Materials Used
Our flexible plastic strips are manufactured using carefully selected materials known for their durability and suppleness:
- Flexible PVC: A versatile material offering excellent flexibility and strong resistance to temperature changes, impacts, and chemicals. It is particularly suitable for industrial environments.
- SEBS: A thermoplastic elastomer combining flexibility and sturdiness, with excellent mechanical resilience and increased resistance to UV, ozone, and external agents. Available in various hardness levels according to application requirements.
These materials ensure high performance even under demanding conditions, providing maximum longevity and adaptability across multiple application sectors.
Manufacturing Process and Quality
Flexible plastic strips are produced through plastic extrusion. This process guarantees homogeneous products that meet the most stringent quality standards. The material is melted, homogenised, and then pushed through an extruder to form the strips.
At ABI Profils, we have 15 single-screw and twin-screw extrusion lines, allowing us to adapt our production capacity to your project specifications.

Purchasing flexible plastic strips from ABI Profils
With over 40 years of experience in manufacturing flexible plastic strips, ABI Profils produces tubes and technical profiles in various plastics according to your needs (from standard to advanced technical materials, including recycled options). We develop a customised solution in collaboration with your teams, precisely tailored to your specific requirements.
Production is carried out exclusively using modern technologies, optimised for plastic processing and preserving both resources and the environment.
Tooling is designed using a 3D/2D CAD/DAO system in our own workshop. To track every 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 guidelines for your project.
Taking into account your specifications—along with technical, functional, aesthetic, and environmental constraints—a dedicated project manager supports you through all phases of your development.
Contact a project manager for more information or to discuss your project.
Key phases in developing your flexible plastic strips
Below are the main steps for developing your projects at ABI Profils:
- Creation of the Product Development Sheet (FDP)
- 3D/2D design and modelling
- Scheduling the project timeline
