Plastic pipes and sheaths : Technical properties and material quality

Our plastic pipes and sheaths are produced through plastic extrusion, a common process that ensures perfect material homogenisation. The materials used are determined according to your specific requirements and specifications. We use over twelve types of plastics, including rigid and flexible PVC, PP, PP FV, PEHD, PEBD, SEBS, PA6, ABS, PS, and PETG.

Material Specific Properties Applications
Rigid PVC Corrosion resistance, durability Plastic core tubes, plumbing, ventilation, road signage
Flexible PVC Flexibility, weather resistance Protective sheaths, various flexible pipes
PP Chemical resistance, lightweight Food packaging, medical components
PP FV Increased resistance thanks to glass fibres Industrial applications requiring high mechanical strength
PP CACO3 Impact resistance, thermal stability Plastic core tubes, industrial applications requiring high mechanical strength
PEHD High density, impact resistance Plastic core tubes, casing tubes, signage posts, sports equipment
PEBD Flexibility, chemical resistance Casing tubes, flexible packaging
SEBS Elasticity, UV resistance Protective sheaths, outdoor applications
PA6 Wear resistance, good stability Technical components, sheaths for medical equipment
ABS Impact resistance, good rigidity Plastic core tubes, electronic components
PS Transparency, heat resistance Applications requiring optical clarity, transparent tubes
PETG Transparency, chemical and thermal resistance Edge-to-edge glazing (I PROFILS range), food packaging, medical applications

Each material is chosen for its specific properties, such as resistance to corrosion, chemicals, impacts, and extreme temperatures.

For example, PEBD, PEHD, PS, ABS, and PP tubes are suitable for food contact applications, ensuring safety and compliance with food standards. This variety allows us to produce tubes with different characteristics: flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, thin or thick-walled, and adapted to various lengths and geometries.
