PVC Tubes or PP Tubes? Which performance for which application?
In many industrial sectors — from construction to food processing, as well as transport, chemicals and logistics — plastic tubes play a key functional role. Among the most commonly used materials, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and PP (Polypropylene) stand out as leading solutions, each offering distinct technical advantages. Mechanical strength, chemical resistance, weight, cost, thermal behaviour, ease of processing: the choice between a PVC tube and a PP tube depends directly on the application’s technical constraints.

Frequently asked questions
The choice of material depends on the specific constraints of your application: temperature, pressure, chemical resistance, food-contact or UV standards. The most commonly used polymers include HDPE, PP, rigid or flexible PVC, as well as specific formulations depending on the project. At ABI Profils, we help you select the polymer best suited to your application.
Plastic co-extrusion makes it possible to combine several materials within the same tube in order to bring together different mechanical, chemical, or aesthetic properties. This technology is ideal for meeting complex technical requirements, such as achieving a structure that is both rigid and flexible.
