At Polymer Compounders Limited, we understand the unique demands of the leisure and outdoor equipment sector — from the unpredictable British weather to the rigours of daily use in consumer and commercial environments.
Our polymer compounds are engineered for long-term durability, UV stability, and consistent visual finish, supporting a wide range of leisure products including:
Outdoor seating and furniture
Garden tools and storage
Sports and recreational equipment
Marine-grade housings
Caravan and camping accessories
✅ UV and Weather Resistant
Our formulations include UV stabilisers and weatherable additives to resist fading, brittleness, and degradation over time — even in harsh climates.
✅ Toughness and Impact Resistance
From children’s play equipment to park furniture, our materials withstand knocks, drops, and wear without losing structural integrity.
✅ Vibrant Colour Matching
We offer custom colour matching with batch consistency, so your brand colours stay bold and uniform across product lines.
✅ Sustainable Options Available
We offer recycled content grades and support low-impact manufacturing goals with our eco-conscious blends.
UV Stability & Weather Resistance
Outdoor products must resist fading, brittleness, and colour shift — especially under prolonged UV and environmental exposure.
Mechanical Strength & Impact Resistance
Equipment should withstand knocks, drops, and repetitive use without cracking or deforming, particularly in colder temperatures.
Colour Accuracy & Batch Consistency
Consumers and brands demand consistent, vibrant colours — especially for visible or branded parts. PCL’s fast colour matching ensures reliable results.
Surface Finish & Aesthetics
Outdoor gear must balance function with form. Our compounds offer excellent mouldability, gloss control, and paint-free finishes.
Chemical & Water Resistance
Resistance to sun cream, oils, rainwater, and cleaning agents is essential for longevity and product safety.
Recyclability & Sustainability
Many brands now favour polymers with recycled content or reduced carbon footprint — we support that shift with eco-conscious formulations.
Compliance with REACH & RoHS
Safety and regulatory compliance is essential — all our materials meet strict EU and UK regulations.
ABSCOM® — High-impact ABS for rigid, vibrant parts
PC-ABSCOM™ — Blends toughness and aesthetics for demanding applications
ASACOM™ — Great for outdoor housings with enhanced weatherability
PC-ASACOM™ – All the benefits of ASACOM as a polymer, but with the added benefit of impact strength.
Good impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
High toughness and rigidity.
Easy to machine and finish, with excellent dimensional stability.
Relatively lower resistance to UV and weathering compared to ASA.
Prone to yellowing over time when exposed to sunlight.
