion or molding components—such as tubing, pipes, profiles, sheets, and footwear
.
3. Marine and inflatable components (bumpers, tubes)
.
4. Electrical and cable insulation, building/construction, automotive parts, and toys
1. Packaging formats vary but commonly include:
I. 25 kg HDPE or multi-wall bags for compounds like footwear-grade PVC
.
2. On a broader scale, export records show quantities:
I. Bags, boxes, pallets, or in metric tonnes (MTS) for large-scale industrial shipments
.
3. Internal processing steps generally involve mixing into dry blend sachets or converting into pellets/granules for extrusion/molding
1. Some compounds align with standards such as:
I. IS-5831 (Indian Standard) for specific applications like medical tubing or saline bags
.
2. Others may conform to ISO, JIS, JASO standards for broader industrial usage
.
3. In export, HSN code 39042200 classifies PVC compounds, often with additional descriptors like flame retardant or soft grades
1. PVC compounds can be customized for:
I. UV resistance for outdoor/marine use
II. Flame resistance and low-smoke for safety-critical environments
