Plastics and rubber have a wide variety of uses in manufacturing, and as TCD has expanded to cater for a wider range of industries, so too has its product offering in this field. PVC and Masterbatches are used extensively in the shoe industry in both moulding and direct injection processes. Styles and product ranges can be extended through the interplay between composition of the base material, colour and effects. The uses for PVC and Masterbatches are not restricted to the shoe industry, and coupled with a boarder range of plastics which includes HDPE and LLDPE, are used to manufacture containers and drums. Flip-flops are popular the world over, be it as casual beachwear or as day to day footwear. TCD insist on optimum quality standards of the component raw materials to ensure consistency of product in terms of both material and design.
