I. Introduction: Defining the Raw Material Strategy
The choice between PVC Dry Blend (powder) and PVC Compound (pellet) is strategic, impacting your OPEX, CAPEX, and final quality. There is only the choice that best fits your operational scale, market strategy, and current machinery capabilities.
This article provides an objective comparison of the two production models.
II. Comparative Analysis: Two Production Models
| Factor | PVC Dry Blend (Powder) | PVC Compound (Pellet/Granule) |
| Direct Material Cost | Major Advantage: Lower by 8-12% (as it bypasses compounding costs). | Higher Cost: (Includes compounding, R&D, and QC costs). |
| R&D / Operational Burden | Full Responsibility: Requires dedicated in-house R&D teams and continuous testing. | R&D is Outsourced: Formula adjustment and testing are managed by the supplier (Green PVC). |
| Quality Stability Risk | Inherent Risk: Difficult to guarantee perfect Lot-to-Lot Consistency due to open mixing processes and sensitivity to storage. | High Stability: Ensures uniform quality and consistent viscosity due to strict, controlled processing. |
| Equipment Requirement (CAPEX) | High: Requires investment in specialized blending, weighing, and storage systems. | Low: Runs easily on most standard extrusion/injection machinery. |
III. The Strategic Advantage: Enhancing Stability and Quality Control
For applications requiring high surface finish, like Fittings (Rigid PVC), purchasing finished PVC Compound offers strategic stability:
- Guaranteed Quality Consistency: PVC Compound ensures stable quality due to strict QC. This guarantees that your uPVC Fittings consistently achieve an excellent smooth shining surface.
- Crucially, Green PVC maintains a closed-loop supply chain for CaCO3 powder (Calcium Carbonate Powder) through Global Minerals, a brand within the same Nhat Huy Group. This allows us to enforce strict quality control over our raw materials from the most basic step.
- Optimizing Dry Blend Logistics and Processing: Green PVC provides solutions to minimize operational risk for Dry Blend. We use special jumbo bags designed to prevent contamination and leakage, ensuring the powder’s quality remains consistent from our to their factory. Furthermore, the material was ensured to run smoothly on the customer’s existing extrusion lines without modification.
IV. Green PVC’s Flexible Solution and Global Reach
Green PVC affirms its capacity to supply both models to fit your specific operational needs. We provide both PVC Compound (pellet) and PVC Dry Blend (powder).
- Balancing Cost and Quality: We have demonstrated our ability to supply and optimize PVC Dry Blend. We have supplied Dry Blend NHCD2057W-C with optimized packaging to Profile customers in Canada, allowing them to maintain their Dryblend cost advantage

- PVC Compound for Cost Advantage in Tariff Markets: For regions like India facing high tariffs on imported Resin, importing finished PVC Compound can offer a superior total cost advantage, mitigating inventory and processing risks.
The choice between PVC Compound and PVC Dry Blend comes down to whether your prioritize direct material cost (Dryblend) or quality stability and minimized operational risk (Compound). Green PVC is committed to providing the solution that best fits your business model.
