Materials and equipment
TimaFlex single-handedly designs and develops its own extrusion equipment, cooling reservoirs and auxiliary equipment. This enables us to make profiles from a wide range of plastics, including ABS, bio-based and compostable plastics, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, PA, PP, glass-reinforced PP (even up to 60%), PPS, PS (and HIPS), TPE, TPV. In any colour of your choice, clipped or sawed with length tolerances of less than 0.3 mm.

Geometry
Send us your blueprint or the sketch of an idea. Together, we will work out the exact dimensions of your profile and create a definitive blueprint.
Choosing materials
Once the geometry of the profile is on paper, we choose which material to extrude. The choice of material depends on a number of factors:
- hardness and elasticity
- UV- and weather-resistance
- flame-retardant or flame-extinguishing properties
- colour
- antibacterial properties
- antistatic properties
- chemical resistance
- degree of food contact
- impact resistance
- temperature resistance
- diffusion density
- user of recycled plastics
Quantity
Profiles are extruded in metres of length at a time. The one-off start-up of the production process costs energy, time and materials. That means the more metres you order, the more efficient the process is. This is why it is important to set the desired quantity in advance.
