Hello
I have to make a staircase with a round hand of 40 mm diameter in "PVC" or "Mopplen" bending to order by my client.
Problem I don't know any manufacturer for this kind of product.
If a plastics specialist could give me information, would it be perfect?
Thank you in advance.
I couldn't find a manufacturer for the Moplen tubes.
But there is this site where they sell stairs directly :-)

Have a nice day
Thank you for your answer.
I know the site and I am looking for the manufacturer of this handrail.
Or another manufacturer.
Hello
In my opinion, you should look for a plastics specialist...
I don't know which region you are from, but I will search in Google (or elsewhere) "plastics company" with + your department or region...
For example, plastics company 51 (based on your nickname)
Then, either consult the companies' websites or, in my opinion, call them directly to find out if they do this type of service.
You can also try calling the company below that distributes Moplen. Maybe a nice person there will be able to inform you and direct you to a plastics manufacturer who is used to making Moplen objects.
Hello
Its good thing because I received yesterday the KD FEDDERSEN dealer who is also a Lyondellbasell dealer (manufacturer of the moplen brand) unless another brand does the trick? Can I inquire if they do extrusion grades and who they sell it to if you want?
Above all, I had the opportunity to work with the company Rhonalpex, which does extrusion and therefore pvc without any problem.
If necessary, I pass on the sales contact from them.
Have a nice day

Thank you both for your answers
For ROM'S no problem to have contacts.
I develop wood and metal stairs and I know nothing about "Plastic".
I have seen at Italian escaliesr manufacturers that their hands were made of Moplen but for my part it doesn't speak much to me.
I'm just looking for a manufacturer who can make round hands of 3 or 4 meters in diameter 40 mm that can be bent "hot or cold".
Do not hesitate to send me your contacts if you have any.
And thank you again in advance
So precisely, Moplen is used in many products.
It is used, for example, for bathroom syphons, but also for kitchen strainers, etc.
All this to say that the use is very wide, but that it is (to be checked anyway) impossible to bend it cold.
Moplen is just a brand. It's actually just Polypropylene.
Certainly if Italians use Moplen brand Polypropylene, it is because this brand must have an interesting quality/price ratio.
In fact I advise you to send a request to a transformer with if possible 3d and 2d, specifications (solvent resistance, mechanical, bending, ect...), annual order volumes and number of parts/orders.
As in your case, the inner diameter is not functional for you except for mechanical resistance I guess.
This kind of remark allows him to advise you in the design related to the process.
In the end, he will give you a quote that you can compare with others.
As for the brand, he will choose himself according to his internal standards and specifications.
Being a processor, I advise you to listen to his choice because in the end he is the one who transforms it and therefore guarantees the quality of your product.
There are equivalents in all brands (a technyl a218 is equivalent to a nilamid a2 H7 G6 for polyamides 6-6 for example).
I'll transfer the contact details to you
Don't hesitate if you need information, it's a milieu that I know well and if I can be useful it's with pleasure.
Rom's
