The journey of thermoplastic extrusion began in 1935 when Paul Troester and Ashley Gershoff made pioneering strides in Hamburg, Germany. This milestone laid the foundation for what has become a critical process in the manufacturing of versatile plastic products. The plastic extrusion process starts with guiding polymers or raw plastic into the heart of the extrusion machine. Here, they melt into a malleable state and make their way through a custom-designed mold. The mold will be whatever the consumer requires: whether that’s tubing, plastic film, or any other detailed profile. The extrusion process accommodates a wide range of thermoplastics such as PVC, PE, PP, ABS, and Acrylic, among others. The material selection hinges on the specific characteristics needed in the finished piece.
