Plastics are a modern technological marvel without which it is difficult to imagine the modern world, as we can witness the use of plastics all around us. Plastic extrusion is the most widely used process for manufacturing different types of plastic products on an industrial scale due to the process being extreme efficiency. The raw material used in this process is generally referred to as nurdles, and industrial machinery is used for this process of extrusion.
Understanding a Few Products Made from the Extrusion Process
The halogen-free, self-extinguishing plastic blend in LS0H rigid conduit tunnel provides low smoke and low toxicity performance, which makes the material safer than the traditional PVC conduit in fire-prone conditions. It produces a lot less poisonous gas and thick smoke during combustion, enhancing evacuation visibility and minimising the risk of inhalation. It is chemically resistant and can be used in harsh industrial applications and in vehicles. Due to these characteristics, the LS0H conduit is frequently selected in enclosed areas such as in tunnels, shafts, in buildings accessible by the public and in construction considered green where fire-safety and environmental norms are stringent.
Extrusion profiles are produced by melting plastic pellets and forcing the molten plastic through a shaped die, producing continuous profiles - simple tubes to complex structural components. This yields high-volume production, cross-sections that are uniform and very precise, and relatively low tooling and per-unit costs. Co-extrusion allows an individual profile to contain two or more materials (or colours), making components that may have a rigid internal structure and softer sealing edge, or stratified materials to create high-performance items. This flexibility allows extrusion and co-extrusion to be perfect in a variety of applications, such as window frames, trims, seals, tubing, gaskets and more.
