PAL® compounds
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
PAL® compounds are environmentally sustainable, 100% recyclable, olefin based alternative used to replace melt extruded flexible PVC. When PAL compounds are used in place of flexible PVC, they approximate the look and feel of flexible PVC but are completely 100% PVC free.
