The Importance of Understanding Vinyl Compounds for Windows

One of our responsibilities as a replacement vinyl window manufacturer is to understand every aspect of vinyl compounds. That’s why we’ve developed deep vinyl knowledge which speaks volumes about the long-term viability of our window systems. Unfortunately, a lot of professional window salespeople know little about the technology in the products they sell. As a result, they use terms like “100% pure virgin vinyl” as if only their windows were made with it. The truth is, nearly all vinyl windows in America are manufactured with 100% virgin vinyl. Therefore, what separates one virgin vinyl from another are the differences in the vinyl compound formulas used to make them. Some produce high-quality vinyl while others create a cheap, low-quality product.

We Use High-Quality Veka Vinyl in Our Windows

Before we ever designed our first window system, we conducted an extensive search to find the highest-quality vinyl compounds available. We’re pleased to say that we found a source that meets this thresh hold right here in Texas! Ringer Windows is proud to have Veka, Inc. of Terrell, Texas as our vinyl technology partner.

What is Our Vinyl Compound and How is it Made?

UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) is the main ingredient in our vinyl compound. This particular mixture results from a combination of natural gas and rock salt. In it’s pure state, UPVC is not very durable or weather-resistant. However, to increase its performance in windows subjected to the Texas climate we add seven different micro-ingredients. Every part of the UPVC manufacturing process we follow is designed to enhance our product’s capabilities. An important micro-ingredient are heat stabilizers to minimize the effect of heat (solar radiation) on vinyl windows.

Impact modifiers also strengthen the vinyl to prevent damage during fabrication, shipping, and window operation. In addition, UV stabilizers help prevent discoloration and fading from ultraviolet light exposure. Lastly, lubricants provide a smooth finish on the vinyl surface frame. While not particularly exciting these details ensure consistent quality in the finished product and predictable, consistent fabrication.

We Make Color Vinyl Windows Austin Homeowners Can Depend On

We use two different pigments to add color to our vinyl compound for aesthetically pleasing window colors. Almond and clay pigments create light beige and taupe colors, while titanium dioxide (TiO2) imparts a brilliant white to the vinyl. The latter also helps to reflect the sun’s rays from the finished surface. In addition, calcium carbonate is infused into the formula increasing the impact and tensile strength of the material. The complete formulation results in vinyl windows Austin homeowners can depend on not to rot, chip, corrode, peel, or blister.
