Plastblend: The solution for extreme temperature challenges

The rising temperatures and climate change, particularly in Northern Europe, materials such as dark PVC products are increasingly exposed to the limits of their performance. Two crucial properties for PVC compounds play a significant role in this: the Heat Deformation Temperature (HDT) and the Vicat Softening Temperature (VST). These values determine whether a material retains its shape and does not weaken or deform under the influence of high temperatures.

Plastchem addresses this challenge with the Plastblend compounds. These advanced compounds meet the HDT and VST values and offer the ideal solution for complex product challenges from our partners, where it is crucial to maintain the rigidity of the product and prevent deformation under extreme heat. They are particularly suitable for applications such as wall cladding, facade panels for commercial buildings, and fencing panels.

Fire safety and standards
In the construction industry, compliance with stringent fire safety standards is essential. Plastblend meets these high requirements, including the Euroclass classification, which categorizes the fire behavior of materials. Plastblend compounds have been carefully tested and developed in relation to fire behavior, smoke development, and flame retardancy, making them an excellent choice for safe applications.

Sustainably Usable
In addition to their exceptional performance in extreme temperatures and positive fire properties, Plastblend compounds also have a long service life. At the end of their life cycle, the products are 100% recyclable.
