pvc

We are the leading manufacturer of excellent granulated, plasticized PVC compounds for insulating and sheathing purposes in the cable industry in West Africa.

Our compounds possess properties that make them suitable for both 70- degrees insulating and 90-degrees sheathing applications and are manufactured in conformance with EN 50363-3, EN 50363-4-1 and IEC 60502-1 and custom specification.

They are available in different types and colors.
