From prototype to product

Proplast makes extruded plastic hoses, tubes, profiles, and belts. We produce a wide range of materials and products, and we offer tailor-made solutions. We call this "fit-for-purpose".

Our specialist skills help to ensure coherence in the process from idea to prototype to finished product. In the process, we collaborate closely with you to evaluate the prototype through our consultancy on design and material selection.

In this way, we take it upon us that you get a unique product that is designed according to your needs.

Our consultancy team has an unrivalled insight on and experience in both production processes and raw materials.

In addition, we work closely with the leading raw material suppliers in Europe to ensure breadth and depth in our range.

Hoses

Proplast makes hoses in a wide range of materials and in dimensions from 1 to 50 mm.

Based on an analysis of your requirements and conditions of use, such as temperature, operating pressure, chemical environment, and working environment, including UV, wear and tear, impact, and flexibility, we advise on materials and design.

It helps to ensure the optimal solution and guarantees that the product meets requirements in terms of characteristics, functionality, and price.

Based on a responsible use of plastic, our "fit-for-purpose" principle aims to ensure an optimal solution. At the same time, we focus on functionality and the environmental perspective in a collaboration with you.

APPLICATION:

Our range ensures products with characteristics that can be used within an array of industries, including automation (pneumatics), automotive industry (DIN standards), trains (EN 45545), chemical industries, medical equipment (USP Class VI), food production (EU 10/2011), and toys.

 

Our range includes, among other things:

  • Polyamides (PA11, PA12, PA6, PA66 og PA alloy)
  • Elastomers (TPU, TPV, TPE)
  • Polyolefins (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE)
  • Fluoropolymers (PVDF)

Spirals

Proplast specializes in manufacturing spiralized hoses in a range of materials that meet demands for flexibility and functionality, be it the length of free ends, the circumference of the spiral, or its working length.

The spirals are produced from hoses from our in-house production, which provides optimal flexibility in planning and production. The dimensions depend on the material but range from a hose diameter of 4 to 16 mm and a working length of the spiral from 2 to 15 meters.

Proplast also offers multispirals, giving you the opportunity to combine different materials, colours, dimensions, and lengths in the spiral.

Based on a responsible use of plastic, our "fit-for-purpose" principle aims to ensure an optimal solution. At the same time, we focus on functionality and the environmental perspective in a collaboration with you.

APPLICATION:

Pneumatics, automotive industries (garages), brake hoses (air), chemical industries, food industries, and general industrial purposes.

Our range includes, among other things:

  • Polyamides (PA11, PA12, PA6, PA66 og PA alloy)
  • Elastomers (TPU, TPV, TPE)
  • Polyolefins (LDPE)
  • Fluoropolymers (PVDF)

Tubes

Proplast makes tubes that are shortened to specific lengths, and which can be cut perpendicularly or bevelled according to demand.

Based on an analysis of your requirements and the conditions of use, such as temperature, operating pressure, chemical environment, and working environment, including UV, wear and tear, impact, and flexibility, we advise on materials and design.

It helps to ensure the optimal solution and guarantees that

the product meets requirements in terms of characteristics, functionality, and price.

Based on a responsible use of plastic, our "fit-for-purpose" principle aims to ensure an optimal solution. At the same time, we focus on functionality and the environmental perspective in a collaboration with you.

We also offer some types of post-processing of the tubes, e.g., sealing of ends.

APPLICATION:

The tubes are used, among other things, in the automotive industries, chemical industries, medical equipment, audio, control equipment, and general industrial purposes.

Our range includes, among other things:

  • Polyamides (PA11, PA12, PA6, PA66 og PA alloy)
  • Elastomers (TPU, TPV, TPE)
  • Polyolefins (LDPE; MDPE, HDPE)
  • Fluoropolymers (PVDF)
  • Others (POM, PSU, and PC)

Profiles

Proplast makes profiles dimensioned from 1 mm to approx. 80 mm in a range of thermoplastic materials. Our consultancy sees to it that the profile has characteristics optimally adapted to its application. In tandem with the customer, we carry out a thorough analysis of requirements and intended use to arrive at the optimal solution, always with a view to functionality and price.

Based on a responsible use of plastic, our "fit-for-purpose" principle aims to ensure an optimal solution. At the same time, we focus on functionality and the environmental perspective in a collaboration with you.

In a joint effort with the French manufacturer ARKEMA, we have developed the material TCP for conveyor belt profiles, which are characterized by high wear and tear resistance, low friction, operating temperatures of over 100˚ C, and a low thermal expansion.

In a collaboration with you, we analyse requirements and conditions of use in order to advise on the choice of material and design. It helps to ensure that the product meets requirements of characteristics, functionality, and price

APPLICATION:

Our profiles are used for various purposes but are mainly applied where low friction and a wear and tear resistance are required, e.g., for conveyor belts. We also make profiles for the pharmaceutical and food industries as well as for several other industrial purposes.

Our range includes, among other things:

  • Polyamides (PA11, PA12, PA6, PA66 og PA alloy)
  • Elastomers (TPU, TPV, TPE)
  • Polyolefins (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE)
  • Fluoropolymers (PVDF)
  • Others (POM)
