Plastic profiles for refrigeration: efficiency and cold resistance
Profili in plastica per la refrigerazione: efficienza e resistenza al freddo

Plastic profiles for refrigeration ensure the efficiency and functionality of various refrigerated equipment. They are widely used in cold rooms, refrigerated counters, refrigerated cabinets and refrigerated tables, playing a key role in maintaining the desired temperature and providing thermal insulation. These components must retain their mechanical properties even at very low temperatures, which are typical of applications in this field.

The features of plastic profiles for refrigeration

One of the main functions of plastic profiles for refrigeration is to thermally insulate equipment, helping to maintain a steady internal temperature. Products developed for these applications must have good insulation properties to reduce leakage and improve efficiency, thereby optimizing energy consumption. Flexibility is also key to ensuring a perfect airtight seal, which prevents cold from escaping and hot air from entering. Plastic profiles for refrigeration and gaskets must be capable of deforming slightly to fit surfaces and then return to their original shape without losing functionality. Also needed is the ability to withstand continuous and prolonged use, especially in commercial applications where doors are opened and closed frequently. The plastic material must be resistant to mechanical wear and stress without losing its sealing properties.

The cold resistance of plastic profiles for refrigeration

Cold is the main threat to plastic profiles for refrigeration, since many plastic materials tend to stiffen and become brittle at low temperatures. This loss of flexibility reduces the ability to adapt to surfaces and seal them tightly, increasing heat loss and compromising effectiveness in maintaining internal temperature, negatively impacting food storage. In extreme cases, excessive cold can cause fractures or cracks, compromising functionality. Under these conditions, plastic profiles for refrigeration also tend to become less resistant to impact and shock. Some types of plastic also can degrade more rapidly when constantly exposed to very low temperatures.

The specialists in the field of profiles for refrigeration

Plastic profiles for refrigeration represent one of VBN’s core businesses. With years of experience and a future-oriented vision, we provide tailored solutions for the refrigeration industry, efficiently meeting the needs of an increasingly competitive market. Customization involves not only the design of sizes and shapes, but also the choice of materials and functional characteristics. Advanced polymers are selected to make plastic profiles for refrigeration to ensure durability, insulation and resistance, even at low temperatures.
Our production includes many kinds of heat-insulating profiles that are applied to large refrigerated facilities and community complexes: refrigerated cabinets, refrigerated tables, cold rooms, refrigerated counters, professional and domestic refrigerated furniture.
