Molded tubes are special tube products that are shaped by a specific manufacturing process to meet specific requirements and functions.
These pipes differ in their design and material properties depending on their intended use and industry. 


Properties of shaped tubes:

  • Molded design:
    Shaped tubes are manufactured using special shaping processes that make it possible to realize different diameters, wall thicknesses and cross-sectional shapes.

  • Variety of materials:
    Shaped tubes can be made from various materials, including plastics such as PVC, PE, PP, metals such as aluminum or stainless steel, as well as other materials depending on the application.

  • Application-specific properties:
    The properties of the shaped tubes are often adapted to the requirements of their application. This can include strength, flexibility, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other specific characteristics.

  • Manufacturing processes:
    Various manufacturing processes such as extrusion, injection molding, welding or other shaping processes are used depending on the material and the desired end product.

 

Applications of shaped tubes:

  • Construction industry: Molded pipes are used in the construction industry for structural and piping systems, including water and sewage pipes, ventilation systems and structural elements.

  • Industrial applications: In industrial applications, shaped tubes are used in various processes, including the transportation of liquids, gases and powders.

  • Electrical industry: Molded conduits are used for the wiring and protection of electrical lines and cables.

  • Automotive industry: In the automotive industry, molded tubes are used in fuel lines, cooling and heating systems and other applications.

  • Agriculture: Molded pipes are used in agriculture for irrigation systems, drainage pipes and other applications.

  • Chemical industry: Special shaped pipes with corrosion-resistant properties are used for the transportation of chemicals.

 

Advantages of shaped tubes:

  • Versatility: shaped tubes can be adapted to different requirements, which increases their application versatility.

  • Lightweight: Many shaped tubes are lightweight compared to traditional materials, making transportation and installation easier.

  • Cost efficiency: Thanks to their special manufacture, shaped tubes can be produced cost-effectively.

  • Adaptability: shaped tubes can be produced in different shapes and sizes to meet the specific needs of an application.

 

The selection of a suitable shaped pipe depends on the specific requirements of the application, the ambient conditions and the material properties. It is therefore important to consider the exact product specifications and recommendations of the manufacturer.

Molded pipes made of PVC-U, PE and PP are different types of plastic pipes that are used in various applications.

PVC-U (polyvinyl chloride unplasticized):

  1. Properties: PVC-U is a hard, rigid plastic material with excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation.

  2. Applications: PVC-U shaped pipes are frequently used in water supply, wastewater disposal, the construction industry and in various industrial applications.

  3. Features: They are lightweight, easy to handle and offer good resistance to corrosion and chemicals.

PE (polyethylene):

  1. Properties: PE is a flexible plastic with high toughness and excellent resistance to wear and chemical influences.

  2. Applications: PE molded pipes are often used in gas supply, water supply, sewage disposal, agriculture and mining.

  3. Characteristics: These pipes are lightweight, flexible, corrosion-resistant and have good insulating properties.

PP (polypropylene):

  1. Properties: PP is a versatile plastic with high impact strength, chemical resistance and good heat resistance.

  2. Applications: PP shaped pipes are used in the chemical industry, food processing, water supply and other industrial applications.

  3. Characteristics: PP pipes are lightweight, durable, resistant to many chemicals and have good temperature resistance.

 

Common features:

  • Lightweight:
    All three materials are lighter than traditional materials such as steel or copper, which makes transportation and installation easier.

  • Corrosion resistance:
    PVC-U, PE and PP are corrosion-resistant and are therefore well suited for use in environments with aggressive media.

  • Simple installation:
    The shaped pipes made from these plastics are generally easy to handle and install, which reduces labor costs.

 

It is important to note that the specific properties and applications of these molded tubes can vary depending on the manufacturing process, additives and the specific requirements of the application. 

The manufacturer’s exact product specifications and recommendations should therefore be taken into account.
