Industry Information

Extruded Plastics

Plastic profiles, plastic channels, plastic rods, plastic tubing, plastic trim and plastic sheets are all extruded plastics which play a vital role in virtually every industry, from consumer to automotive to medical. Plastic channels and profiles can have almost limitless length and are manufactured into window profiles, building siding and trim, gutters and channels, sealing sections, hoses, curtain rods, tubes, pipes, drinking straws and many other common products. Extruded plastic sheets are used in packaging and are often thermoformed into consumer products and packaging. The extrusion process is highly customizable and is capable of high volume production as well as short runs, making plastic extrusion one of the most diverse and economical methods of plastic fabrication.

HDPE, LDPE, PETG, PVC, butyrate, vinyl, polypropylene and polystyrene are all plastics which are commonly extruded. The extrusion process begins with raw plastic pellets or flakes being fed into a hopper placed atop a closed extruding channel; gravity feeds the raw plastic material down into the extruding channel. Running through the length of the channel is a screw conveyor which moves the raw plastic along towards the opposite end, shearing and heating the plastic through friction. The plastic pellets "plasticize", or melt, as they move through the conveyor, and on the end of the conveyor channel a die is secured which forms the molten plastic into a specific profile as it is pushed, or "extruded" through by the screw conveyor. The newly formed plastic profile is instantly cooled with cold water, pulled through by a series of conveyors and cut to appropriate lengths. In this way plastic profiles, channels and tubing are manufactured quickly and at fairly high volume.

Plastic sheeting is extruded in a similar way, except the molten plastic is pushed through flat or semicircular dies then stretched into flat sheets, cooled through a series of rolling calendars and wound around spools. Sometimes additives and coating resins are added to the surface of the plastic sheeting during the calendering process. Extruded plastic sheets are an essential part of the plastic fabrication industry, since most thermoforming processes use plastic sheeting of various gauges as a raw material. Point of purchase displays, blister packaging, disposable eating utensils and many other products are made through thermoforming processes such as vacuum forming and pressure forming.

Plastic extrusions are responsible for the production of everyday necessities like PVC pipes, indoor and outdoor window trim, sealing bars, siding, plastic gutters, plastic sheeting, toys, recreational accessories, and much more. Virtually every industry uses plastic extrusions, including the automotive, marine, packaging, plumbing, construction and medical industries. Plastic rods and thick gauge sheets are machined by automotive, aerospace and construction industries into parts for close tolerance applications. Since the extrusion process uses a continuous output of smooth, thoroughly heated and mixed material, extruded plastics seldom have bubbles or inconsistencies, and they are therefore valued for their structural integrity and consistent profiles.
