Footwear

 Whether you're selecting materials for casual sandals, rainboots or industrial footwear, our line of Apex® Flexible PVC can match the specific performance characteristics you seek. Available in a range of hardnesses and in REACH and California Prop 65 compliant formulations, our compounds can be matched to any exact color and with visual effects such as metallic and pearlesence. 

For footwear facing the harsh environment of industrial settings, we offer PVC compounds with superior chemical and abrasion resistance. Casual footwear and sandals that need a softer, more comfortable material will benefit from our line of materials formulated with foaming agents, which produce a cushion-like, flexible product.

Furniture

Our extensive portfolio of PVC components of furniture and trim offer superior performance characteristics for both indoor and outdoor use. We also offer PVC compounds with non-whitening properties, ensuring that the bumpers, trim and straps made with these materials will not discolor or turn white when bent or strained. These compounds can be formulated with non-migratory plasticizers to promote excellent adhesion ability.

For indoor furniture applications, the flexible vinyl compounds that Teknor Apex offers provide exceptional durability and abrasion and mar resistance, in both low and high gloss formulations. Also available are REACH and California Prop 65 compliant compounds as well as low VOC grades. Our compounds for outdoor use are formulated with UV resistance to prevent fading and anti-fungal additives to prolong the lifespan of products in wet environments.
