​

Q: What are the benefits of plastic profiles?

Ans: Plastic profiles are lightweight, corrosion resistant, cost effective, and customizable in shape and material. They offer consistent dimensions and are widely used in HVAC, construction, refrigeration, and electrical systems.

​

Q: What are the types of plastic profiles?
Ans: Common types include U channels, T sections, L angles, H connectors, tubes, edge trims, sealing strips, and fully custom engineered profiles based on application requirements.

​

Q: What is a PVC profile?

Ans: A PVC profile is an extruded plastic section made from polyvinyl chloride. It is durable, moisture resistant, and commonly used in window frames, ducting, electrical trunking, and construction trims.

​

Q: How do you cut a plastic profile?
Ans: Plastic profiles can be cut using circular saws with fine blades, CNC cutting machines, or precision industrial cutting equipment to ensure clean edges and accurate dimensions.

​

Q: Which is better PP or PE?

Ans: PP is better for higher heat resistance and rigidity. PE is better for flexibility and impact resistance. The right choice depends on the application and environmental conditions.

​

Q: What are the 7 main types of plastic?
Ans: The 7 main plastic types are PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, PS, and Other. Each has different properties and uses in packaging, construction, and industrial manufacturing.

​

Q: What is Type 4 plastic used for?

Ans: Type 4 plastic is LDPE. It is commonly used for plastic bags, shrink wraps, squeeze bottles, and flexible packaging due to its flexibility and moisture resistance.

​

Q: What is Type 7 plastic called?
Ans: Type 7 plastic is labeled “Other.” It includes materials such as polycarbonate, acrylic, nylon, and specialty or bio-based plastics.

​

Q: Is Type 7 plastic safe?
