What is plastic extrusion?

Plastic extrusion is a manufacturing process that creates continuous products with uniform shapes such as profiles, pipes, hoses, sheets, and moldings. The material is melted and pushed through a die that gives it the desired shape.

Advantages of extrusion

• Efficiency: Continuous production of long pieces such as profiles and hoses.
• Versatility: Works with a wide range of plastics (PVC, PE, PP, ABS, PC, TPU, TPE).
• Precision: Accurate control over dimensions and finishes.
