Flexible PVC RYT® Compounds for FOOTWEAR

The footwear industry requires materials with high mechanical resistance, efficiency in processing, innovation and superior appearance. PVC RYT® compounds are tailor-made to meet these demands.

The formulation of PVC compounds corresponds to the process under which polyvinyl chloride is modified by adding other ingredients and allows the use a great variety of plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants, colorants and other modifiers.
