TURNING VERSATILE PLASTICS INTO HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLYMERS
Thermoplastic materials are always in high demand because of their versatility. They are used across a wide variety of industries and applications worldwide. Americhem takes base resins like PVC, SEBS and polypropylene, and makes them better. Through careful analysis and selection, we mix these resins with different ratios and combinations of product additives to create high-performance thermoplastics with desired structural integrity, impact strength, flame retardance, chemical resistance, UV resistance and other enhanced physical properties.
Need to achieve exact color duplication with excellent dispersion? Our thermoplastic compounding capabilities include color additive formulas that will produce a consistent quality appearance that endures for the life of your product.
No matter how challenging the application, our material experts will arrive at the right combination of materials to deliver a durable thermoplastic compound that helps strengthen your position in the marketplace.

OUR THERMOPLASTIC COMPOUND PRODUCT LINES
Sevrene® Thermoplastic Elastomers
These easy-to-process styrenic block copolymers can be customized for ideal stiffness, heat, ozone, compression set or UV-resistance, cost-reduction properties, and provide soft-touch haptics for enhanced end-use feel.
Cerberon™ Thermoplastic Elastomers
These alloyed elastomers combine plastic and small particles of vulcanized rubber to expand use temperature, ease processing, and provide good heat aging and flex fatigue.
Uravin™ Specialty Alloy
Ideal for high-use molded parts, this product family exhibits rubber-like properties with a dry, soft-touch feel similar to leather. It’s scuff-resistant, scratch-resistant and impact-resistant. Uravin™ offers excellent color retention when exposed to harsh temperatures and UV rays.
Flexovin™ Flexible Vinyl Compounds
These flexible compounds offer a strong balance of elastomeric properties and ease of coloring with the option of higher rigidity as needed.
V-Series Automotive Vinyl Compounds
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of interior automotive environments, this product line is suitable for extrusion and injection molding, and can be tailored for specific gloss and flow.
Trivin™ Series of rigid PVC Compounds and Alloys
This rigid and semi-rigid line of PVC compounds and alloys has superior flow characteristics that allow thin-wall parts to be produced via extrusion or injection molding.
eCap™ High-Performance Capstock
Available in a variety of material blends, these capstock compounds offer advanced weathering performance, dimensional stability and durability for decking, fencing, and other extruded building product applications.
Oleflex™ Thermoplastic Olefin
Developed as blends of polypropylene (hard phase) with an ethylene-propylene rubber (soft phase) compounded with additive packages, Oleflex™ provides a good cost and performance balance for flexible to semi-rigid parts.
BRINGING RELIABILITY AND COLOR TO THE FOREFRONT
