Based on the customer’s request and specifications for mechanical-physical properties, we are able to prepare PVC granulate (softened or non-softened), which can (based on agreement) consist of 100% primary raw materials, 100% secondary materials or a combination of both.
The development and subsequent evaluation can be carried out in our new laboratory equipment according to commonly established standards.
