Versatility and adaptability of plastic tubes

ABI Profils’ plastic tubes meet many industrial needs. In the automotive sector, for instance, they are used to transport fluids like coolant and oil. They are also used for fuel circuits and ventilation systems.

In the construction sector, they ensure the transport of fluids for plumbing and heating, the insulation of electrical cables, and ventilation systems.

For the paramedical sector, our tubes are used in medical devices, ensuring sterility and protection.

In dynamic storage systems, they are used for storage structures and automated guidance systems.

Finally, our tubes also find their place in POS displays, packaging, sports and leisure, and the aeronautics industry. These are reliable and adaptable solutions for every application.

Technical properties and material quality

Our plastic tubes are produced by plastic extrusion, a common process that guarantees perfect material homogenisation. The materials used are determined based on your requirements and specifications.

We use over twelve types of plastics, including rigid and flexible PVC, PP, PP FV, PEHD, PEBD, SEBS, PA6, ABS, PS, and PETG.

Each material is selected for its specific properties, such as resistance to corrosion, chemicals, impacts, and extreme temperatures. For example, PEBD, PEHD, PS, ABS, and PP tubes are suitable for food contact applications. This ensures safety and compliance with food standards.

This variety allows us to produce tubes with different characteristics: flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, thin or thick-walled, and suited to various lengths and geometries.

Types of plastic tubes

At ABI Profils, we offer a wide range of plastic tubes to meet diverse needs. Let’s take a detailed look at the types of plastic tubes we manufacture:

  • Plastic core tubes: Used in sectors such as medical, food, pharmaceutical, and electronics. These tubes are available in materials such as polystyrene (PS), high-density polyethylene (PEHD), polypropylene (PP), and ABS.
  • Various flexible tubes: Made from flexible PVC, SEBS, and TPU, these tubes are available in diameters ranging from 3 mm to 80 mm. They are delivered in coils from 50 m to 1000 m, depending on the diameter.
  • Road marking post tubes: These posts, used for road safety in winter, are available in shock-resistant and UV-resistant crystal PVC, PEHD ECO, and PEHD ECO 2R (reinforced and recycled). Options include anti-freeze caps and Class II reflective strips.
  • Various technical tubes: Adapted to specific technical, aesthetic, or functional needs, these tubes can be produced via mono extrusion, post-extrusion, or coextrusion.
  • Marking posts (ski slopes & stations): Used for ski slope signalling, these polycarbonate posts are available in several diameters with customisation options such as anti-freeze caps and conical or helical tips.
  • Various transparent tubes: These tubes allow for transparency or light diffusion and are available in diameters from 2 to 82 mm internally and from 4 to 120 mm externally.
  • Sausage casing tubes: Specialised for food use, made from PEHD and PEBD, these tubes are supplied to French and European casing manufacturers.
  • Extinguisher dip tubes: Used in powder and water extinguishers, these PVC and PVC-C tubes are available in various diameters and finishes.
  • Paint roller tubes: Suitable for the manufacture of paint rollers, these PVC and PP tubes are available in specific diameters and have fibre fabrics bonded by heat fusion.
  • Hoop tubes: For sports and leisure, these coloured PEHD tubes are available in various diameters and coatings, offering a wide range of colours.
