Extruded plastics play a pivotal role in the medical sector, prized for their hygiene, flexibility, and rapid prototyping capabilities. These properties make them ideal for critical applications like medical tubing. As a leading global supplier with decades of expertise, Primo delivers precision-engineered solutions, including specialized packaging tubes.
Medical tubing consists of flexible plastic tubes essential across healthcare settings. Clinicians rely on them to deliver fluids, manage gas flow, and support devices like IV lines and ventilators. You'll also find them in catheters for cardiac procedures and countless other life-saving applications. Extruded plastic medical tubing proves invaluable daily.
Primo exemplifies excellence in this field, producing advanced tubing such as X-ray tubes, corrugated designs, bubble tubes, wire-embedded options, and single- or multi-lumen varieties. From concept to completion, Primo offers full design and development services, with fast, flexible prototyping for custom needs.
Beyond medical tubing, Primo supplies high-quality plastic packaging profiles for automotive electronics. These components demand superior protection, and Primo's custom profiles ensure maximum security and reliability.
Primo's packaging tubes stand out due to our extensive experience in polymer extrusion. This expertise enables extraordinary quality in custom polymer-based designs. Key benefits include:
Extruded plastic is produced through a process where polymer material is melted, mixed with additives, and forced through a die to form continuous profiles. This high-precision method yields everything from tubes to films.
Common types of plastic extrusion include:
This method creates pipes and tubes using internal air pressure and cooling in water baths post-die, ensuring structural integrity.
Ideal for plastic films, molten polymer forms a tube that's inflated and cooled to produce items like shopping bags.
For thicker sheets, chill rolls control thickness and flexibility after extrusion.
This coats wires with molten plastic inside the die under pressure, providing essential electrical insulation and protection.
This overview highlights extruded plastics' indispensable role in healthcare and beyond. With applications in medical tubing and secure packaging, these materials are everyday essentials backed by proven expertise.
