Naylor Bespoke Plastic Tubes And Profiles
Established in 2007 as part of the Naylor Group, Naylor Specialist Plastics Ltd. is well known for the manufacture of extruded thermoplastic profiles and specialist plastic tubular products across a number of different business to business and consumer sectors, including retail and construction.
Although we provide an extensive range of plastic tubes and profiles ‘off the peg’, because of continuous investment in our manufacturing capabilities, we can also offer our customers bespoke plastic tubes or profiles that may not be easily available commercially.
Through continued investment in the latest equipment, we have the manufacturing capability and versatility to produce any size of plastic tube from 2mm to 315mm here in the UK, from our sites in Wombwell and Tipton.
If you require prototypes for specific projects, development samples, plastic tubes in custom sizes, Naylor Specialist Plastics Ltd. can provide exactly what you are looking for.
If you would like to discuss your requirements in more detail, why not contact us so we can help you to find the right solution for your project?

Welded wire reinforced flexible ducting
We manufacture a number of ventilation products that have been widely used in mines as well as other civil engineering projects all over the world.
Wire reinforced ducting
This welded wire reinforced ducting requires no alignment for the direction of flow and can be installed in either direction, producing larger air delivery from the same fan because of significantly lower resistance to air flow.
Its welded construction means that no air, water, or condensation is able to escape and stitching at the low points, in a duct run, prevents leaks of air or air contaminants.
In addition, it is straightforward to join lengths together via low pressure suction applications, using our standard steel end rings, supplied as normal with the ducting.
However, for projects demanding a more secure joint, we can supply separate coupling bands, if required.
In addition to the comprehensive standard range of ducting materials outlined below, we can also manufacture wire reinforced ducting to specific requirements of individual customers.
Ventilation ducting
Ventilation ducting is suitable for both exhaust and reversible ventilation systems, as required.
We can supply the ducting in any length, up to a maximum of 20 metres, with diameters ranging is width from 200 mm to 1600 mm.
Our ventilation ducting can be manufactured from flame retardant and anti-static PVC-coated materials of various strengths depending on the requirements of the customer and application.
In the same way, we can also adjust the wire reinforcement, strength, and pitch to meet the exhaust suction requirements.
Extraction ducting
There may be applications in the mining and tunnelling sectors that require industrial ducting to conduct hazardous materials, such as fumes or dust, away from working areas.
Naylor’s manufacture a range of premium quality flat-lay ducting, for use in welding or extraction ducting, and forced ventilation systems in order to protect the safety of engineers and other personnel.
Cost-effective and easy to install, it is available in short or long runs and can be attached either horizontally or vertically to minimise the use of space.
Although it is lightweight, It can be made to withstand the suction operating pressures of any extraction unit.
Our flat-lay ducting is made from flame retardant, anti-static, heavy duty reinforced PVC, with welded airtight seams and offers minimal flow resistance.
Again, this industrial ducting can be made to withstand the suction pressures of any extraction unit.
In addition, we manufacture a range of ducting accessories to enable easy, leak-free, ducting connections including:
Flexible end rings
Clamping rings
Zipper rings
Velcro-type fastenings
Suspension hanger systems
Moulded components such a T, Y, and branch pieces
Ducting cassettes are available in a choice of steel or GRP, and these can be packed for ease of installation.
If the site has space, we also offer an exchange cassette packing service.
Warm/cool air ducting
If temporary heating is required, supplied from either gas or portable electric heating units, wire reinforced ducting is available in neoprene, Hypalon, PVC or silicone materials as required by the appropriate level of duty.
Welded ducting is also used extensively in air conditioning applications and can be joined to any length depending on the specifications of the project or application.
Warm/cool air ducting can be supplied for diverse operating temperatures from as high as 300 degrees Centigrade down to -40 degrees Centigrade.
Other products for mining and tunnelling
Ground Anchors
Naylor ground anchors are used in underground mining projects to stabilise local geology, improve mine productivity, and to strengthen tunnel construction.
Manufactured from fibre-reinforced plastic, our ground anchors are corrosion resistant, offering a lightweight, viable alternative to metal anchors.
If they are chosen for coal mining applications, Naylor ground anchors can be ground up by mining machinery after use, without needing to be removed or affecting the quality of the coal.
Fans, silencers, dust filters etc.
In addition to a range of ducting products and ground anchors, Naylor Specialist Plastics can provide a number of fans, silencers, and dust filters for mining projects and tunnelling applications.
These products include axial flow fans and ancillary products including:
Silencers
Sound-proof containers
Transition pieces
Grills
Dampers
All our fans are supplied with the relevant test certificates and warranties, and they can also be supplied with ATEX-rated motors, frequency inverters, and monitoring systems if required.
In addition, our specialist team of technicians is able to offer a repair/refurbishment service when necessary.
At Naylor Specialist Plastics our manufacturing capacity has increased tenfold in just the last few years, thanks to our ethos of investing profit into our manufacturing capabilities.
