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.

Which material should you choose for your plastic tubes and profiles?
Material selection directly affects the strength, durability, and suitability of a plastic tube or profile for its intended environment. Depending on the application, some projects require high rigidity, while others demand greater flexibility or specific chemical resistance.

How to choose a PVC plastic core for your industrial production: 5 essential criteria
At ABI Profils, we design custom plastic cores engineered to meet demanding industrial production requirements. These technical components play a key role in the winding of plastic films, textiles, and adhesive materials. A poorly specified plastic core tube can cause deformation, reduced production speeds, and even damage to winding equipment.

HDPE plastic cores: strength, lightweight performance and industrial adaptability
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic cores are now a benchmark solution across many industrial sectors. Their versatility, mechanical strength and low weight make them particularly suitable for demanding applications such as plastic film winding, technical adhesive rolls, and sterile films used in the medical sector.
Discover ABI Profils
An expert in plastic extrusion and co-extrusion, ABI Profils operates across all sectors where technical plastic profiles and tubes are used, such as automotive, construction, para-medical, lean manufacturing, sports & leisure, point-of-sale advertising (POS), packaging and packing, marking and signage, and consumer goods.
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.
