Applications
Core Tubes
Available in a variety of materials, including PP, HDPE and ABS, our core tubes are the perfect and long-lasting alternative to the traditional cardboard/paper type. They provide good strength and durability for a multitude of uses, including winding of yarn, thread, plastics, adhesive and insulation tapes, paper, boards, food grade films, fabrics and carpets.
We can manufacture the core tubes to meet specific requirements to diameter, wall thickness and length.
Spools / Bobbins
We can offer a complete custom range of spools and bobbins for a variety of applications. Using materials such as Polypropylene, ABS and Polyethylene – in overall diameters from 25mm up to 450mm with core diameters up to 200mm.
Clear Tubes
We can manufacture crystal-clear tubes for a variety of uses. We can offer food-grade materials or those where high impact strength is required.
Packaging Tubes
To fit a range of applications, such as documents, maps and artwork, our tubes can be manufactured in a range of dimensions and lengths and can be supplied with suitable cap ends to offer complete protection.
Floating booms and fenders
Constructed to assist in the containment of contaminants and pollution in water, our floating booms can be manufactured to a range of dimensions, lengths and profiles – according to the requirement of the application.
Floating reed islands
Utilising frames constructed from 110mm diameter polypropylene tubes, these reed islands provide buoyancy for reeds and grasses that provide habitat for wildlife in nature reserves – particularly areas that have been reclaimed from former industrial use.
Tree guards
Protecting trees, our tree guard provide much-needed space for a sapling or young tree to develop. Available in a range of sizes and lengths
Cheese Production Tubes
We have produced plastic tubes for the manufacture of cheese in fully-approved food-grade thermoplastic materials. Please contact us for further information.
Show Jump Poles (Equine and Canine)
Manufactured from a choice of tough polypropylene or HDPE, our show jumping poles are built to be resilient and made to last in the rough and tumble of a show-jumping environment.
We can extrude a variety of sections, including round, square, rectangle and D-shaped – with wall thicknesses and lengths according to specific requirements.
Available in a range of colours, all colour-fast and providing excellent UV stability, our poles have been widely used throughout the equestrian sector.
Racecourse Railings
Extruded tubes which are bent to form a curve at one end – they are available in a range of materials.
Fishing Rod Tubes
Protecting fishing rods of various lengths and dimensions, our thermoplastic tubes and ends provide the perfect environment to keep rods safe during transit and storage. Available in a range of colours and materials.
Conveyor Rollers
Available in a choice of durable materials with low-frictional properties and high abrasion resistance, our conveyor rollers provide impressive performance and low cost alternatives to metal-based alternatives.
We also offer selection of extruded tubes with exterior splines for use on conveyor systems. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Traffic posts and Barrier Fences
We can manufacture traffic posts and barrier fence tubes in a choice of sections – including round, square/rectangular and d-shaped – according to the specific requirements.
Gas pipe sleeving
Protecting gas pipes where they pass through building structures, we can manufacture gas pipe sleeving to a range of dimensions and wall thicknesses to meet the specific demands of a site and the relevant building regulations.
Smoke Aspiration Pipes
We can manufacture a system of smoke aspiration pipes and fittings to be used in conjunction with smoke detection systems. Typically using ABS, we can produce tailored dimensions and colours to meet the need of a site’s specific requirements and any relevant building regulations.
Size Range
Our modern extruders can produce products ranging from 10mm diameter up to 630mm – with wall thicknesses available from 0.5mm to 50mm. Extrusions can be delivered in straight lengths from 200mm up to 12m and longer lengths subject to the chosen dimensions.
We are also able to provide customised printing directly on to the finished product and can also extrude with integral longitudinal stripes in a wide range of sizes and colours to aid easy identification.
