Core offering

TPV Compound manufactures and sells PVC compounds (rigid, flexible, recycled, biobased, and bioattributed variants) and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE, TPO, TPU) for extrusion and moulding applications. Products are sold in both standard and tailor-made formulations across medical, automotive, construction, packaging, cosmetics, electrical/electronic, sports, gardening, and household goods sectors, with no minimum lot-size limitations.

Product overview

TPV Compound is an Italian manufacturer of PVC compounds and thermoplastic elastomers founded in 1962, operating as a division of the Sartor Group. Its product portfolio centers on PVC compounds (for extrusion and moulding, medical, technical, standard and custom formulations) serving sectors including medical, packaging, cosmetics, gardening, sports, automotive, household goods, construction, and electrical/electronic. The portfolio is organized into distinct product lines: the core PVC Compounds range; the ECOVIL sustainable sub-brand covering recycled PVC (ECOVIL GRR and GRT), biobased (ECOVIL BIOBASED), and bioattributed PVC (ECOVIL BIOATTRIBUTED); BAS biodegradable and biobased compounds; and TPE/TPO/TPU thermoplastic elastomers. Value-added products include PVC-based colour masterbatches and matting color masters. The company also produces specialty medical compounds free of DEHP and DOTE plasticizers, compliant with EU MDR 745/2017.
