PVC FORMULA  |  Superior Formulation

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is the main ingredient in VEKA's compound. This mixture results from a combination of natural gas and rock salt. In it's pure state, PVC does not have the qualities associated with VEKA vinyl like durability and weatherability.

To increase the performance characteristics of PVC, VEKA adds seven different microingredients to PVC. These seven ingredients, combined with superior methods of blending , differentiate VEKA compound from other extruded vinyl on the market. Ultimately, this difference is passed along to the finished product, installed in homes all over the world.

VEKA's microingredients address specific needs of a high quality, durable, VEKA vinyl window or door system. Heat Stabilizers minimize the effect of heat (solar radiation) on the vinyl window. Impact Modifers will strengthen PVC to prevent damage during fabrication, shipping, and operation of the window unit.

UV Stabilizers will aid in preventing discoloration and fading of vinyl material due to ultraviolet light exposure. Lubricants provide a smooth finish on the vinyl surface frame. Processing Aids help the compound maintain consistency as it changes into a plastic. This ensures consistent quality in the finished product and predictable, consistent fabrication.

VEKA uses two different Pigments to impart color to our vinyl. One is used depending on the desired result. Almond pigment creates a light beige color while Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) imparts a brilliant white color to the vinyl and helps to reflect the sun's rays from the finished surface. Calcium Carbonate, referred to as a filler, replaces some of the PVC to increase impact and tensile strength to the finished material. This formulation results in superior vinyl window and door products that will not rot, chip, corrode, peel, or blister.
