RESPONSIBLE USE OF PLASTIC

We help our customers make responsible choices in plastics by optimizing material selection and prod-

uct design to meet functional needs with minimal environmental impact.

Our solutions emphasize durability and recyclability, supported by transparent documentation of environmental processes and waste reduction.

Through this approach, we contribute to raising awareness of circular processes and support your sustainability journey.

FIT-FOR-PURPOSE

At Proplast, no project is too small and no challenge too complex. From prototype to serial production, we guide you in material selection, resource-conscious design, and process optimization.

We manufacture tailored hoses, spirals, tubes, profiles, tapes, and custom extrusions in the exact dimensions and volumes you require.

We call this principle fit-for-purpose: your guarantee that every product is designed and produced to perform precisely in its intended application.

PURPOSE

Our fit-for-purpose approach ensures that every solution combines functionality with a responsible use of plastics.

We consider plastics a valuable resource with unique properties and unlimited potential. When used and recycled correctly, plastics can pro-

vide highly sustainable solutions with long service life and a clear focus on circularity.

With credible advice, technical expertise, and strong documentation, we help you move towards increased recycling, reduced environmental footprint, and responsible use of plastics – without compromising performance.

That’s why we are Proplast.

HOSES

INTRODUCTION

We supply hoses in a wide range of materials and dimensions, tailored to meet specific customer requirements for functionality, performance, and cost.

Selecting the right material requires a thorough understanding of the operational environment and application conditions in which the hose will perform. An incorrect choice can result in installation challenges, reduced performance, or in the worst case, complete hose failure.

When defining the optimal solution, it is essential to consider factors such as:

• Temperature range (minimum and maximum)

• Operating pressure

• Chemical exposure

• Mechanical environment (impact, abrasion, flexibility, UV resistance, etc.)

Additional requirements, such as color, food-contact approvals, or flame resistance, may also influence material selection.

POLYAMIDE 12

PA 12 is a very suitable material for rigid and semi-rigid hoses.

The excellent mechanical properties offers very good resistance to pressure combined with good chemical resistance to oils, grease and different types of fuels.

It is an ideal candidate for pneumatic hoses and break hoses for the automotive industry.

Several PA 12 grades fulfils the DINnorm 74324 and 73378.

Our product range covers:

• PA 12 PHL (DIN 73378/74324)

• PA 12 PHLY (DIN 73378/74324)

• PA 12 HIPHL (DIN 73378/74324)

• PA 12 H (DIN 73378/74324)

• PA 12 AN (Antistatic)

• PA 12 SF (Superflex)

• PA 12 FR (Railway EN45545)

POLYAMIDE 11

Bio-polyamide 11 is based on a renewable vegetable source that originates from castor oil and as PA 12 is a very suitable material for rigid and semi-rigid hoses.

The excellent mechanical properties offers very good resistance to pressure combined with good chemical resistance to oils, grease and different types of fuels. It is an ideal candidate for pneumatic hoses and break hoses for the automotive industry.

PA 11 has excellent resistance to low temperatures, and has a better performance on this particular point compared to PA 12.

Several PA 12 grades fulfils the DINnorm 74324 and 73378.

Our product range covers:

• PA 11 PHL (DIN 73378/74324)

POLYURETHANE

PUR is suitable material for flexible hoses.

PUR has excellent flexibility and bendability and is very resistant to "kink". Resistance to pressure and chemicals are considerable lower than that of PA 11 and PA 12. PUR is mainly used, when minimal bending radius is a requirement.

PUR has a glossy surface and several grades are transparent.

POLYVINYLIDENEFLUORIDE

PVDF is characterized by excellent mechanical properties, which is the best of all fluoropolymers. Chemical resistance is better than that of PA 11 and PA 12, but not at the same level as PFA or PTFE. This is also the case for the thermal resistance.

PVDF is suitable for medical and food contact application due to the high cleanness of the polymer. PVDF is classified as V0 according to UL94 and is approved for food contact applications (FDA / EU) and drinking water application (NSF).

PVDF is mainly use for applications demanding a combination of high chemical resistance, mechanical strength and thermal resistance. In many cases PVDF can be used instead of PTFE or PFA, as the mechanical properties are often enough and price and weight is lower.

Our product range covers:

• PVDF HA

• PVDF FX

POLYOLEFINS

Polyolefins are characterized by mechanical and thermal properties in the low end, but at the same time quite good chemical resistance.

Recommended service temperature depends on grade, but is in the range of -50°C to +60°C (depending on grade).

Polyolefins is mainly used for applications with limited requirements for low pressure and temperature.

Several grades are approved for food contact according to the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and some European norms.

Our product range covers:

• LDPE

• HDPE

• HDPE AN (Antistatic)

• HMW-PE
