Tràfilo has a very wide range of extruded and co-extruded plastics to meet the needs of our customers.
Our wide range of suppliers and customers enables us to gain experience of many innovative materials and we always keep up to date with the most advanced technologies.
Plastics are constantly evolving and we are always on the lookout for materials with better technical properties to assess their effectiveness at the manufacturing stage or as a finished product.
The historical relationship with our suppliers is closely related to the quality of our products: they guarantee the chemical properties of the raw materials and we verify them with targeted laboratory tests based on our customers’ requests. Thanks to our continuous relationship with a network of experienced professionals, we push current standards of raw materials, production and environmental sustainability. For the last ten years we have been exclusively using materials free of phthalates following the regulation ECC n.1907/2006 REACH..
The versatility of our production enables us to apply our skills in a wide cross-section of industry.

Our knowledge of the raw materials and their intrinsic properties enables us to satisfy all the different requests of the market and to make a significant contribution to the design and development phase of our partners’ products.
We use only first-class plastics and avoid the use of reclaimed products.
Our in-depth knowledge of plastics, our continuous collaboration with professionals of international renown and our ability to make the best use of different raw materials according to the sector have always been among Tràfilo’s main strengths.
Because it’s essential to choose the best material for the job.
We process raw materials and blends of different materials to obtain specific properties. If there is a particular request our materials can have additives (a chemical modification to the base material) to give to the finished product extra anti-bacterial, self-extinguishing, conductive or other properties.
Alternatively, the finished product can be specially treated: while retaining its chemical composition.
In addition to raw materials we use Blends to mix materials in different proportions, to produce composites with particular properties. Examples of Blends are:
Rigid PVC + ABS
To increase the Vicat hardness of the PVC (Vicat = softening point of the material)
Edoflex + plasticised PVC with added rubber
To increase the elasticity of the material
Additives are used to improve or modify the properties of the principal raw material.
