Extrusion Products

If you have never heard of the term "extrusion products," you are not alone. Many people are unfamiliar with the official title of plastic tube products, but we are positive that most people are more than familiar with the products themselves. We use extrusion products every day as part of our daily lives, in a variety of ways. Businesses also use them routinely.

The extrusion process is the first step in plastic tubing manufacturing. A raw plastic resin melts to the point where it's forced through a long, thin dye to form pieces such as a pipe, tube, or hose. Raw material enters the extruder through a large hopper and heats up. Temperatures get hot, ranging from 400°F (204°C) to 550°F (288°C).

In some cases, special additives are sometimes added before heating. The molten plastic travels down a barrel that forces it through an opening called a die at high pressure. The plastic exits the barrel through the die forms into a continuous, solid strand as it extrudes.

The strand of plastic travels through air cooling, which helps it solidify and take shape. A vacuum pulls the plastic strand or hose from the cooling coil, ending the extrusion process. It can also form shaped plastic, otherwise known as an extrusion plastic profile.
