Extrusion (undefined)

In the standard extrusion technique, plastic materials undergo a process where they are melted and pushed forward through the rotational motion of a screw operating on the Archimedean principle. Characterized by its continuous nature, this method is exceptionally suited for producing extensive lengths of products, making it perfect for items like pipes and various profiles. Often, these continuously extruded products are segmented into specific lengths for different applications.

Commonly Utilised Materials:

as well as Extrusions for Windows, Doors, and Conservatory Frameworks.

For a plastic to be a viable candidate for extrusion, it typically requires high viscosity and melt strength, ensuring a consistent flow as it emerges from the extrusion die. This category of processing is broad and includes various extrusion techniques.
