Mineral C-Reinforced High-Density Polyethylene Cores (HDPE R Mineral C)
High-performance plastic cores engineered for demanding industrial environments.
ABI Profils’ Mineral-Reinforced HDPE C cores are designed to deliver superior mechanical strength, optimised dimensional stability and increased durability.
This unique formulation, developed through our expertise in tubular extrusion, meets the strictest requirements of the plastic film winding industry and all applications requiring high compression strength and excellent resistance to creep.
Available in virtually all 3-inch diameters, these cores come with smooth or grooved inner surfaces and in all laize (width) lengths.
Applications
Mineral-Reinforced HDPE C cores are ideal for industrial uses requiring rigidity and long-term dimensional consistency:
- Plastic film industry: high-precision cores for technical and multilayer film winding
- Textile industry: robust cores for heavy fabrics, technical tapes and nonwovens
- Various industrial sectors: for any application requiring high resistance to compression, ovalisation and creep

Material used: Mineral-Reinforced High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE R Mineral C)
An exclusive formulation developed by ABI Profils
HDPE R Mineral C is a high-density composite formulation based on HDPE enriched with selected mineral fillers — notably calcium carbonate, talc and precipitated silica.
This unique combination provides mechanical behaviour that exceeds that of standard HDPE, while maintaining the lightness and recyclability of the base polymer.
Technical Properties of HDPE R Mineral C
- Enhanced mechanical strength: mineral fillers increase rigidity and compression resistance; the core maintains its shape under heavy loads
- Optimised dimensional stability: reduced creep and ovalisation, ensuring perfectly consistent winding over time
- Improved thermal behaviour: stable up to 90 °C in continuous use
- Chemical resistance & inertness: unaffected by solvents, acids or bases; ideal for industrial and technical packaging environments
- Aesthetic surface finish: clean, smooth and uniform appearance with low friction
- Durability & eco-design: recyclable formulation, compatible with recycled content to reduce environmental impact
Available additives and technical options
To meet the specific needs of each application, HDPE R Mineral C can incorporate:
- UV stabilisers: for light-exposed or high-temperature environments
- Conductive fillers: for dissipating electrostatic charges in sensitive applications
- Anti-creep agents: to limit deformation under repeated winding
- Custom pigmentation: mass-colouring for identification or aesthetic purposes
Manufacturing process and quality
Our Mineral-Reinforced HDPE C cores are produced using high-precision extrusion, ensuring material homogeneity, dimensional consistency and a perfect surface finish.
The molten material is homogenised, calibrated and cooled under strict control, ensuring consistent performance from batch to batch.
With 15 mono- and twin-screw extrusion lines, we adapt our production capacity to your needs, from prototypes to large industrial series.
Every batch is traceable, inspected and compliant with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.
