Materials used

Our flexible tubes are made from carefully selected technical materials for their mechanical, chemical, and environmental properties, ensuring optimal performance in demanding industrial applications:

• Flexible PVC: Provides excellent flexibility, enhanced durability, and resistance to weather conditions and chemical agents.
• SEBS: Offers high elasticity, strong UV resistance, and dimensional stability, making it especially suitable for outdoor environments.
• TPU: Renowned for its exceptional abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability in challenging conditions.

These materials deliver a reliable and high-performance solution for applications requiring flexibility, endurance, and chemical resistance.

Manufacturing process and Quality

Our flexible tubes are produced via plastic extrusion. This process ensures homogeneous products that meet the strictest quality standards. The material is melted, homogenised, and then pushed through an extruder to shape the tubes.

At ABI Profils, we operate 15 single-screw and twin-screw extrusion lines, enabling us to adapt our production capacity to the specific requirements of your projects.

Purchasing flexible tubes from ABI Profils

With more than 40 years of experience in manufacturing flexible tubes, ABI Profils produces technical tubes in different plastic materials according to your needs (ranging from standard to highly technical materials, as well as recycled options). We develop a customised solution in collaboration with your teams, precisely tailored to the relevant requirements.

Production is carried out exclusively with modern technologies that are optimised for plastic processing, while preserving resources and the environment.

Tool design is performed using a 3D and 2D CAD/DAO system in our in-house workshop. To monitor each stage of your development, we operate under the Product Development Sheet (FDP) method. A functional and aesthetic analysis focuses on manufacturing feasibility as well as industrialisation costs. These documents consolidate all the guidelines for your project.

Taking your specifications into account—along with your technical, functional, aesthetic, and environmental constraints—a dedicated project manager will support you throughout every phase of your development.

Contact a Project Manager to learn more and discuss your project.

The different phases of developing your flexible tubes

Below are the main steps in developing your projects at ABI Profils:

1. Creation of the Product Development Sheet (FDP)
2. 3D/2D Design and Modelling
3. Planning the project timeline
4. Compiling the Product Quality Analysis Document (DAQP)
5. Material Analysis and Prototyping
6. Technical Study and Production of Dies and Tooling

ABI Profils is involved throughout the entire process: from initial specifications to industrialisation.
