Results for tag: "Extrusion Molding Plastics"

Extrusion molding is a process used in the plastics industry to create objects of a fixed, cross-sectional profile. A material, usually in the form of pellets or granules, is heated and pushed through a die of the desired shape, producing continuous lengths of the plastic profile that can be cut to length after cooling. This process is used extensively for the manufacturing of pipes, tubing, weather stripping, window frames, plastic sheeting, and wire insulation. Extrusion is an efficient and widely adopted method for producing a large volume of plastic products with a consistent shape and size. In the context of the plastics market, extrusion molding caters to various sectors including construction, automotive, packaging, consumer goods, and electrical industries. Innovations in extrusion technology, such as co-extrusion (producing a part with multiple layers of material or colors) and the ability to process a wide range of materials, have broadened its application areas, making it a versatile solution for many manufacturing requirements. Prominent companies within the extrusion molding plastics market include Berry Global Inc., Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, JM Eagle, Formosa Plastics Group, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, and Sealed Air Corporation. These manufacturers are engaged in the production and supply of extruded plastic products, catering to the needs of various end-user industries around the world. Show Less Read more
