Custom technical plastic tubes

Applications

ABI Profils’ technical tubes are integrated across a wide range of sectors thanks to their high versatility and deep level of customisation:

• Industry: technical components requiring resistance, rigidity, flexibility or specific mechanical properties.
• Design & architecture: ubes with unique geometries, customised finishes and visual integration for aesthetic projects.
• Transport & equipment : Technical components compliant with current standards and designed for demanding environments.

With our industrial flexibility and materials expertise, we design custom tubes that meet your technical, functional and environmental requirements.

Technical information

Our technical tubes are available in a wide range of configurations and extrusion technologies, tailored to your design and performance needs.

Available extrusion technologies

Mono-extrusion

A single thermoplastic material is extruded to produce a homogeneous, stable and consistent tube. Ideal for products requiring high dimensional precision and mechanical stability.

Coextrusion

Simultaneous combination of several materials in a single tube. Allows the integration of complementary thermal, chemical or aesthetic properties (e.g. rigid core + flexible or coloured outer layer).

Post-extrusion

In-line addition of treatments, coatings or functional finishes after extrusion. Used to enhance resistance, modify the surface or add a technical property.

Special shapes and variable geometries

Our internal design and tooling capabilities enable the production of tubes with unique geometries, well beyond classic cylindrical formats:

• Specific shapes: oval, elliptical, square, rectangular, fluted, ribbed or grooved
• Multi-cavity or multi-channel tubes: ideal for guiding, protecting or separating components
• Functional tubes: integration of slots, guides, clips, rails, fins or technical inserts based on your specifications
• Custom finishes: glossy, matte, textured, coloured or transparent.

These custom designs deliver fully tailored solutions combining mechanical performance, functional integration and optimised aesthetics.

Our expertise covers the entire development chain, from 3D die design to full-series production, guaranteeing reliable, high-performance products suited to their operating environment.

Materials used

ABI Profils technical tubes can be extruded from a wide variety of standard, technical or eco-responsible plastics depending on your specifications.

Technical materials

PVC, PA, PC, ABS, PEHD, PP and PMMA — selected for their mechanical, thermal or chemical resistance. Suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Aesthetic materials

Transparent, coloured or textured plastics providing premium finishes for design, furniture, signage or architectural applications.

Recycled materials

Formulations incorporating recycled or revalorised plastics, supporting an environmentally responsible approach without compromising performance. Compliant with environmental standards (REACH, RoHS, etc.).

Each formulation is strictly controlled to guarantee stability, durability and aesthetic quality of the finished product

Manufacturing process and quality

Technical tubes are produced by extrusion, coextrusion or post-extrusion — processes that ensure constant characteristics and controlled performance.

The thermoplastic material is heated, homogenised and pressed through a calibrated extrusion die to achieve the required geometry. The tube is then calibrated, cooled and cut to the desired length.

Our 15 single-screw and twin-screw extrusion lines (WEBER, AMUT, BATTENFELD CINCINNATI) offer strong production adaptability:

• Parts from 10 g to 5 kg/m
• Wide range of formats (tubes, profiles, sheaths, complex sections)
• Volumetric or gravimetric dosing ensuring consistent material feed and product homogeneity

Every production batch is traceable, inspected and compliant with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.
