High-Performance Hoses, Tubes & Spirals for industrial applications.
At Proplast A/S, we specialize in engineering thermoplastic hose solutions that combine technical precision, functional reliability, and cost efficiency.
Our product portfolio covers hoses, tubes, and spirals produced in a wide range of materials, dimensions, and hardness grades, each tailored to meet your exact requirements for performance and durability.
HOSES
Designed for performance. Built to last.
We supply hoses in a broad selection of thermoplastic materials all developed to withstand challenging operating environments in industries such as energy, machinery, transportation, and automation.
Choosing the right material is critical. It requires a solid understanding of the environment in which the hose will operate. An incorrect choice can lead to installation difficulties, reduced lifetime, or even complete failure in demanding conditions.
When defining the optimal solution, we work closely with our customers to consider every relevant parameter:
• Temperature range (minimum and maximum)
• Operating pressure and expected service life
• Chemical exposure and compatibility
• Mechanical conditions such as impact, abrasion, flexibility, and UV resistance
Additional requirements such as color, food-contact approval, or flame resistance are integrated into the design to ensure complete compliance and functionality.
Our hoses are manufactured through extrusion or calendering (roller pressing), ensuring a smooth surface finish, tight tolerances, and consistent quality across every production batch.
TUBES
Precision-cut, material-optimized solutions.
As a complement to our hose range, Proplast offers cut-to-size tubes manufactured according to individual customer specifications.
Our portfolio includes more than 25 different polymers, covering flexible, rigid, and transparent grades for both technical and industrial applications.
Tolerances are determined by the item specification, the precision of the cutting device, and the shrinkage properties of the selected material. We also offer angled cuts, allowing for customized geometries and efficient installation in complex assemblies.
