Materials & Properties of Plastic Core Tubes

At ABI Profils, we use specially selected plastic materials for the manufacture of our core tubes. Each material has its technical advantages, enabling us to meet the requirements of various industries.

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

  PVC is a versatile and robust material. It resists chemicals and weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications. It also provides excellent electrical insulation.

• PP (Polypropylene)

  Polypropylene is valued for its light weight and chemical resistance. It is used in sectors that require high heat and acid resistance. It is fully recyclable.

• HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)

  HDPE offers excellent impact and abrasion resistance. It is perfect for industrial applications requiring high mechanical strength and the ability to withstand low temperatures.

• HDPE Mineral-Reinforced C

  This material is enriched with minerals, providing greater rigidity. It is optimal for applications requiring high dimensional stability, while retaining the properties of HDPE.

• ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

  ABS is renowned for its high impact resistance. It maintains thermal stability and has an aesthetic finish, making it ideal for both functional and visually appealing applications.

• HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)

  HIPS is a rigid material resistant to impact. It is frequently used in the electronics, food, and medical industries.

Applications of Plastic Core Tubes

Our plastic core tubes are used in numerous sectors, each with its specific requirements.

• Food and Pharmaceutical Industry
  Our HDPE and High Impact Polystyrene cores are used for applications meeting food safety standards.
• Medical Industry
  Our products meet the strict requirements of medical applications, which demand sterile and durable materials.
• Electronics Industry
  ABS and PVC cores are used in the production of electronic components, thanks to their thermal and electrical insulation properties.
• Packaging and Display
  Our core tubes are perfect for winding plastic films, tapes, and papers. Their mechanical strength ensures protection during storage and handling.

Manufacturing Process and Quality

Extrusion is the most common manufacturing process for plastic core tubes. The material is first melted, then homogenised using a screw, and finally pressed through an extruder. The plastic material used is determined by your specifications. We are moving towards a 4.0 manufacturing plant with state-of-the-art technology. We are equipped with 15 single- and twin-screw extrusion lines, providing versatility and a tailored response to your requirements. Our plastic core tubes are therefore of superior quality and have a long service life.

Purchasing Plastic Core Tubes at ABI Profils

ABI Profils has over 40 years of experience in manufacturing plastic core tubes. We manufacture technical core tubes in various plastic materials according to your needs. Our clients benefit from optimal economic and technical solutions to ensure their requirements are 100% met. We develop a customised solution in collaboration with your teams, precisely tailored to your specific needs. Production is carried out exclusively using modern technology, adapted to the plastics and their processing, while preserving resources and the environment.

We offer a wide choice of plastic materials, ranging from standard to technical, including recycled materials. Tool design is carried out using a 3D and 2D CAD-DAO system. To follow the different stages of your development, we work under a PDS (Product Development Sheet). A functional and aesthetic analysis will focus on manufacturing feasibility, as well as industrialisation costs.

Considering your specifications, technical, functional, aesthetic, and environmental constraints, a project manager will support you through all phases of your development.

Development Phases for Your Plastic Core Tubes

Here are the main steps for the development of your core tubes at ABI Profils:

• Product Development Sheet (PDS) creation
• 3D/2D design and modelling
• Project timeline anticipation
• Product Quality Analysis File (PQAF) setup
• Material analysis and prototyping
• Technical study and die and tool manufacturing

ABI Profils services are present throughout the process, from specification to industrialisation.
