We have an experienced technical staff and a fully equipped laboratory to develop materials to meet a variety of demanding specifications. Whether your specification is for a clear, natural, or pre-colored material, Sylvin is ready to provide the exact flexible PVC compound to meet your needs.

Our mission is to provide our customers with superior customer and technical service. To provide high-quality materials that process consistently, meet specific performance requirements, and are delivered on time at a competitive price.

Sylvin's manufacturing facility operates three PVC compounding lines. Utilizing high-intensity process technology, each compound is thoroughly mixed before being pelletized and packaged. Our computerized process control panels ensure that each batch of material contains the correct raw material in the exact amount every time. Our extensive material process database ensures formulation integrity and lot-to-lot process consistency.

Standard and customized compounds are produced for as little as 50 pounds up to multiple truckload quantities. We have the capability to produce diced pellets for packaging in 50-pound bags or 2,000-pound gaylords. Underwater, face-cut pellets (round) can also be produced and packaged in gaylords.

Company Profile

As a world-class manufacturer of plastic components, we can provide our customers with complete project management through innovative engineering solutions. This involves all phases of tooling, part design, to precision molding.

Our company was founded in 1982, with over 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility we are a leader in the Structural Foam industry. Our facility offers molding press capacities of 48 to 1,100 tons. We utilize the latest technologies in CAD software; our designers use ProEngineer, Mold Flow, and Mastercam Software. We offer in-house tooling and mold making for custom designs.

Structural foam offers superior strength to weight ratio. Compared to conventional injection molded plastics, the structural foam is three to four times as rigid as the same weight material produced by conventional injection molding, depending on the resin used. A smooth outer skin encloses the foam core and prevents flex and distortion of the part. Parts engineered with structural foam have good machining qualities and allow variations in wall thickness.

Technology Offerings

  • 48 to 1,100-ton press capability
  • Single part design to turn-key production
  • Engineering design and support
  • In-house tool design and mold making

TPI is our powder metal manufacturing facility. This facility occupies 24,000 sq. ft. We currently operate with 15 presses (ranging from 5 to 750-ton capacity) and three continuous belt furnaces. Our staff at TPI custom designs tooling, fixtures, gauges, and parts tailored to our customer's specifications. Working closely with our customers in the early stages of design enables the powder metal (P/M) part to be designed in the context of the entire assembly rather than as an isolated part. A lower-cost powder metal (P/M) part can often be achieved through small changes in an assembly.
