Flat extruded plastic profiles: tailor-made solutions for industry

Flat extruded plastic profiles represent one of the most versatile solutions in the world of polymer materials. Used across multiple sectors—from construction to lighting, furniture to automotive—they ensure functionality, durability, and design flexibility.

Unlike standard semi-finished products, flat extruded plastic profiles can be fully customized on client request: dimensions, materials, colors, surface finishes, and integrated accessories are defined according to specific project requirements, giving complete control over the final product.

Advantages of customized flat plastic profiles

  • Adaptability to diverse applications
  • Optimization of production costs
  • High dimensional accuracy
  • Choice among a wide range of thermoplastic materials
  • Aesthetic freedom with custom finishes or RAL colors
  • Application of primers, double-sided adhesive, or metal inserts

For designers and engineers, this flexibility translates into reliable products ready to meet specific requirements without compromise.

Extruded technical plastic profiles: features and performance

These profiles are produced with high-performance polymers such as PVC, ABS, PMMA, PC, TPE, and engineered thermoplastics. Key characteristics include:

  • Mechanical and chemical resistance
  • Thermal stability
  • Long-lasting durability even under challenging environmental conditions
  • Compatibility with recycling processes

These properties make thermoplastic flat profiles ideal for sectors where reliability and safety are essential.

Applications of flat extruded plastic profiles in industry

Thanks to their design flexibility, flat extruded plastic profiles find applications in various industrial sectors:

  • Construction and window systems: cover strips, flat gaskets, closing beads
  • Furniture: ABS or PVC edges, decorative panels, protective profiles
  • Lighting: transparent or opaline flat strips for LED diffusion, linear covers
  • Automotive: flat profiles for internal trims, functional and aesthetic solutions
  • Technical packaging: flat plastic reinforcements for protective and specialized packaging

This versatility allows a single product concept to satisfy multiple needs.

Examples of plastic profiles produced by Mavis

  • Shock-resistant PVC flat cover strips for window systems exposed to the elements
  • Flat LED profile in transparent or opaline polycarbonate for linear lighting
  • ABS flat edges with primer application for furniture panels
  • ABS flat profiles for electronic supports
  • Adhesive-backed flat strips for fast and secure applications
  • Flat thermoplastic elastomer gaskets for sealing applications

These examples demonstrate how customization is key to meeting specific technical requirements. Mavis provides guidance on achieving fully tailored plastic profiles.

Innovation and sustainability in plastic extrusion

Extrusion of flat profiles no longer ends at a simple rectangular shape. Advanced solutions include:

  • Multilayer co-extrusion: combining different materials in a single profile
  • Reinforced thermoplastics: glass fiber or special additives for high performance
  • Sustainability: use of recycled and recyclable materials, minimizing production waste
  • Rapid prototyping: simulating profile behavior before full-scale production

These technologies meet modern client demands while aligning with eco-design and Industry 4.0 trends.
